Meeting point for cultures, people, stiles: Bolzano is a pearl of tranquility in the middle of the Dolomites. One of the sunniest cities in Italy, Bolzano is worth a trip in every season. In spring, to see the apple trees bloom; in summer, for the international dance festival and numerous concerts; in autumn, for the traditional “Törggelen” (chestnuts and new wine); in winter, for the atmosphere of the famous Christmas markets.
If you are in town on business or leisure, for the curiosity of discovering a new place or just to do some shopping, Bolzano offers something for everyone. Be surprised by the city that was founded as “Pons Drusi” in 14 b.C. and has ever since been the connecting point between the North and the South of Europe. Discover the elegant mixture of architectural styles in the streets in the centre of town, the friendliness of Bolzano’s people, the enjoyable rhythm of the province.
Bolzano, gate to the Dolomites, has to be enjoyed without haste and invites you to savour the beautiful and good things in life.
The city is also the ideal starting point for walks in the Dolomites (UNESCO Patrimony), visits to the numerous castles of the area, and excursions to the valleys and farms of South Tyrol.
