Bolzano (Bolzano, Bozen - Bozen) is the capital and administrative center of the autonomous province of the same name. The legendary mountaineer Messner Reinhold said about this city:
Bolzano is often called the "gateway to the Dolomites" and it really is. The city lies in a picturesque valley at an altitude of 265 m, framed by three dizzying alpine peaks. The compact historical center of the city seems to have come down from the pastorale of some well-known medieval German artist - it is typically Tyrolean, with really cozy streets for walks.
