Bregenz Festival

If you’d like to book a hotel for the Bregenz Festival, then our hotel in Lindau is perfect for you. That’s because a vacation on Lake Constance can easily be combined with a visit to the Bregenz Festival, a cultural festival held every summer in Bregenz, Austria. From our hotel on Lake Constance, you can reach Bregenz in Vorarlberg in less than half an hour and enjoy its cultural attractions. Our hotel is therefore the ideal starting point for the Bregenz Festival.

As a unique performance venue, the floating stage on Lake Constance is the main attraction of the Bregenz Festival. Thanks to its location and size, it provides the perfect setting for fascinating productions. Typical events include operas, musicals, orchestral concerts, operettas, and theater performances. Visitors can thus choose from an extensive program. Hotels in Bregenz are often fully booked during the Bregenz Festival and the summer season. That’s why our hotel on Lake Constance is the perfect alternative for you. In addition, the Alte Schule is idyllically situated in the old town, so you’ll find plenty of peace and quiet to let the impressions of the cultural events sink in.

In 2027, the festival will take place from July 21 to August 22. You’ll have plenty of time to be enchanted by an exceptionally wonderful performance. Giuseppe Verdi’s three-act opera will be staged on the Bregenz Lake Stage for the second time.

In 2027, the opera will be performed daily from July 21 through August 22. In July, performances begin at 9:15 pm, and in August, they begin at 9 pm. The play runs for approximately 2¼ hours (without an intermission).

By Train
Lindau Station is about an 8-minute walk from our hotel. From there, you can reach Bregenz in about 10 minutes from Lindau’s main station. Every 25 to 30 minutes, S-Bahn Line 1 toward Bludenz Station or the Regional Express will take you safely to Bregenz. From Bregenz Central Station, you can then easily reach the Seebühne in about a 5-minute walk.

By car
If you’re traveling by car, drive from our beautiful island of Lindau across the bridge to the mainland and take the first exit at the roundabout onto Bregenzer Straße/B12. Follow this road across the state border (Bregenzer Straße/B12 becomes Seestraße/B190) until you finally reach Bregenz after 4 kilometers. Here, the parking guidance system will direct you to paid large parking lots, which are no more than a 15-minute walk from the Seebühne. There are also accessible parking spaces directly at the Festspielhaus; unfortunately, however, it is not possible to reserve these.

If the Bregenz Festival program has piqued your interest, we hope you enjoy one of the featured operas and would be delighted to welcome you to our hotel, “Alte Schule,” in Lindau. Experience the magnificent setting of the world-famous Seebühne in Bregenz.

During the 2027 festival season, Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” will be performed. Experience the epitome of romantic opera on beautiful Lake Constance.
