The Bolzano City Guides deal with the questions a first visit throws up: which inn serves the Knödel locals queue for, how to see Ötzi without standing in line, when to ride the Renon cable car and what still happens after dark in a city that goes to bed early. Every guide is a tight, opinionated selection with the reason to go, what to order or look at and one practical tip per place, ready in your browser as soon as you have paid.

The six Bolzano guides
Food guide
25 places
Centuries-old Tyrolean inns, dumplings served in threes, speck and cheese from the market stalls, Lagrein by the glass and a strudel worth the detour.
Things to do guide
24 places
The Ötzi museum without the long wait, castles covered in medieval frescoes, cable cars up to the plateau and the Christmas market at its best.
Family guide
29 places
The iceman every child wants to meet, a mountain playground at 1,200 m, alpacas on a farm, skating on the plateau and inns that welcome kids.
Nightlife guide
23 places
Spritz at the old fish benches, beer brewed on the premises, a serious cocktail bar, live jazz and where the city drinks before the shutters come down.
Day trips guide
26 places
Merano’s spa and promenades, the wine road, abbeys in the Isarco valley and the Dolomites by bus, each with its line and departure time.
Budget guide
27 places
Free museums and frescoed churches, hillside promenades, lunch for under €10 and the guest card that can make trains, buses and the cable car free.

Three places from the guides
Fischbänke
Via Dr. Josef Streiter 28, old town
Medieval marble slabs where fish was once sold now serve as the counter of an open-air wine bar under the arcade. Stand or perch on a stool with a local wine and a bruschetta; from early evening it fills with Bolzano regulars. From the food guide.
Chiesa dei Domenicani
Piazza Domenicani, old town
Plain from outside, but the St John chapel holds a complete fresco cycle by painters from Giotto’s school, made around 1330, and the cloister next door has more. Entry is free and you will often have it to yourself. From the things to do guide.
Kaserhof
Via Geirer 26, Soprabolzano
A working farm above the cable car’s top station with alpacas, llamas, ponies and a café serving cake. On the alpaca walks, booked in advance, every child leads an animal of their own. From the family guide.
Finish the game, open the guide
The World City Trail scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour in Bolzano lead you through the old town. When the last clue is solved, the guides take over: a glass of Lagrein under the arcades, the cable car up to the Renon plateau, a train to Merano or a free museum when the weather turns.
