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.

We went to this picturesque city by train from Innsbruck and was most impressed by the amazing scenery. It was a very hot day with deep blue sky and we had a drink in a cafe on the square. We also caught a tram and did a round trip which was a great way to see it and at little cost. Certainly a day and a place to remember and to return to if we are in this area or nearby.
