This pretty town's position between the Italian-speaking Trentino region, and a German-language speaking South Tyrol has ensured a true mix of cultures and landscapes accumulating in the Alpine architecture and Austrian cuisine which characterise Bolzano. Treasures include the Duomo, the Franciscan Church, the Scaligero Castle, a civic museum, and the archaeological collection.
