Domplatz, dom, and sk. Michael kirche
hundwalder Says: The dom ( cathedral ) dominates old town Bressanone, but the spire of the older kirche ( church ) of sk. Michael is also visible from a great distance. Construction of sk. Michael kirche began about 1100 years ago. In stark contrast to the dom, the architecture of sk....
Gastof Restaurant Haller: Tasty sudtirol food
jessicadf Says: Our friends took us here for a dinner of typical local food... and it was a good choice! An antipasti plate of local cured meats and cheese (the speck in this area is the best I've had anywhere), wine (white) soup, and a plate of assorted starches: Knudel, spinach filled...
Trattoria Fink: Delicious restaurant in downtown Bolzano
jessicadf Says: The food, beer, wine and service were absolutely terrific. Our friend owns the restaurant (Andreas Fink) and made sure we had a delicious and lively evening. He'd put a silly reserved sign on our table, and special notes in the menus for the men. When all was said and done,...
christine.j Says: For exploring Bressanone/Brixen it's best to walk. The old part is off-limits to cars anyway. Many alleys are really narrow, everything is close , so walking is your best choice.
christine.j Says: Bressanone/Brixen is on the main line from Munich - Innsbruck - to Verona. There is even a through- train to Venice once a day. Sometimes there are specials for taking the train to Venice from Munich, so using one of these specials and getting off in Bressanone/Brixen is a...

Don' t go in a restaurant too late
Claudilla Says: This is a tip for those, like me, who forget to look at the clock. Maybe it can happen quite often while you're on holiday... anyway in Bressanone, and SudTirol in general, you can't hope to find a Restaurant's kitchen open after 22. They simply close and offer you what they...
christine.j Says: When I was in Bressanone/Brixen, there were about 2 or 3 more weeks of the hiking season left, depending on the weather. By the condition of some trails you could tell that the season was almost over. Not all trailmarks were still easy to find, some - painted on rocks -had...
christine.j Says: While I was walking near the river, I noticed these signs, warning people of sudden waves.As the signs were up on the path and the water was several meters below, I didn't take them very seriously. But when it had rained for some time, I could watch the water rising. It had...
