City Break in Brixen: Where History Holds Court. And You Are Invited.

Some cities grow old; Brixen matures. A thousand years rest with effortless dignity in the Cathedral and Hofburg Palace, while arcades, stages and museums beckon between them, and the mountains begin just beyond the rooftops. Best of all: from the Lasserhaus, everything is only a few steps away. Where to first?

Cathedral & Hofburg Palace: three hundred steps, a thousand years

It takes barely a moment’s walk from our front door to the Cathedral of Brixen: three hundred metres, and you are standing before sacred architecture of international renown. The Hofburg — stands right beside it – once the seat of the prince-bishops, today a house full of remarkable things. And if you like, take in the Pharmacy Museum too; here as well, the past has its curiosities waiting.

The arcades: shop windows with a history

What takes your fancy: crafts, fashion, beautiful things for home? Beneath Brixen’s arcades, 200 metres from your room, boutique follows boutique. You do not simply go shopping here; you find treasures.

 

Hiking: the mountain calls, quietly but insistently

The Plose is Brixen’s local mountain and a gentle temptation: trails for every level of fitness, views to inspire every kind of wonder. And in the evening, the cable car carries you back towards aperitivo.

Mountain biking: slow down or miss the view

For those who would rather earn their elevation metres by pedal power, the Plose mountain trails demand strong legs and stronger resolve. Do not tell anyone, but an e-bike is no disgrace. It is simply clever. That leaves you with more energy for taking in the view.

Wellness: sweat first, then float away

Our Finnish sauna and whirlpool await on the first floor, open daily from 2 to 7 p.m. Bathrobes and slippers are provided. If you are craving more water, you can conveniently add a package for Acquarena, Brixen’s public swimming pool.

Wine & gourmet: the city of vineyards sets the table

Vines grow around Brixen, and their harvest ends up in glasses across the town. Add South Tyrolean classics made with produce from local farms at Alter Schlachthof, plus easy dishes and aperitivo at the Viertel Bar – both part of our Viertel family. Good things are never far away here.

Events: Brixen’s packed calendar

Concerts, markets, festivals – the episcopal city fills its year with them wholeheartedly. And here at the Lasserhaus itself, ‘Lasser Crossing’ invites you to meet artists and engage with art.
