Exploring Bruneck
AN URBAN VIBE IN THE MAIN LOCALITY OF THE PUSTERTAL
The small, idyllic alpine city of Bruneck is the main locality of the Pustertal and has a lot to offer. It’s a true experience to walk through the narrow streets, visit the small, local boutiques, try South Tyrolean dishes, or enjoy an Italian coffee or aperitif. In winter, the center of Bruneck is turned into a fairground filled with treats and handicrafts because of the traditional Christmas market. And from a cultural point of view, Bruneck has a lot to offer, too, thanks to its monuments and museums. Find out more in our Top 3!
