Bressanone (Brixen in German) holds the distinction of being the oldest city in Tyrol, with over 1,000 years of history evident in its well-preserved medieval architecture. The imposing cathedral with its distinctive twin towers dominates the historic center, while the bishop's palace and cloisters showcase centuries of ecclesiastical power. This charming city combines rich cultural heritage with excellent access to mountain adventures, from gentle walks along the Eisack River to challenging hikes on the Plose plateau. The surrounding valleys offer some of the most pristine hiking in South Tyrol.
