Holiday in Brunico / Bruneck

Brunico / Bruneck is the main town of the Puster Valley and the fourth largest city in South Tyrol with around 15,000 inhabitants. With its excellent leisure and cultural offerings, Brunico / Bruneck is one of the top holiday destinations in the Alps.

Perched on the hill above the city, the episcopal castle dominates the skyline and will be the site of the fifth "Messner Mountain Museum" of the South Tyrolean mountaineer Reinhold Messner, which will open in the summer of 2010. The city is home to many churches, such as the parish church with a valuable crucifix by Michael Pacher, the Ursuline church, and the four gates of the medieval city wall. The charming old town of Brunico / Bruneck with its beautiful bourgeois houses and arcades invites you to stroll, shop, or linger in one of the cozy restaurants and cafes. First-class hotels can be found both in the city center and in the surrounding area.

The city offers a rich cultural program: The city museum presents an important collection of graphics, and the Museum of Ethnography - an open-air museum - vividly depicts the life and work of the people of the Puster Valley in the past. In the summer, the Alto Adige Jazz Festival and the Old Town Festival take place. A natural attraction of a special kind, and definitely worth a visit in every holiday, are the earth pyramids in Percha.
