We have been in Bolzano now for two nights. This may be our favorite city so far... very pretty with mountains covered in vineyards and Austrian style houses. More than half the people here have German as their first language, and many of the restaurants are German style as well. There are nearly free bikes available for rent, great biking paths around the city, a great open-air vegetable market, and several museums. The first day we got here from Venice, rented bikes, explored the city, and hiked up to one of the local castles. Yesterday we took a cable car ride up to Oberbolzen and explored that area. Today being Sunday, most everything is closed except the museums, so we saw the archeological and natural history museums. The first one has the famous Iceman, "Otzi". That was good as there was an audio guide in English. The second one would have been good except it was only in Italian and German...
Tomorrow we plan to bus up into the mountains and then do a really serious hike up into the Dolomite Alps.
