Innsbruck to Vipiteno and Brixen: Private day trip

Brixen/Bressanone is the third largest city and the oldest in Tyrol. It’s located in a broad valley beneath the Dolomites and offers 300 sunny days per year. Due to its close proximity to the mountains, Bressanone has become a popular winter sports resort. Bressanone’s romantic old town is based around the Piazza Duomo. An ancient marble pillar erected to commemorate the city’s first thousand years dominates the square. The Church of St. Michael, also located in old town, is a Baroque cathedral containing one of the largest Alpine frescoes from the 14th-16th centuries. The Cathedral of Brixen is also an important town monument worth visiting. This Baroque cathedral has two towers and is considered a masterpiece of priceless artistic value. Located near Bressanone is the Augustinian Abbey of Neustift, one of the most important monasteries in Tyrol. Make a stop at the famous Abbey after marveling at the range of historical buildings that Bressanone offers.
