Thanks to its double perspective, Bolzano is able to mesmerize tourists who come from all over. Its two lifestyles, one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean, combine to make the perfect union, which can be clearly seen in the historic and artistic treasures of this town.
For centuries, Bolzano has been the privileged centre of commercial exchanges between Italy and Germany.
The presence of Central Europe and Mediterranean traditions is most evident in Alto Adige cuisine, as well as in delicacies from Bolzano.
Each season, dishes made with authentic flavours fill the air with their aromas.
Today, the capital of Alto Adige has become a cosmopolitan city that knows how to be lively, cheerful, modern and yet refined all at the same time! We will visit the old town and Castel Roncolo: Piazza Walter (the Town Salon), the cathedral and its Gothic tower, St. Johann Chapel with the Giottesque frescos, the Franciscan Church and the cloister, Piazza Vittoria and its monument, the characteristic Piazza delle Erbe, Via Museo, the Arcades with shops and boutiques. A visit to Castel Roncolo, situated at the entrance of the Val Sarentina which preserves the largest surviving cycle of medieval profane frescos, will conclude the tour.
