What to expect
Piazza Walther
Piazza Walther is often defined as the living room of Bolzano given its position and importance. This place hosts the famous Bolzano Christmas Market in winter and numerous other events, such as the Flower Market in spring and the City Festival.
15 minutes
This building represents a meeting point between two cultures, the Italian and the German one. Its architecture is in fact a mix of Romanesque and Gothic elements. The Cathedral is also known for the “Wine Door”, a Gothic portal with depictions of winemakers in typical clothes of the time, considered one of the most beautiful in Tyrol.
20 minutes
Chiesa dei Domenicani
A few meters from the Duomo we find the Dominican Church, but don’t be fooled by the bare facades: inside there is a real treasure! Although this church was sacked and damaged for many centuries, the remaining 14th century frescoes create a real treasure for the city of Bolzano.
15 minutes
Via della Mostra
Via della Mostra is the richest and most elegant street in the city full of sumptuous buildings from the Renaissance period. Via della Nostra dates back to the medieval period and given its central position, many important buildings have been built over many centuries which reflect the typical architecture of the region, with both Italian and Germanic influences.
10 minutes
Piazza del Grano is located in the historic center of Bolzano, between Piazza Walther, via Argentieri and the Portici. The buildings surrounding the square still maintain traces of the original buildings linked to the bishop’s seat.
10 minutes
Via dei Portici
We are now in the most famous and popular street in Bolzano: Via dei Portici. Also known as Laubengasse, represents the original nucleus of Bolzano, founded on the initiative of the prince bishop of Trento in the last decades of the 12th century.
15 minutes
This eighteenth-century building, designed by the Veronese architect Francesco Perotti, hosted the mercantile magistrate for over a century. This special commercial court, established in 1635 by Archduchess Claudia de’ Medici of Austria, was responsible for resolving disputes between merchants during the international fairs in Bolzano. Ticket cost: 7€
60 minutes
Piazza delle Erbe
Piazza delle Erbe has always been the site of a market, the first document attesting to it dates back to 1295 and even today the market is held every day except Saturday afternoon, Sunday and public holidays.
15 minutes
Every year thousands of visitors go to the Archaeological Museum of Bolzano to see Otzi, the oldest natural mummy ever found! Obviously the museum is not entirely dedicated to Ötzi but there are many other really interesting periodic exhibitions that you can see. Ticket cost: 13€
60 minutes
Admission Not Included
Among the numerous castles that can be visited in Bolzano and its surroundings, Castel Mareccio, also called Schloss Maretsch in German, is a unique stop that you absolutely cannot miss.
