Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: After you clear customs and collect your luggage, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 — whichever matches your flight. You'll spot them holding a name board with your details. From there, it's a short walk to your vehicle parked nearby. No queues, no confusion, no hunting for a taxi rank.

The Route: Your driver heads east from Zurich Airport on the A1 motorway through Winterthur and St. Gallen, then continues on the A1 toward the Austrian border. After crossing into Austria near St. Margrethen, the route follows the shore of Lake Constance for the final stretch into Bregenz. The approach from the east offers sweeping views across the Bodensee, with Bregenz's waterfront festival stage visible from a distance.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 1h 25m. The A1 eastbound is generally fast. The St. Gallen to Austrian border section can see moderate traffic during morning rush hours. The Swiss-Austrian border crossing at St. Margrethen is usually quick but may involve brief checks.

Bregenz: What Awaits You

Bregenz, the capital of Austria's westernmost state Vorarlberg, is best known for the Bregenz Festival (Bregenzer Festspiele) — a world-renowned summer opera and music festival staged on the largest floating stage in the world, set dramatically on Lake Constance. The Pfänder mountain (1,064 m), reached by a cable car from the town centre, offers one of the finest panoramic viewpoints on the entire lake, stretching across the water to the Swiss and German shores. The Kunsthaus Bregenz (KUB), designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor, is one of Europe's most acclaimed contemporary art galleries — its etched-glass facade glows like a lantern at night. The upper town (Oberstadt) retains its medieval character with narrow lanes and the Martinsturm, a tower topped by the largest onion dome in Central Europe. Bregenz also serves as a gateway to the Bregenzerwald, a region of traditional wooden architecture, hiking, and cheese-making traditions.
