Bolzano is the city’s Italian name while Bozen is its German name: it is the
capital of
the multilingual province of Alto Adige/Südtirol. Near Italy’s northern border
with Austria,
the city is a gateway to the Dolomites, the majestic white mountain peaks that
are
part of the Alps. Bolzano is an Italian city with Austrian flair. Its two
lifestyles,
one Northern European and the other more Mediterranean, combine to make the
perfect union,
which can be clearly seen in the historic and artistic treasures of this city.
Bolzano is constantly among the top-ranked cities in Italy when it comes to
quality
of life. It has one of Europe's lowest unemployment rates, excellent services
and a
wonderful landscape. The landscape of the surrounding mountain sides is
characterised by
old wine hamlets and villages nestling amid vineyards watched over by 200
castles, stately
country houses and ruins.
