"Bolzano's dolce vita" is an intoxicating blend of German thoroughness and Italian charm.

No summer in the city without top-class concerts and no summer without dance fever, for young and old.
Every year, the Bolzano Summer invites you to the South Tyrol Jazz Festival, the Festival Dance Bolzano and the Bolzano Festival Bolzano.

Jazz music can be experienced in private parks and public squares, dance performances make their way into the stores of the center, classical music resounds in the theater, but also in the open air. A continuous and lively encounter of the city with its guests, which makes every event an authentic and unique experience for the visitor.

Bolzano is also the ideal starting point to explore the surrounding area.
Fascinating contrasts characterize the cityscape and landscape. Vineyards thrive on the fertile slopes and in some cases reach as far as the city center. In contrast, the view of the nearby Dolomites and the Catinaccio opens up in the background. Three cable cars connect Bolzano with the surrounding high plateaus of Kohlern, Jenesien and Ritten, where a multitude of hiking trails and cozy refreshment stops await nature lovers.

But the provincial capital can also be explored on two wheels on about 40 km of inner-city bike paths. Starting from the central Waltherplatz, you can go to the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology with the famous glacier mummy Ötzi, to the Mercantile Museum under the arcades, to the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, to the Victory Monument with the documentary exhibition "BZ '18-'45", to Runkelstein Castle, Bilderburg Castle or to the MMM Messner Mountain Museum Firmian. For the more athletic, it then goes beyond the city limits. The family-friendly bike path network in South Tyrol extends over a total length of about 400 km.
