Bolzano

Bolzano, considered the gateway to the Dolomites, is located in a broad valley basin surrounded by a magnificient alpine mountain scenary. Being next to Italy’s northern borders, it mesmerizes a Northern European flair with a Mediterranean one and, indeed, both Italian and German are official languages.
Bolzano reflects therefore the meeting of different cultures and combines a cosmopolitan lifestyle with historic heritage.

From its 400 castles to Christmas markets, from its flower festival in spring to Alto Adige Jazz Festival, from its several museums about art, mountains and natural history, Bolzano is a destination to experience.
Furthermore, Bolzano is a fine example of local crafts and traditional high quality costumes featuring unique patterns, as well as an icon in wine production, with its lush vineyards, wine cellars and more than 30 private wineries.

Last but not least, Bolzano is the right destination for sport lovers, who like walking into its green valleys, biking along its 40 km cycle routes, hiking or running.
