Beautiful Christmas markets with tasty glue wine 😉🍷

Nice square worth stopping by. Amazing flowers everywhere!

They made the advent with children’s drawings! I mean… is this not enough to love Brixen? 😍

My favourite Christmas market in all of South Tyrol!!!

worth the travel, a lot of awesome food, nice atmosphere convenient parking. it's big enough to spend half a day and visit the nice city of Meran. Public underground toilet on site in the middle of it

This is an amazing place where to spend hours breathing the Xmas atmosphere and shooting the breeze drinking some vin brulee (mulled wine). At 4 o'clock must wait the opening of the Advent Calendar window... Really a worthwhile experience!

Old traditional Christmas market. Amazing stuff sold here

Free entry with the Brixen Card to see a lot of religious art and a nice palace. Toilet was very clean. The lady from the ticket store was very kind

Wonderful memories. The best place to go if you are in Bressanone to view Baroque style art.

I visited the museum for Christmas. The digitized story and show of lights impressed me and made an unforgettable memory. I would recommend and visit again.

Interesting castle. The exhibitions may seem attracting to people who are interested in Christianity.

Nice place with a lot of history!

Beautiful castle

I went to the cathedral on the 6th in January 2017. L epifania. They were celebrating this feast with a mass concert written by Charles Gounod. It was the best moment of my holiday. Like being being in heaven. What’s more it was free of charge. People are friendly even though the refuse to talk italian. Loved it.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience, tickets can be purchased both online and at the kiosk in front of the building. Duration approximately 30 minutes. (Original) Bellissima esperienza, i biglietti si possono prendere sia online che nel chiosco davanti al palazzo. Durata circa 30 minuti.

(Translated by Google) A truly special evening, following the blue thread that led us to discover, one after the other, the interactive installations that illuminate the streets of Bressanone for the 5th year. An original way to discover the city. Like a fun but also sustainable treasure hunt: this year the energy consumption to illuminate the festival has been reduced by 50%. By day, the installations can be visited, touched and tested at Novacella Abbey and Fortezza Fort. I'm already curious to see next year's new installations. I won't miss it! (Original) Una serata davvero speciale, seguendo il filo azzurro che ci ha portati a scoprire, una dopo l'altra, le installazioni interattive che illuminano per il 5° anno le strade di Bressanone. Un modo originale per scoprire la città. Come una caccia al tesoro divertente ma anche sostenibile: quest'anno il consumo energetico per illuminare il festival è stato ridotto del 50%. Di giorno, le installazioni si possono visitare, toccare e mettere alla prova all'Abbazia di Novacella e al Forte di Fortezza. Sono già curiosa di vedere le nuove installazioni del prossimo anno. Non mancherò!

(Translated by Google) My expectations were very high seeing the photos online. I find it somewhat misleading to include photos from the first years in the 2023 event when the event was certainly worth seeing. Except for 3 or 4 projections on buildings and fairly anonymous and questionable installations (a couple even paid for) I found a deserted, dark and sad place in Bressanone on a Saturday evening (perhaps the sad fame had already reached many, who knows). I thought it was a party, with lots of people, some stands, music and a magical atmosphere, but nothing. I traveled 600 km to see them and there was nothing magical here. It goes without saying that it was absolutely not worth it and that this festival as it was organized is just an artistic exhibition like an exhibition but for me the festival is something else. If these are the premises, it is better not to repeat it in the next few years so as not to find yourself disappointed like me when seeing photos of something that no longer exists. (Original) Le mie aspettative erano molto alte vedendo le foto on line. Trovo alquanto ingannevole inserire nell evento 2023 le foto dei primi anni in cui sicuramente l evento valeva la pena di essere visto. Eccetto 3 o 4 proiezioni sui palazzi e installazioni abbastanza anonime e discutibili (un paio addirittura a pagamento) ho trovato una bressanone in un sabato sera deserta, buia E triste (forse la triste fama era già arrivata a tanti, chissa). Pensavo fosse una festa, con tante persone , qualche stand, musica e atmosfera magica, ma niente. Ho fatto 600 km di viaggio per vederle e di magia qua non c era nulla. Inutile dire che non ne è valsa assolutamente la pena e che questo festival per come è stato organizzato è solo una esposizione artistica al pari di una mostra ma festival per me è una altra cosa. Se queste sono le premesse meglio non ripeterlo i prossimi anni per non trovarsi delusi come me a rivedere le foto di qualcosa che non c è più.

