The apartment is located in the city center of Brixen, a small enchanting medieval city in the heart of South Tyrol which is surrounded by the Alps and Dolomites. The cathedral with its 1000 year old cloister and big square, the Hofburg (the former domicile of the archbishops of Tyrol), the parish church and its characteristic “white tower”, the pittoresque quarter “Stufels”, the promenade along the Eisack and the famous Hotel Elephant are only a few of the many worth-seeing spots of the city which are all located in a 500 m radius of our Downtown Hideout.
