Situated towards the confluence of the Rienza and Inarco rivers, Bressanone is a city with an ancient history, the traces of which can still be seen today.
Bressanone is characterized by a number of ancient roads, bridges, colonnades and churches which evoke the flavors of the past. There are also the Cathedral and cloisters, Palazzo Vescovi which now houses the Diocesan Museum and a number of Nativity scenes. The surroundings of the old part of Bressanone invite the tourist to relax and contemplate, to gaze out across a vista of hills, vineyards and orchards.
Bressanone hosts a number of events throughout the year, the most famous of which is the Festa in the Historic Center, Caberet del Teatro in the "Anreiter" cellar, and numerous concerts. Bressanone is also a chosen destination for conferences and symposiums mainly held in the Nikolaus Cusano Academy. Local cuisine, known as "cucina della Valle isarco", will satisfy even the most demanding palates.
