Martinsturm: A Historic Gem of Bregenz

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the Bregenz Main Train Station (Bahnhof Bregenz), exit the station and head southeast towards Bahnhofstraße. Walk straight along Bahnhofstraße for about 500 meters until you reach the intersection with the Wasserburgstraße. Turn left onto Wasserburgstraße and continue straight for another 300 meters. You will soon see the large park area of Stadtgarten. Walk through Stadtgarten towards the lakefront (Bodensee). After enjoying the park, head towards the lake and follow the path along the shoreline for approximately 600 meters until you reach the harbor area. From the harbor, walk up the hill towards the city center, where you will find the iconic Martinsturm located at Martinsgasse 3b. The tower is easily identifiable by its distinctive architecture.

• Public Transport

  From the Bregenz Main Train Station (Bahnhof Bregenz), board the bus number 2 or 3. You can find the bus stops just outside the station. Ride the bus for about 5 minutes and get off at the 'Martinsplatz' stop. From there, walk up to Martinsgasse, where you will find Martinsturm easily recognizable at the address of 3b. The walk from the bus stop to the tower should take around 5 minutes.

• Biking

  If you prefer to bike, rent a bike from one of the local rental shops near the Bregenz Main Train Station. Head towards the lakefront, following the bike paths along the Bodensee.
