Bolzano (BZ) - Alto Adige Square - Walther Square - Trentino-Alto Adige

The shops in downtown Bolzano combine historic boutiques in the city center's arcades with the modern WaltherPark, a new shopping hub between Piazza Alto Adige and the train station. In 1902, Piazza Walther hosted the first "South Tyrolean Symphonic Concert" with 40 local musicians in front of the cathedral, a precursor to the summer festival "Bolzano Festival Bozen."... #tuttitaly

Position📍

Bolzano, a splendid town in South Tyrol, rises in a valley at the confluence of the Isarco, Adige, and Talvera rivers, surrounded by the Dolomite peaks of Sciliar and Catinaccio.

Winter is the ideal time to visit Bolzano. From late November to Epiphany, you'll find the Christmas Market (Der Bozner Christkindlmarkt), which draws thousands of visitors to the city. The Christmas carols in the background add magic to the already suggestive atmosphere.

Piazza delle Erbe, famous for the eighteenth-century fountain of Neptune, is the commercial heart of Bolzano. Fruits and vegetables are sold here. To do some shopping instead, you must take Via dei Portici, overlooked by several valuable 15th-century buildings, including the Mercantile Palace and the Old Town Hall, the seat of the city's Historical Archives.

You cannot miss a visit to the Cathedral of Bolzano, which stands out for its bell tower, 62 m high.

The Cathedral is in Romanesque-Gothic style and is distinguished by its red and yellow marble facade.

Typical meal

When you visit Bolzano, I suggest you taste the most famous South Tyrolean dish: canederli. These are sizeable stale bread dumplings that can be served in the sweet or savory variant.
