Dornbirn: Vorarlberg's Largest City
Dornbirn is the largest city in the Rhine Valley and Vorarlberg's premier shopping destination. A stroll through the charming city center, starting at the market square, offers a glimpse into the numerous brands and fashions available in over 220 shops. There's always something happening in Dornbirn – numerous venues such as the Kulturhaus (cultural center), the trendy Spielboden (theater), the inatura Science Center, and many more offer a diverse and exciting experience. The Vorarlberg Architecture Institute, dedicated to contemporary architecture, is also located in Dornbirn.

The city's culinary scene is incredibly diverse. From trendy award-winning restaurants to cozy, traditional Vorarlberg inns, the range of culinary delights is vast. Hearty, refined, and classic cuisine can be found high above the rooftops of Dornbirn, right in the heart of the city, or along the way.

The city's high quality of life is reflected in its sports and leisure activities: The nearby mountains are perfect for hiking and mountain biking. The romantic forest pool or the architecturally impressive modern public pool, fitness trails, and cycling paths make Dornbirn an active destination.

Late autumn is the perfect time for a city break to Dornbirn – for strolling, indulging in trendy shopping, taking a ride on the Karren cable car, and enjoying a delicious meal. For example, you could visit Dornbirn's local mountain, the Karren, which offers a breathtaking view of the Rhine Valley all the way to Lake Constance.
