Bregenz Hafen: Gateway to Lake Constance

Bregenz Hafen is more than just a ferry terminal; it's a vibrant center of activity and a gateway to exploring Lake Constance. The harbor's history stretches back to 1294, with the first recorded mention of a ship landing stage in the area. Over the centuries, it has transformed from a simple jetty into a modern port, adapting to the increasing number of visitors arriving by land and water. The harbor area boasts architectural highlights, including the new port building designed by Nägele, Waibel, Spagolla, Ritsch and Steinmann. Visitors can stroll along the Blumenmolo (Flower Pier), which extends northwards and features a lighthouse at its tip, marking the harbor entrance. The Sunset Steps offer a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sunset over the lake, with views of the Bregenz Seebühne (floating stage), Lindau, and the surrounding Bodensee region. Bregenz Hafen provides access to various activities and destinations. Vorarlberg Lines operates scheduled sailings from the harbor to destinations such as Lindau, Konstanz and Mainau Island. The marina offers mooring for guest yachts and provides facilities for boat owners. The harbor is also conveniently located near the city center, allowing easy access to the Festspiel- and Kunstbezirk (festival and art district) and the Pfänder mountain.