(Translated by Google) From 3 to 21 May 2023, Bressanone hosts, as it has for 5 years now, a wonderful event: an illuminated blue thread accompanies the visitor along the streets and squares of the city to discover installations of lights, water and videomapping that leave you enraptured. Only some sites, such as the Hofburg, require a ticket, everything else is free. Marvelous. (Original) Dal 3 al 21 maggio 2023, Bressanone ospita, come da 5 anni a questa parte, un meraviglioso evento: un filo blu illuminato accompagna il visitatore lungo vie e piazze della città alla scoperta di istallazioni di luci, acqua, videomapping che che lasciano estasiati. Solo alcuni siti, come l'Hofburg, richiedono un biglietto, tutto il resto è gratuito. Meraviglioso.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful experience. During your visit, operate all the internal and external areas, turn around the city located in the beautiful Bressanone/Brixen. A journey through art with the light as the center Fantastic experience! During the day you see works and installations in the Abbey or the Fort and at night you walk and see the installations in charming Bressanone/Brixen! A journey through art through light. Discover new places, be sure to try the wines and gastronomy of the area! (Original) Bellissima esperienza. Di giorni visiti opere all’interno e di sera, gire per la città vedendo istallazioni nella stupenda Bressanone/Brixen. Un viaggio per l’arte con la luce come centro ¡Fantàstica experiencia! De día ves obras e instalaciones en la Abadia o el Fuerte y de noche ¡paseas y ves las instalaciones de la encantadora Bressanone/Brixen! Un viaje por el arte a travès de la luz. Descubre lugares nuevos, no dejes de probar los vinos y la gastronomía de la zona!

(Translated by Google) Moving. A magical experience, you remain like children faced with a magic that you don't understand, but which enchants. Splendid installations, all explained in the brochures found in every hotel, information center and even on the street. A clear and well-marked path (just follow the bright thread, like a thumb with crumbs in short, and that's not to say). Lots of people but the festival takes place in the beautiful Bressanone, so there is space for everyone to stop and admire each work. The only flaw is that I would have the show continue until one o'clock, as three hours are barely enough to see all the installations around the town properly. It will be a fixed stop from now on, also because the installations change from year to year. In love. (Original) Commovente. Un'esperienza magica, si rimane come bambini di fronte una magia che non si comprende, ma che incanta. Splendide installazioni, tutte spiegate negli opuscoli che si trovano in ogni hotel, centro informazioni e anche per strada. Un percorso chiaro e ben segnato (basta seguire il filo luminoso, come pollicino con le briciole insomma, e non è per dire). Tanta gente ma il festival si snoda nella bellissima Bressanone, quindi c'è spazio per tutti, per fermarsi ad ammirare ogni opera. Unico neo, farei proseguire lo spettacolo fino all'una, in quanto tre ore bastano a stento per vedere bene tutte le installazioni in giro per la cittadina. Sara una tappa fissa da ora in poi, anche perché le installazioni cambiano di anno in anno. Innamorata.

(Translated by Google) The entire central district of Bressanone is dressed in lights and water features for this spectacular and very successful festival. Thanks to a blue thread that connects all the artistic installations, you can also visit little-known areas of the city. Highly recommended visit (Original) L'intero quartiere centrale di Bressanone si veste di luci e giochi d'acqua per questo spettacolare e riuscitissimo festival. Grazie ad un filo blu che collega tutte le installazioni artistiche, si possono visitare anche zone poco conosciute della città. Visita consigliatissima

The Avis office is a 25 minutes walk from the train station, even though I took a local bus it took me 20 minutes to reach the place. Note: you cannot buy bus tickets directly on the bus! I rented a small-medium car for approximately 6 days. Ok price. Customers service ok as well. Car was clean, but the windscreen wiper water was not working (I refilled, guess some problem with the pump..). You can return the car by leaving the key in a key box.

