Historic Area sights in Austria

1. Römerhofgasse

   • Kufstein, Austria
   • Sights › Historic area

   A classic saunter leads along gingerbready Römerhofgasse, a reconstructed medieval lane that looks fresh-minted for a Disney film set with its overhanging arches, lanterns and frescoed facades. Even the crowds and souvenir kitsch – marmot ointment, Dirndls, strapping Lederhosen, you name it – detract little from its appeal.

2. Oberstadt

   • Bregenz, Austria
   • Sights › Historic area

   Slung high above the lake is the Oberstadt, Bregenz’ tiny old town of winding streets, candy-coloured houses and flowery gardens. It’s still enclosed by defensive walls and the sturdy Martinstor (St Martin’s Gate), guarded by a grotesque mummified shark.
