See you in Hittisau / Austria.
How to get here
Frauenmuseum Hittisau is located in Hittisau in the Bregenzerwald, a rural but really beautiful region in a tri-border corner between Munich (Germany), Zurich (Switzerland) and Innsbruck (Austria).
Hittisau is a small village with 2000 inhabitants near the Lake Constance. Frauenmuseum Hittisau is Austria’s only women’s museum and the only of its kind in a rural area.
Even if Hittisau is a little further away from big centres, it is still quite easy to reach. We will do our best to pick up most of you in Bregenz, Dornbirn or Oberstaufen.
If you arrive separately, it is usually no problem to reach Hittisau. It is easily accessible by bus from Dornbirn or Bregenz.

The nearest international airports are Zurich (ZRH) and Munich (MUC). Vienna is about 7 hours away from Dornbirn and Bregenz, so not really advisable, unless you want to spend a few days in the amazing capital.
There are smaller airports near Hittisau in Altenrhein, Friedrichshafen, Stuttgart, Memmingen or Innsbruck, but the flights are usually much more expensive. rome2rio.com
