Top 10 Walking Tours in Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige

December 8, 2021 Madelene Haan

The capital of Italy’s northernmost region of South Tyrol, Bolzano (Bozen in German) has only been Italian since World War I, and its character remains distinctly Germanic. At the center of the town, Piazza Walther is named for a 13th-century German minstrel. The town’s most famous resident, Ötzi the Iceman, dates from about 3300 BC and now rests at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology. The striking new building for Museion, the city’s modern and contemporary art museum, opened in 2008.

There are a few summits that have come to symbolise the word “mountain”. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo would certainly top an imaginary hit list of these. Many people have seen the Tre Cime in illustrations hundreds of times and think that they know them, but the moment you see them "in nature" is a moment not to be forgotten. This proposal is circular and unforgettable hike around the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. Back in the afternoon on the famous and panoramic "Great Dolomites Road".

Inclusions: National Park fees, Bottled water, Tour escort/host, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Round-trip private transfer

The best guided tour I have ever been on was at the Normandy beaches. The tour cost us $550. divided among three of us. This tour of the Dolomites seems to be of equal quality. Good and better than good. BUT is it worth the price mentioned? Only those willing to pay your exhorbitant prices will be able to take the tour...which I would like to do as my father was born in Falcade in the midst of that area. The tour guide may be the nicest most informed person on the face of the earth, but the The Great Dolomites Road tour is way too expensive!

WOW! What to say about these tours except that they are nothing but PHENOMENAL!!! My mother and I took both a wine tour and a cooking class tour with Claudia at Bolzano Street Food Tours, and we enjoyed it so much! Claudia is extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, languages, food, and of course, wine of the region as well as all over Europe! She went above and beyond giving us recommendations in the area and really made the most use of our time in Bolzano. We loved her tours so much, that we even signed up for a THIRD tour on our last day there, which was the street food walking tour. Of course, as expected, this tour was above our expectations. Claudia did a great job making both my mom and I feel comfortable during the tour, and was able to answer all of our questions. Claudia is more than a tour guide...she exuded warm and positive energy, and her passion for her culture created an unforgettable experience, and left us wanting to learn even more! Thank you for such a wonderful weekend Claudia! We hope to meet with you again someday! Love, Ellie and Madonna

Martina was one of the best guides we’ve ever met. She is very knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the history of Bolzano & Tyrol, the wine of the region & the people. We visited two quaint wine bars and tasted 4 wines. We experienced white, red and sparkling wine. We walked around the city center and she pointed out historical monuments. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed Martina so much.

Our guide Marco was wonderful! Since it was my first time doing trekking with a harness/helmet, the 'Via Ferrata' route he chose was at an appropriate level. He was extremely safety conscious and very knowledgeable about the local area. The hike was enjoyable from start to finish (with a great lunch at a gourmet Refugio) and I would highly recommend this activity if you've always wanted to try climbing in the mountains.
