About Dornbirn

Dornbirn is the largest city in Vorarlberg, Austria’s westernmost state, set in the Rhine valley within reach of Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany. It has a strong, export-driven economy and is known for the inatura nature museum, the Rappenloch gorge and the Karren mountain above the town.

Neighbourhoods in Dornbirn

Around the central Marktplatz, the city spreads into districts such as Hatlerdorf, Haselstauden and Oberdorf, blending town and countryside. The Karren cable car links the centre to walking trails with valley-wide views.

Living in Dornbirn

This corner of Austria offers high wages, low unemployment and an Alemannic culture closer to Switzerland than to Vienna. Lake Constance (Bodensee) and the Bregenzerwald mountains are both close, but the prosperity comes with higher living costs and a competitive rental market.
