Discovering Bolzano: Old Town and Sights of the Provincial Capital
An excursion to Bolzano introduces a different rhythm to your South Tyrolean holiday: stroll through narrow alleys, admire historic facades, and linger over a coffee in between. The provincial capital combines urban life with an old town that can be discovered step by step.
From Ansitz Montani in Eppan, Bolzano is an ideal destination for those wishing to complement their stay with culture and a city stroll.
Waltherplatz and the Cathedral: A Prelude to Your City Walk
Begin your tour at Waltherplatz with the monument to Walther von der Vogelweide. Right next to it stands the Cathedral of the Assumption. The square and the church are among the prominent landmarks in the centre and provide an excellent starting point for further exploration.
The Bolzano Arcades and the Obstplatz
From here, the walk can be continued to the Arcades (Lauben). The historic Laubengasse is the original heart of the city; arcades and ancient houses make its history visible. Take your time to appreciate the facades and the passages between the alleys.
A stroll through the old town also includes the Obstplatz and Kornplatz. Those travelling without a dense schedule will discover their own favourite views along the way. A visit to a café is ideal for a break – followed perhaps by another detour into the side streets.
