Bolzano is the biggest city in South Tyrol with a population of 105,000 people. The provincial capital is a popular destination all year round, where the Italian and the German culture merge. Points of interest are the Piazza delle Erbe, the arcades, the Walther Square with the Roman/Gothic cathedral and not least the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, where “Ötzi”, the 5,000-year old Iceman is exhibited.

In the municipality of Cornedo the Max Valier Observatory (South Tyrol’s first and only observatory) is awaiting your visit with fascinating views of the sun and hints on how to observe the sky and the South Tyrol Planetarium offers you the chance to admire the infinite universe.
