With a population of just 35,113, Dornbirn is the largest city in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, but don't let that fool you - this Alpine outpost is hardly a buzzing metropolis. The former textile hub has diversified its economy, but bureaucracy remains a persistent headache for residents. And while the natural setting is picturesque, the chilly climate can be a shock for newcomers. Overall, Dornbirn is best suited for those seeking a quiet, provincial lifestyle in the heart of the Austrian Alps.
