Bolzano A Self Guided Dolomite Adventure

Discover Bolzano's enchanting fusion of Italian warmth and Alpine grandeur with our self-guided audio tour app, allowing you to explore South Tyrol's captivating capital at your own pace. Begin in the elegant Piazza Walther where café tables spill beneath the watchful gaze of the medieval poet's statue and the Gothic cathedral's lacy spire reaches toward the encircling Dolomite peaks. Wander through the arcaded lanes of the Via dei Portici where merchants have traded beneath frescoed vaults for over 800 years, their shops now selling everything from speck and strudel to high Alpine fashion. Meet Ötzi the Iceman at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, where this 5,300-year-old mummy discovered frozen in a glacier has rewritten our understanding of prehistoric Europe. Cross the Talvera River to explore the Art Nouveau elegance of Gries, then ascend by cable car to the sunny plateaus of the Renon where traditional farmsteads and earth pyramids reveal the region's geological wonders.
