Holidays and Short-Breaks in Bregenz (Lake Constance / Bodensee), Austria,
visiting the world-renowned Bregenz Opera Festival.
Bregenz is a small but bustling and cosmopolitan city located on the shores of Lake Constance at the most westerly point of Austria, bordering Germany to the north (Lindau) and Switzerland and the Alps to the south.
Bregenz is the home to the world renowned Bregenz Festival held in July and August each year. Opera performances are held on the world’s largest floating stage at the lakeside. (Pictured opposite - part of the set for Rigoletto 2021).
Apart from the main Opera, The Festival includes Orchestral Concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, performances of other Operas and dramas as well as smaller informal events and workshops.
For summer 2023 the main production will be Madama Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini.
For summer 2023 we will be offering independent tailor-made holidays and short breaks in Bregenz, to include tickets to the Opera.
A stay in Bregenz can be combined with one of our other holidays if desired.
Lake Constance (known as Bodensee in German) is a 63km long lake that borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Ringed by pretty resort towns, it is a summer destination for sailing, windsurfing and swimming. The Bodensee cycle path encircles the entire lake in about 260km.
The Austrian city of Bregenz is the capital of the Austrian province of Voralberg. It is a small but cosmopolitan city with a regular population of about 30,000 inhabitants. In July and August each year visitors flock to Bregenz to visit the world renowned Bregenz Opera Festival.
Opera performances of the highest standard are given on the largest floating stage in Europe on the shore of Lake Constance. In July and August 2023 the Bregenz Festival will feature a full-scale production of Puccini's Opera Madama Butterfly, one of opera’s most enduring tales of unrequited love. Puccini's poignant score follos the tragic tale of Cio Cio San, a young Japanese girl who falls in love with American naval officer Pinkerton, with devastating consequences.
The Festival also includes orchestral concerts by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; and additional Opera performances of Ernani by Verdi and Werther by Massenet plus drama, workshops and chambers concerts. For full information please contact us.
There is a good range of quality hotels, guest houses and self-catering accommodation in Bregenz, but being a small city the accommodation in Bregenz fills up quickly during the Festival weeks.

The nearby town of Lindau, just 6km from Bregenz, and the wider Bregenzerwald region offer an extended selection of quality additional accommodation with good public transport links.
At the time of enquiry we will check availability of accommodation for you and provide details of the best options available.
Our holidays and short-breaks in Bregenz can be taken in July and August each year and are individually tailored to your own preferences and requirements.

We want you to be able to book with confidence. Whilst we very much hope that everything will go ahead as planned, we are in fairly uncertain times, so it is worth considering the following:
With this in mind, we would advise ensuring that your travel insurance is adequate to claim for any unrecoverable losses that may be incurred in the event that you are forced to cancel all or part of your trip, especially with regard to enforced Covid restrictions by governments, transport operators or suppliers that are out of our control. In the event of unavoidable cancellation we would do all we can to provide documentation to your insurers to support any claim.
