What to Look For In Bolzano
If there is a place in this world that gives you a clear reflection of how intercultural exchange can take place, then Bolzano is one. You should look out for the following during your stay here.
- Archaeological Museum: For several Roman artifacts, this is the ideal place to be. A .walk on a rocky Roman road would leave you wondering if what you are seeing is real. Look for the famous ice man whom the locals call ‘Frozen Fritz’. The ice man is more than 5,000 years old and the museum features him and his belongings too.
- Pizzeria 2000: I strongly recommend this place for lunch especially if you want to have a taste of local cuisine. If you were visiting in summer with kids, they would be happy to play in the bouncy castles and other inflatable games. The best solution is to rent a car because you will fall in love with this place and you will want more of it daily during your stay.
- Monumento alla Vittoria: Have a taste of history by visiting the monument built by the fascist regime to honor the victory of the Italian soldiers over the Austria-Hungarian Empire during World War I.
- Dolmite Mountains: The surrounding of Dolomite Mountains like The Garden Valley and a charming small town of Ortise helps you unwind from the city hustle. If you have hired a car at Bolzano Airport, the drive would be easy and quick.
