Welcome to Bolzano
Picture-perfect Bolzano, wedged in the hills just south of the Austrian border, is a singular blend Alpine and Mediterranean cultures. Its tidy old town of portico-lined streets and squares framed by chocolate-box townhouses and churches is a popular spot for cultural and culinary walking tours and market visits paired with cooking lessons. Visitors also use Bolzano as a scenic base for exploring the surrounding Dolomites, where hiking and biking top the to-do list in summer and winter snows attract skiers and snowboarders to its world-class slopes.
