Ausflugsziele in Vorarlberg

The Vorarlberg World of Museums combines seven museums under one roof.

Commemorating the local Jewish community and their wide-reaching contribution to the development of Vorarlberg and surrounding areas, the Jewish Museum in Hohenems is a regional museum with international flair, evocatively recalling the exemplary history of the Diaspora.

The Alamannen-Museumsdorf Mäder is dedicated to the history and culture of the Alamanni, who immigrated to Vorarlberg in the 2nd half of the 6th century AD at the latest. They subsequently shaped the language, customs and mentality of the region.

The Mittelweiherburg is Vorarlbergs only moated castle.

The Franz Schubert Museum traces the great Viennese composer’s life and work in rooms that were built shortly before his birth.

High above Lake Constance rises "The Meersburg", the landmark of the region. The old Meersburg, the new Meersburg Castle and the excellently preserved town as well as the vineyards around the town make the visit a special experience.

The imposing neo-baroque church building from 1914 with double towers and a mighty dome dominates the townscape and is also called the "Cathedral of the Western Allgäu" because of its size.

This museum houses a permanent collection of works by Vorarlberg artists since the 17th century, and also organises special exhibitions by leading figures in Vorarlberg art history.  

 

Neuschwanstein was opened to the public in 1886, only seven weeks after the death of König Ludwig II. The unsociable king had built the castle to enable him to withdraw from the public eye – perversely, his hideaway has now become a major tourist attraction

The Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, with its attractive, temporary exhibitions of contemporary and modern art, enjoys international renown.
