Glurns is located at 907 m of altitude in Vinschgau at the entrance of Münstertal Valley. The worth-seeing historical centre of Glurns is surrounded by completely intact city walls. The town is characterised by artfully painted houses and noble mansions, as well as by the popular shopping street under the arcades. If you enter the city through one of the three mighty gate towers, you will surely be impressed by the embrasures and the many elaborate defence systems.

The charming city with medieval flair has not very much changed since the 16th century. Glurns had once been a flourishing centre of commerce. The city has profited a lot of road fees and passing dealers were obliged to offer their products for sale on site.

Today, Glurns is a famous destination for excursions. Time and time again, the city’s cultural treasures have been serving as film sets. The countless sights of the smallest city in South Tyrol can best be discovered during a guided city tour that can be booked in the tourist office.
