In the 1980s, Hohenems was a gray small town with throughput traffic, then dead in the nineties. But as the Pope and pop goddess Nena know: miracles. The former Jewish quarter was renovated and revitalized, small shops and charming cafes are now inviting you to linger. Formers villagers accommodate cultural institutions such as the Jewish Museum of Hohenems and the Vorarlberg Literature House. And the slipcase.
