Impressions from the city centre of Bozen

Verkehrsamt Bozen - Sergio Buono

In and around Bozen, you can discover many treasures – for culture lovers as well as for nature lovers, for romantics as well as for adventurous people.

Many-faceted Bozen

For the historical centre of Bozen, you should take time and visit it with or without a guide on foot. The numerous churches characterise the city significantly: The cathedral, the Dominican and the Franciscan churches are always worth a visit.

The arcades and other picturesque streets between the fruit market and Waltherplatz Square do not only witness the long history of Bozen as a wealthy trading city. As well, the modern city life is very present. Visiting the museums in Bozen also allows you to combine past and present: The Museum of Archaeology displays the glacier mummy “Ötzi” whereas the Museion impresses with modern and contemporary art.
