Bolzano is the capital of South Tyrol and is situated in a protected valley basin, surrounded by hilly vineyards. Serving as the gateway to the Dolomites, it impresses with its medieval city center, arcades, numerous museums, promenades, and parks. From Bolzano, you can reach the sun-drenched plateau of Renon in just a few minutes by cable car, from where you can enjoy phenomenal views of the Dolomites with a narrow-gauge railway. The earth pyramids, the pilgrimage church of Maria Assumption, and Collalbo invite you to beautiful excursions amidst the unique nature of South Tyrol. Not far from Bolzano are the municipalities of Appiano and Caldaro on the famous Alto Adige Wine Road. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, they tempt visitors to linger with a good glass of wine throughout the year.
Bolzano and its surroundings offer diverse options for an unforgettable holiday: from winter sports to hiking, cycling tours, and refreshment in the Montiggler and Kalterer See lakes, to cultural and traditional events. Valley and mountain, city and village, as well as vibrant life and pure tranquility come together.
