Event venues, cultural venues and museums

On this page, you will find an overview of facilities available at a number of cultural venues for people with disabilities:

Bregenzer Festspiele

There are several wheelchair spaces available on the "Seebühne". In this way, the Bregenzer Festspiele enables many visitors with mobility impairments to enjoy a comfortable and unrestricted cultural experience. In the Grand Hall of the "Festspielhaus", the number of wheelchair spaces has also been increased in recent years.

In the "Festspielhaus", lifts, accessible toilet facilities and a tactile guidance system in the foyer help to make attending events more accessible.

A new wireless hearing assistance system with around one hundred receivers is available to visitors at the Festspielhaus venues – from the "Seebühne" and the Grand Hall to the "Werkstattbühne" and the "Seestudio".

Tickets can be booked via the accessible online shop, by telephone or in person with personal assistance.
