Sophisticated Bolzano is the gateway to the Dolomites, the pivot point between Trentino and Alto Adige. It has a fresh Tyrolean feel, very different from cities to the south. Discover Piazza Walther, the ‘drawing room of the town’; the Bolzano Cathedral, an unusual merging of northern and southern styles; the Piazza Del Municipio (Town Hall Square); and the Franciscan Church and Convent. Visit the fascinating archaeology museum to see the preserved Iceman, Ötzi. Finish with a tour of fairytale Castello Roncolo – also called Runkelstein Castle, though Rumpelstiltskin never lived there. Built in 1237, it is famed for its frescos of medieval literary works such as the Legend of King Arthur.