We got a car that does not match what we have booked online, and we were under time pressure. I wouldn't book from there again.

Probably the cheapest place to rent a car in that area. The car was better than I booked and expected. Super comfortable and modern. Thank you for the car and the uncomplicated service. The only bad thing I can report is some money they charged me many days after I rent the car from my credit card without any information. Sad that they couldn't provide me the reason for that extra fee. So I need to reduce one star for my rating.

They were able to get me my car quickly. It it's also a service department for an opal car dealership. Original person did not speak English but was able to get someone quickly to assist. About a 14 minute walk from the train station.

Hi, Is it possible to rent/get a car on Saturday or Sunday ? I am planning to arrive at Bressanone on Saturday/Sunday by train

Employees always go beyond the call of duty to give me the car I want.

Super

Older part of the Dom's complex with historical fresco.

This is located at the right side of the Brixner Dom, and part of the most important artistic monuments in South Tyrol. The place is not overcrowded, you can have peace by looking at those beautiful frescoes still visible after a long time...you can take photos but no flash, no dogs,no drinks, phone must be in silent mode .

Charming town with loads of shops, places to eat, and stunning views. We loved it in the winter during Christmas

Beautiful small town.

Beautiful small city in the Alps

Best town in the world.

Interesting cloister art in peaceful yard

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in (as an experienced traveler)! Where to start: clean, comfortable, nice interior, great hospitality and friendly staff. The breakfast is superb with local specialties and a la carte dishes. The restaurant offers the most refined local cuisine in the neighborhood. The car park is easy to reach and located very close to the hotel so you don’t need to navigate your car into the historic city center. The spa is equipped with a nice sauna, steam bath, roman bath etc and is well maintained. We found it a real treat after a day of hiking in the mountains. Highly recommend and will return.

A true gem in Brixen. Fink offers a refined take on Tyrolean cuisine—original, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. Every dish felt carefully curated, and the freshness of the vegetables and salad was next-level. The wine list is equally well considered, with excellent local selections. Warm, welcoming service with an impressive level of professionalism. A must-visit if you are in Brixen / Bressanone.

A truly exceptional dining experience. Creative compositions made from local ingredients, refined with herbs from the surrounding nature. The bread alone is absolutely mind-blowing. Top notch in every way – and the quality fully justifies the price. We loved it and will definitely be back.

You have to go here if you’re in Brixen! It’s an absolutely fabulous restaurant who deserves a thousand stars. The kitchen is excellent, refined to the fingertip, innovative and still so clean and beautiful. The menu has a generous variety for such high quality food, we loved every bite of our four course menu. My husband got great wine by the glass and the service was excellent. We want to move to Brixen so we can eat here frequently. Thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful experience

I cannot say anything about the rooms as we were restaurant guests, but the food, wine and drinks are awesome - and the service level well trained! Definitely come here for good food and a great time in Brixen! Compared to other restaurants in the city, this is definitely a great place and I would love to try the rooms one day!

The best in town. Fantastic traditional food served by very friendly personel. The food quality and the cleanliness is amazing!

Fink restaurant is another level, we are vegan and they made us all the way they could, we went back to back two days and truly enjoyed the food and service. Very clean and fresh ingredients.

Baked bread with the aroma of whole grains Sea bass tartare is refreshing. Saffron risotto with shrimp gives a rich and chewy texture to the shrimp. Homemade spaghetti with chewy noodles stir-fried to perfection.

The place is super cool. Just to sit on the blue chairs is not at all comfortable. The appetizer what I have had was tasty accept the white foam. My partner had Paella, this was amazing. The creme brulee had clotted cream and it wasn't tasty at all.

We really enjoyed our dinner here. The food was delicious and of very high quality, and the atmosphere was wonderful. It’s one of our favorite restaurants from our Dolomites trip.

