Taste and Experience the city of Bolzano!
Bolzano (or Bozen in German) has a population of 107.372 and is able to mesmerize tourists who come from all over the world. The combination of its two lifestyles, one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean, makes the perfect union, which can be clearly seen in the historic and artistic treasures of this city.
Bolzano developed in the Middle Ages. Today, it’s the largest city in South Tyrol, where the Italian and the German cultures mix most intensely. The result is a fascinating and extraordinary cultural mix, that is reflected in the language of people, in traffic signs, regional cuisine and of course in the historical and artistic attractions of the city.

Bolzano is to taste
The presence of Central Europe and Mediterranean traditions is most evident in the region’s cuisine, as well as in different delicacies from Bolzano. Each season, dishes made with authentic flavors fill the air with their aromas. Milk, butter, cheeses, mozzarella and yoghurt come directly from the mountain dairy farms, undergoing strict quality controls before arriving on the table. All local products are natural while genetically modified products are banned here. In autumn, the South Tyrolean farmhouses open their doors to offer the guests all typical treats of the season, including chestnuts, grape must, speck and new wine. This tradition is called Törggelen.

Bolzano is to experience
In Bolzano, the cityscape itself also bears witness to history and culture. On the one hand, there is the architecture of the city center, which clearly reminds of the one in the German-speaking parts of Europe. On the other hand, the architecture of the city is reminiscent of a fascist past. This is especially apparent at the Victory Monument. Traces from this period can also be found in the so-called Semirurali Houses, the only houses left over from the late 1930s working-class district.
Bolzano is the city of Ötzi the Iceman and the Museum of Archaeology
Ötzi,
also called the Iceman or the Similaun Man is the well-preserved natural mummy
of a man who lived between 3400 and 3100 BCE. He was found in
September 1991 in the Ötztal Alps. Ötzi and his artefacts have
been exhibited at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy since
1998. Over 5300 years ago, Ötzi was crossing Tisenjoch/Giogo di Tisa, South
Tyrol, where he was murdered and preserved naturally in the ice. He is
therefore older than the Egyptian pyramids und Stonehenge. more
