On the waterside promenade of the Isarco river at the entrance to the historic downtown of Bressanone, the venerable ADLER Historic Guesthouse has been hosting guests since the year 1500, as verified by the chronicles. The thick walls and vaulted ceilings still whisper anecdotes on the illustrious guests of yesteryear, including the likes of Emperor Maximilian I or Michel de Montaigne, who of course lacked today’s modern conveniences when they spent the night during their visits to the diocesan town back in the day.
