DSTNCMP²⁶ IN BRIXEN, SOUTH TYROL

Brixen – City of Culture with History and Vision

Brixen is not only the oldest city in Tyrol but also a vibrant center of cultural diversity. The medieval old town, the imposing cathedral with its baroque cloister, and the former Prince-Bishop's Hofburg ensemble tell of centuries of history.

Today, the city also thrives on contemporary culture – from the international light art festival Water Light Festival to progressive exhibitions in Franzensfeste Fortress.

»The DSTNCMP26 will take place in Brixen, South Tyrol from May 05 - 07, 2026

LIVED HOSPITALITY


In Brixen, hospitality is a lived culture, not just lip service. In the old town, you'll find charming cafés, family-run restaurants, and modern gourmet cuisine where Alpine and Mediterranean influences merge. In the mountain huts, traditional dishes are given a modern twist.


Restaurateurs focus on regional and seasonal products, which simultaneously supports local suppliers and Alpine agriculture. Often, fresh vegetables and fruits come directly from the garden behind the farm or restaurant, which in many cases means that the ingredients have literally traveled zero kilometers.


The use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients is not only beneficial for culinary enjoyment, but also environmentally friendly.


What distinguishes Brixen:

  • an authentic, open welcome culture
  • Hosts with heart from family-run businesses – from hotels to wine shops
  • Cuisine that combines regional quality and creative refinement

Nature and mountain landscape as a stage


An impressive mountain landscape unfolds around the city – with vineyards, alpine meadows, and rugged Dolomite formations. Plose, Brixen's local mountain, can be reached in just a few minutes and offers panoramic views, hiking trails, and retreats for new ideas.


The nature around Brixen offers

  • inspiring tranquility that fosters creative processes.
  • Active spaces for movement, reflection, and encounter.
  • Sustainability in the sense of gentle tourism and mindful use of resources.


Brixen as DSTNCMP venue²⁶


Brixen stands for inspiring spaces – both literally and figuratively. The city creates the perfect connection between focused work, meaningful encounters, and an inspiring environment. Whether in the historic city center, amidst nature, or on the alpine pasture: Brixen opens up space for new perspectives.



South Tyrol – The Destination that Connects


South Tyrol stands for encounter between North and South, between alpine groundedness and Italian lightness. This unique location shapes not only the landscape and cuisine, but also the spirit and attitude: cosmopolitan, multilingual, innovative.


The region is easily accessible, and offers modern infrastructure while also providing ample space for authenticity and exchange at eye level.