Nice location, pleasant surroundings, aircon inside. Food soso, I hope chef can try the tuna tartar that watermelon + marinated tuna generates some bitter taste… other food are standard, nothing special. Service standard, nothing to appraise.

Special Tapas Night was very disappointing. The five of us have ordered a variety of Tapas and except one dish , every single serve was over cooked and toooo salty …to the point the deep fried squid and fried zucchini became ‘un-eatable’ !! In addition, my serve of prawns was completely raw, meaning it was supposed to be cooked and was served totally green ! The red wine was also served way too warm and we ended up to throwing several glasses over the fence in protest. The waitress was very cooperative and has tried to save the evening without success. The bill was also way over the top considering that every shot you get at street food anywhere around world is better than this one.

We had a sublime summer lunch at this restaurant. The position by the lido in a park is gorgeous - even better if you have children with you who love playing on the playground and with the fountains while you enjoy a more leisurely meal. We celebrated our daughters birthday here. Reserving by email (in English) was a breeze and super responsive. We got exactly what we requested - a table, on the terrace outdoors, with shade, with a view of the playground. The welcome when we arrived was warm and the food was so exceptional. Kids food came quickly, adults food was appropriately paced, no one rushed us, everyone was exceptionally helpful. Gorgeous, fresh, not-fussy-just-fabulous food came out from a team of immaculate chefs in the wonderful open kitchen inside. You could taste the freshness of the vegetables and herbs, the quality of the meat / fish and everything we as prepared in such a way to compliment this. Best of all was the absolute stand out table service from the two waiters who looked after us, plus the sommelier. It was personal, personable, generous and authentic. A fantastic face on a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. 10/10

One of the best restaurant in Brixen if not the best ever .. location and atmosphere is fabulous.. kids friendly .. well arranged .. we came based on tanghof owner recommendation

The food was alright. Typical local food but nothing extraordinary. I think they are more known for their pizza but we were in the mood for pasta and schnitzel. The service was good though and the atmosphere very cute and heartwarming for a rainy day.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated within 10 mins. The service was good and staff was very nice. The diavola pizza is a must try while Jager was also good. Ankther must try is the tagliatelle with beef goulash, it was really delicious. Although the tiramisu was a bit disappointing with almost no flavor of espresso.

We were lucky to have a table outdoors despite being walk-ins on a nice summer evening. Had a tagliatelle with lamb ragout, and the white tiger pizza (pizza with marinated shrimp). The pizza had a balanced combination of shrimp and cherry tomatoes, the tagliatelle was also delicious with the ragout being the star.

Absolutely amazing food, best meal I have ever had. MUST VISIT IF YOU ARE HERE. Staff super friendly and helpful and hardworking!

My wife got the risotto while I had a pizza. Both were delicious and the staff were very friendly. The outdoor courtyard is beautiful, despite a bit of noise from the street. One thing to note, not sure if it was just a fluke, but after the sun went down a ton of wasps came out and were bothering people…

Excellent pizza and tasty beer with ample outdoor seating. The crust was excellent and service was super fast. You can get a Kamut version for a small extra charge. Pizza is served until 23:00, which is a great bonus if you arrive in town late.

Dinner al fresco in a group of twelve. Enjoyed wiener schnitzel with sweet potato fries, red wine for my wife, and ginger beer for me. A near perfect experience eating outdoors.

Very nice place with meticulously crafted food. Highly recommend if you have the budget. The decor both outside and inside is very classy Every plate is quite unique and very well balanced in terms of flavor. You can taste that a lot of thought was put on picking the ingredients and the final flavor.

This is the 3rd year we came Here. It was such a dissappointment. The service was poor, not friendly at all. We ordered a main course and there was A SNAIL in the salad.( see picture) I told the waitress, she took my plate, 5 min later I got a New plate, but it was my meat of the first plate. We ordered dessert and coffee, the other years we got cookies with the coffee, now nothing. Don’t eat here, a Nice setting, bit poor service and food is bad and expensive for what you get. We had to pay full price for a Meal with a snail in it!!!! Not even a free coffee to compensate.

