German and Italian share the streets in Bolzano, the gateway to the Dolomites where the Alps meet the Mediterranean. South Tyrol's capital pairs apple orchards and vineyards with arcaded medieval lanes, and its museum holds Ötzi, the five-thousand-year-old iceman. Spa hotels here draw on the alpine setting, with mountain-view pools, hay and herb treatments from the local farms, and easy access to the peaks. Strudel and speck, vineyards and via ferratas. Find your sanctuary in Bolzano.
In a charming corner of the city center stands proud a Renaissance castle. Surrounded by four majestic towers Castel Hörtenberg, at a glance, looks out of time, a peaceful and quiet oasis a stone’s throw away from the buzzing city
