Culture everywhere you go

Trauttmansdorff Castle, the former holiday residence of the empress Elisabeth of Austria, is surrounded by flourishing gardens. Stroll through the varied garden landscape spread over twelve hectares. The castle itself is home to the Touriseum, South Tyrol’s Museum of Tourism.

If you walk along the Brandiswaal path and through the Gola Canyon, you can admire impressive, contemporary art along the footpath. Pure pleasure for body and soul!

The centrepiece of the Messner Mountain Museums, the MMM Firmian in Sigmundskron Castle near Bolzano, is also called “the enchanted mountain” by the mountaineer Reinhold Messner. So let yourself be enchanted!

The 5300-year-old glacier mummy “Ötzi” invites you to an interesting expedition at the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano.

The Train World in Partschins/Rabland is the biggest model railway of Italy. Come and discover South Tyrol in miniature or let your children become a train guard!

Around 800 castles and fortresses can be found throughout South Tyrol, and near Bolzano there is even the area with the most castles in Europe.

The wine as a work of art.

With 18,500 hectares, South Tyrol is the largest connected fruit-growing area in Europe. Six billion apples are produced here year after year. Lana is the largest and at the same time one of the oldest fruit-growing communities in the country and therefore predestined for a museum presentation of the topic of fruit-growing.

Experience a virtual flight over South Tyrol -
a great many ecosystems lie side by side in a very small area. The museum tour takes you through the different habitats: from scree slopes in the high mountains to the forest belts in the low mountains to the rivers in the valley floors.

South Tyrol is known for its traditions and we are happy to pass these on. Numerous events give our guests an insight into our world.
