  • Bolzano is easily reached by train from Brennero, Austria, and Germany in the north and Trento and Verona is the south. When you arrive at the train station, you are within walking distance to the major sites like Piazza Walther and the Duomo. The castles require additional walking. Buses may serve those places, but I'm not sure. There are parks near the train station where you can relax.

    Bolzano/Bozen is perfect to walk - it is absolutely flat and so walking is very easy! Since it is surrounded by mountains it is difficult to walk up there - but then they do have buses and funiculars to get to the surrounding castles.

    Just be sure to wear good walking shoes, because walking on the pavement - even if it is flat - is quite tiresome to your feet!

    Bozen/Bolzano has a train station that connects the city with all major cities in Italy. There are 3 tracks and there are trains to Meran, but also international trains to Munich or other places. In the entrance hall you have ticket counters.

    The bus station is right next to the train station and the Bahnhofstrasse leads directly into the center of Bozen.

    One of the first sights in Bozen/Bolzano was this bicycle rent station not far away from the central train / bus station. My first thought was that I had to take a picture for my VT friend Nemorino, and so I did!

    Bozen seems to be very bicycle friendly - there are numerous tours offered by the tourist office, so do check them out! On our way from the river back to town we even passed a bicycle counting station - around 2 p.m. there had already been more than 3000 bike passing this station on that particular day!!!

    WOW!

    Since we stayed in Nova Levante/Welschnofen in the Dolomites, we took a bus to Bolzano. It only took half an hour - through a stunning landscape, so this was a real treat!

    The bus station is right next to the train station and not far from the center of Bolzano.

    We had obtained a weekly pass for public transportation in the Bolzano region (for incredible 8 €), so we only had to punch our ticket in the bus and off we went!

    The best way for getting from one valley to another is putting your skis on and go on the Sella Ronda route.

  • In wintertime there is a bus stop directly in front of Hotel Portillo. So you don't have to drive with your own car during your stay. For the bus you get your free ticket from the Hotel!

  • There's an airport but I never used it; I usually drive there from Milan (3 hours ride). The motorway has two exits dedicated to Bozen ... just choose the one you prefer, the city is not as big as you might think :-)

  • This trip to Italy i travelled by bus. Cant say i really liked it, i do prefer train or car or airplane.
    Although the drivers were very nice.
    But the trip itself was sometimes freighting cuz i was sitting in the back of the bus , saw many cars and other vehicles lying down in some roads below!
    Coming from Holland-Germany and Austria,we used the Brennerpas.
