Author’s recommendation
Do not miss the old town of Bolzano/Bozen with its arcades and the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology with Ötzi. A visit to Sigmundskron Castle, home of the Messner Mountain Museum, is also worthwhile. At Lake Caldaro, the warmest Alpine lake, you can relax and enjoy the local cuisine.
