Bregenzer Oberstadt

The medieval core of Bregenz, set on a rise above the lower town and the lake — the oldest part of the settlement, with preserved sections of the city walls and a gateway. You reach it by walking uphill from the centre, and it is the quietest part of the city: instead of a busy waterfront, you find narrow streets and a handful of inns. Every walk through old Bregenz begins and ends here.
