About Bressanone-Brixen
Bressanone (“Brixen” in German) is a beautiful small town located in the heart of South Tyrol (in northern Italy), distinguished by a mediaeval Gothic architecture. Bressanone is situated in a wide valley basin where the Eisack and Reinz rivers meet. It is the oldest town in the province, which served as a relaxing stopover for emperors on their travels. The mild climate of the Isarco valley helps vineyards and fruit orchards flourish, and when you travel just beyond the city you will encounter georgeous vistas and refreshing experiences in the world of nature.
