How to book a taxi in Bressanone
Updated: July 12, 2026 · Province of BZ
To book a taxi in Bressanone, call the radio taxi at 0472 835666. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Bressanone (Brixen), in the heart of the Isarco Valley, is one of the oldest towns in South Tyrol and runs its taxi service through a single dispatch center active 24 hours a day, born from an agreement between the Municipality of Bressanone and the Municipality of Varna. To call a taxi, dial the dispatch center's number, 0472 835666, valid both in town and in the nearby municipality of Varna, or contact authorized operators directly, such as Taxi Ossi or SüdCab Taxi. In the town center, taxis are usually found at the taxi rank in Piazzale della Stazione, also a reference point for those arriving by train from Bolzano, Fortezza, or the Val Pusteria. Unlike Bolzano and Merano, Uber is not currently active in Bressanone, nor are the main booking apps such as itTaxi, FreeNow, or Alto Adige Taxi Südtirol, so it's best to rely on a direct phone call. During peak season - the Christmas market, the ski season on the Plose, or events at the Cathedral - it's advisable to book your ride somewhat in advance.

Practical tips
- For the Plose (the cable car for skiing and hiking), arrange a meeting point with the driver at the valley station in Sant'Andrea, a convenient alternative to parking at altitude.
- During the Bressanone Christmas Market and peak-season weekends, demand for taxis rises sharply: book your ride in advance, especially for the evening return trip.
- The main taxi rank is in Piazzale della Stazione, convenient for those arriving by train from Bolzano, Fortezza, or the Val Pusteria.
- The historic center around the Cathedral, the cloister, and the Portici arcades is largely pedestrianized: if your hotel or restaurant is located there, give the driver the exact address, and they will know the nearest permitted access point.
- For Bolzano airport (about 40 km, 40-50 minutes) there is no fixed agreed fare: always ask for an estimate by phone before setting off, or consider the Bressanone-Bolzano train as an alternative.
