Planning a Trip

Getting There -- Dornbirn is an express stop on the rail lines connecting Innsbruck with Bregenz. Trains, both local and express, arrive from either direction at 30-minute intervals throughout the day. For rail information, contact tel. 05/1717 (www.oebb.at). It's easier to get here by train, but there's also a bus that travels from the railway station at Bregenz to Dornbirn about nine times throughout the day (trip time: 26 min.).

If you're driving from Bregenz, head south along the A14 until you reach the signposted junction with Route 190, where you'll head east for Dornbirn.

Visitor Information -- There's a tourist office (tel. 05572/22188) in the center at Rathausplatz 1. It's open year-round Monday to Friday 9am to noon and 1 to 6pm, Saturday 9am to noon.
