Interesting to see that, just like nearby Dornbirn, the market square used to be open to cars and is now a pedestrian zone. I live nearby and the town looks pretty similar nowadays, just a tad bigger with more apartment buildings and less houses.
Oh, most current inner-city pedestrian zones once (not that long ago) were used by cars and many squares were parking lots. I'd argue that changing them improved the place, though…
So, you're from Dornbirn or any other place nearby? If you'd let me know, I'll check the other Vorarlberg postcards…

Im from Hohenems! It also has a medieval old town and a castle ruin overlooking it. Definitely could be some postcards around.
Fully agree on the pedestrian zones. Hohenems still has its old town open to cars and it's much worse for it.
Ah, that's even better--I also have a few from Hohenems, and I'll post them tomorrow!
The old town definitely has a more charming appearance
And, as always, cars looked better, too!
