Bolzano Holidays 2012

Bolzano at a Glance

Bolzano is a mixture of Mediterranean joie de vivre and a sunny climate, picturesque vineyards and majestic Alpine backdrops, romantic villages and urban flair in the buzzing city of Bolzano Bozen. Vineyards extend right into the city, and incredibly, the basin effect of the surrounding mountains means this Alpine city can actually record the hottest temperatures anywhere in Italy during summer, making it perfect for both a winter and summer break.

You'll Love Bolzano if...

• You're looking for a unique destination that fuses cultures with aplomb. Bolzano is essentially a hybrid region where Italian pizazz meets Australian order.
• You want a dynamic holiday destination that comprises great shopping, activities, food and scenic wonders in one place.
• You’re a more active traveller; you can experience the thrill of Alpine scenery, through a vast network of trails for hikers and mountain bikers.

Top Attractions in Bolzano

• The rambling castle, Castel Firmiano, and its grounds are home to the Messner Mountain Museum. Based around man’s relationship with the mountains across all cultures, this insightful museum is configured so that you climb literally hundreds of stairs, giving you the experience of shifting altitudes.
• The star of the Museo Archaeological dell’Alto Adige is Ötzi, the Iceman. The so called Iceman’s clothing and equipment is on display, while his still-frozen body is kept in a separate, temperature-controlled room and can be viewed through a tiny window.
• A 20km long scenic bike path running mostly along the river which connects Bolzano's castles.
• The Strada da Vino, or the wine road. Sample local delicacies and diverse local vintages on the well marked Strada da Vino.

Bolzano Highlights

• Bolzano’s newest architectural masterpiece is the Museion, a funky glass cubelike building on the river that houses the museum of contemporary art. Strangely the modernist design works, both inside and out. There’s a cafe, bookshop and library onsite.
• Fruit market's square is one of the oldest squares of Bozen and now like in the past holds the fruit market.
• Step back into the Habsburg era at this venerable 800 year old inn that serves up hearty portions of traditional dishes, including sauerkraut and sausages cooked in beer. The bar is a dark wood panelled affair, fine for sampling the cloudy, unfiltered beer that’s brewed on the premises in a couple of gleaming copper vats.
• Bolzano's cable cars whisk skiers and walkers into the mountains for some untamed exploration of this stunningly beautiful region.
