Bregenz hotels and hostels
Stop by the tourist office for a list of private rooms (around €30 per person). Prices soar and beds are at a premium during the Bregenzer Festspiele in late July to late August, when it’s highly advisable to book ahead. If Bregenz is booked solid, consider hopping over the border to Lindau in Germany, around 8km away.
