    About this ebook

    "For me, Bolzano - Bozen is a mountain transformed into a city. The moment you move, it changes appearance. You edge forward, and the profile is different, you go back and discover new faces. It speaks different languages. At its heart, it is an actor, enchanting and contradictory, haughty an alluring, warm-hearted and chilly." - R. Messner

    At the Crossroads of Culture
    Bolzano - Bozen, the only city in the world with both a competition in honor of F. Busoni and a house where Mozart slept. An elegant salon where different people meet, an exchange of cultures, music, and performances.

    The central Piazza Walther named for the troubadour Walther von der Vogelweide, one street named for Dante and another for Goethe; a conservatory carrying the name of Monteverdi an Orchestra of Haydn. A trilingual University, and an Academy of Design and a Film School both bilingual. This is what makes Bolzano - Bozen a little big capital of European atmosphere!

    Bolzano - Bozen: The Gateway to the Dolomites
    Bolzano - Bozen lies 265 m above sea level along one of the most critical routes running from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, connecting North and South. It is surrounded on all sides by mountains. Above the city, in the Dolomites, lies the "Rosengarten"- the legendary realm of Laurin, the dwarf king. His enchanted garden glows an unearthly red at twilight.

    This is a guide to Bolzano – Bozen and its neighboring villages: San Genesio, Renon, Colle, Sarentino, Eggental, and Carezza with its lake.

    There are extensive descriptions and photos of the attractions and a comprehensive section on local cuisine and wine.

    It contains many reviews for the best-recommended restaurants that are at the location described.

      Bolzano – Bozen: The Gateway to the Dolomites

      Rosengarten

      Bolzano – Bozen lies 265 m above sea level along one of the most important routes running from the Mediterranean to the North Sea, connecting North and South. It is surrounded on all sides by mountains. Above the city, in the Dolomites, lies the Rosengarten- the  legendary realm of Laurin, the dwarf king. His enchanted garden glows an unearthly red at twilight.

      Mediterranean climate with alpine splendor. With a yearly average high of 16.6°C (62°F) a yearly average low of 6°C (43°F), and no fog, Bolzano – Bozen has a very mild climate.

      In fact, a part of Bolzano – Bozen, the formerly independent town of Gries was a health resort in the last century, beloved by all because of its climate.

      Bolzano – Bozen is the portal to a world without borders, from the green of parks and grapevines to the living rock of the Dolomites. Pink mountains fringed with snow form a backdrop while below lie palms, olive trees, cedars, and magnolias on the slopes of the hills. An elegant frame for the meeting between the fresh northern wind and the radiant Mediterranean sun, a benediction for vines sagging with the weight of bountiful bunches, filled with the flavors of days gone by.

      Bolzano – Bozen: The Countryside in the city

      From Bolzano

      There are over 300 hectares (740 acres) of grapevines within the city limits, a full one seventh of the total area. In the fall, the aroma of freshly crushed grapes wafts through the city from its 27 wineries.

      Bolzano – Bozen: Some history

      The recorded history of Bolzano – Bozen began with the arrival of Roman garrisons in the 1st century BC, although the area had been inhabited at least 2.500 years earlier.

      Today’s town center began 900 years ago and is characterized by Gothic architecture. It was constructed by the bishops of Trento at a key junction between North and South and included an arcaded avenue to display goods, with German-speaking tradesmen on one side and their Italic counterparts on the other.

      Although it was often touched by war, Bolzano – Bozen has preferred peace, favoring first the exchange of merchandise, later languages and customs.

      The wealth that rolled out of the arcades helped the church to erect such artistic monuments as Giottoesque frescoes, a cathedral bell tower designed by
