Dornbirn

Located at 437 meters above sea level in the Alpine Rhine Valley, Dornbirn extends across 120 square kilometers near the borders of Switzerland and Germany.

The settlement, first documented in 895 as 'torrin puirron', gained municipal status in 1901 after centuries under Habsburg rule starting from 1380.

The Saturday market in the town square brings together local producers and residents, continuing a tradition of community gatherings and regional commerce.

The city operates an efficient network of regional bus lines and multiple railway stations, connecting residents and visitors to surrounding areas and major destinations.

The Rolls-Royce Museum in Dornbirn maintains the largest collection of these luxury vehicles, displaying models that belonged to notable historical figures.