We stopped by earlier for an impromptu aperitif. The ambience was delightful, and the service impeccable. What else can I say? That cold glass of Riesling was a perfect conclusion to a day of hiking.

Nice atmosphere. But the size of the dishes was EXTRA small. We left the restaurant as hungry as we had been when we entered...

Popped in here just thinking to have a nice lunch but wasn't prepared for the quality of food and service. Excellent place!

A beautiful place. The garden is amazing. The staff is very kind and helpful. The food is delicious. This place is amazing for couples and friends.

Excellent small restaurant in the heart of brixen. Good service and pleasant atmosphere. Wine is part of their inventory so if you like wine especially its well worth a visit.

Incredible dining experience. Some of the best food I’ve ever had, and definitely the best service I’ve ever experienced. On par with any 3 Michelin star meal I’ve ever had. Would return anytime I can.

Part of the Hotel Elefant the Apostelstube is the MUST VISIT in Brixen. The Michelin star restaurant has an amazing menu, a very creative chef, fantastic food and above all, an outstanding, friendly and welcoming service by the owner and his wife. (the service alone would be a 7-8 star rating)

Michelin 2024 but there’s nothing hoity toity about it. Just great food, pleasant staff and excellent service. €54 for 3-course lunch set.

(Translated by Google) What better way could an evening be than in the Apostelstube? Michael Falk and his team magnificently exceeded our expectations. It all begins with the elephant's journey, presented by Silvia and Michael, with small, delicious tidbits from each stop. The menu then begins in the Apostelstube. A design that immediately puts you at ease invites you to stay forever. The menu was a wonderful journey, exquisitely created by chef Michael. The wine pairing, or a great bottle of wine from the extensive wine list, was perfect. We had an unforgettable evening, with a wonderful atmosphere, very attentive service, and a fantastic taste experience. A million thanks to the whole team. 😍 (Original) Wie kann ein Abend schöner verlaufen als in der Apostelstube. Michael Falk mit seinem Team hat unsere Erwartungen grandios übertroffen. Am Anfang steht immer die Reise des Elefanten, die von Silvia und Michael, mit kleinen Genusshappen von den einzelnen Reisestationen, vorgetragen wurde. In der Apostelstube, startet dann das Menü. Ein Design zum sofortigen Wohlfühlen lädt ein um für immer zu bleiben. Das Menü war eine tolle Reise, die von dem Chef Michael, auf das feinste kreiert war. Dazu die Weinbegleitung, oder eine tolle Flasche Wein aus der umfangreichen Weinkarte. Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Abend, tolle Atmosphäre, sehr aufmerksamer Service und ein großartiges Geschmackserlebnis. 1000 Dank an das ganze Team. 😍

(Translated by Google) A sensational evening from start to finish. A very attentive welcome with an aperitif to start and greetings from the kitchen, with a history of the house. Excellent service throughout the evening with a great wine pairing, which was very suitable for me. The menu was very consistent and of a high standard across all courses. The ingredients couldn't be better, with the highlight being the langoustine. We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much! (Original) Sensationeller Abend von Anfang bis Ende. Sehr aufmerksamer Empfang mit Aperitif zum Start und Grüße aus der Küche, mit Geschichte zum Haus. Exzellenter Service über den ganzen Abend mit toller Weinbegleitung, die für mich sehr passend war. Menü über alle Gänge sehr konstant und auf hohem Niveau. Produkte die besser nicht gehen, Highlight Langoustine. Wir kommen sicher wieder. Vielen Dank !

(Translated by Google) We were able to spend a wonderful evening here with friends, enjoying excellent service. An aperitif in the garden was followed by a fantastic meal! Thank you very much. (Original) Durften hier mit Freunden einen wunderbaren Abend mit einem sehr vorzüglichen Service verbringen. Aperitif im Garten und dann ein sehr tolles Menü! Herzlichsten Dank

(Translated by Google) Spectacular. The tartare is among the best ever, excellent service: attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and bilingual. The wine by the glass is good. (Original) Spettacolare. La tartare è tra le migliori di sempre, ottimo servizio, attento, simpatico, competente e bilingue. Vino al bicchiere buono,
