South Tyrolean open-air museum. The outdoor area with the old farmhouses and workshops reflects the everyday life of the peasant population. The Mair am Hof residence shows the stately rooms of the landed gentry and the ethnographic collections.

After seeing the great reviews I ear marked Omkafe for a visit whilst staying in Riva del Garda. The museum upstairs was quite interesting then we ventured downstairs where we were offered an expresso to try. As I drinker of coffee with milk I wasn't sure about the tasting so we opted to go with the Platino beans. Since arriving home the beans have not lasted long as when made to our liking it was simply delicious coffee...our only regret now is not buying a larger supply. They also have lots of gifts , coffee chocolates etc so if you love coffee make sure to drop in.

Meet here the world’s famous chalcolithic ice mummy called "Ötzi, the Iceman" who was found with all his belongings on the Similaun glacier in 1991. Situated in the city center of Bolzano (pedestrian area), the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology displays the oldest wet mummy in a sophisticated ice cell and shows Neolithic craftmanship in his equipment: the world’s most antique clothes and the hunting equipment with the world's oldest fully preserved copper axe.
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is centered on the iceman "Ötzi" that was discovered in the Alps some decades ago. The mummy itself is visible through a window, in the refrigerated cell where the 5000 year old man is kept. All artifacts found with the mummy are here too (clothings, shoes, hat, ax, pouch, knife, bow, quiver and arrows, baskets...) and very good explanations are provided in Italian, German and English of each item. Every artifact or any discovery about Ötzi are put into contest of the people life at that time, so the entire museum tells a fascinating history of 3400 years BC. You cannot take pictures of the mummy, but everything else can be photographed. At the end of the tour, you find a museum shop, with good books about Ötzi.

On its own terms a lovely location. The history of Gabrielle is closely entwined with that period of Italian history and adds real depth to the visit.

The Buonconsiglio Castle is the largest and most important monumental complex of the Trentino Alto Adige region. It was the residence of the prince-bishops of Trento from the 13th century to the end of the 18th century, and is composed of a series of buildings of different eras, enclosed by walls and positioned slightly higher than the city. Castelvecchio is the oldest nucleus, dominated by an imposing cylindrical tower; the Magno Palazzo is the 16th century expansion in the Italian Renaissance-style as commissioned by the Prince-Bishop and Cardinal Bernardo Cles (1485-1539); the Baroque-style Giunta Albertiana dates from the end of the 17th century. At the extreme south of the complex is the Torre Aquila, within which is conserved the famous Cycle of the Months, one of the most fascinating secular pictorial cycles of the late Middle Ages.
My son & I really enjoyed visiting this castle as there are lots of neat sections to visit in the old part. The "newer" parts are interesting as well, & their collection of artifacts & exhibits is impressive. Well worth the reasonable entrance fee. The cafe was also pretty good! Grounds were decorated for the holidays which was also nice. Highly recommended!

We thought we were going into a small exhibit of turn-of-the century photographs and ended up close to three hours in the museum, which showcases everything you would ever want to know about the area and is heavy on local artists from the stone age to today. Exhibits include formal oil paintings, prehistoric and Roman relics, and WWII history as it relates to the Garda region. You can also climb to the very top of the building from where you will have a lovely view of the city and the lake. A very nice museum with plenty of interesting things to see. It has a gift shop with great books. With the exception of some brochures and fliers (and videos running on loops), all the explanations pertaining to the contents are in Italian, so a basic ability to read the language is required if you want to get the most out of it - but not necessary to enjoy this beautiful museum. Don't miss it if you are in Riva for more than one day.

Italy is filled with wonders the rest of the world knows nothing about. The baptistery dates from the 5th century and includes a mosaic of the same date. The ticket, which includes the museum (which we didn’t have time for) is only €4 and well worth it.
