Brixen, the oldest town in South Tyrol

The oldest town in South Tyrol is Brixen. It is located at the bank of the Rienza River and surrounded by chestnut woods, orchards and vineyards.

In Brixen you feel like a time traveller. The monuments, churches and streets take you on a trip through the last centuries! By the way, Brixen is the city where the Pope spends his summer holidays!

The cuisine in Brixen is very traditional. One of those traditional meals is the "Törggelen". In autumn you can eat the roasted chestnuts in many restaurants.

From the centre of Brixen, you can easily reach the skiing resort Plose. From here you have a breathtaking view over the city.

If you are looking for adrenaline you can do paragliding. If, instead, you are more the relaxed type, visit the Aquarena. It's a wellness center with swimming-pools and saunas, whirlpools and a restaurant.
