The past in the present
Bozen: a vacation in a city with stories to tell
Those who listen carefully while they're in Bozen on vacation will hear the city telling its story - of its past as a trading hub, a capital, and a university town, but also of the tales shaping its present. Just as the historic façade of the Eisenhut Boutique Hotel blends seamlessly with its modern interior, you will encounter the contrast between old-town alleyways and contemporary architecture throughout the city. Look forward to discovering Ötzi, the famous man from the ice, as well as traditional events, sporting highlights, and much more - within walking distance or just a short trip away!
Thanks to the Eisenhut Activity Concierge, culture is within easy reach during your holiday in Bozen. We’re happy to organise guided tours that showcase the city from all angles - including from a true local’s perspective. Whether you embark on a journey back to the Stone Age at the Ötzi and Archaeology Museum or marvel at the wonders of the world at the Beekeeping and Natural History Museums, Bozen’s cultural institutions reveal the many facets of this fascinating city. You’ll be surprised by just how diverse "Bozen" can be!
Looking for fun, excitement, and a lively atmosphere? There’s plenty of room for that in Bozen, too. While the Cineplexx cinema lights up the big screen, the exhibition centre showcases the latest trends, and local events - from flower markets to musical performances - bring visitors and locals together. Browse the autumn market, dance at a summer concert by Lake Caldaro, or sip fine wine during the Lorenzinacht. There’s always something happening! And the best part? Most events and entertainment hotspots are just a short walk away.
In Bozen, the mountains are literally within reach, allowing you to swap from city life for nature all year round - either on foot, by bike, or on skis. You also have the chance to be on the other side of the action at top-class sporting events, cheering on your team or favourite ski star from the stands at the FC Südtirol stadium or from the piste sidelines. For example, when the Ski World Cup in Gröden invites the sporting elite.
The fact that cuisine is also culture becomes particularly clear on a holiday in Bozen. Nowhere else do Alpine flavours and Mediterranean influences merge in such a unique way. “Veneziano” meets Gewürztraminer from the Eisacktal Valley, Italian pasta pairs with local venison ragout. The winemakers along the famous Wine Road give their best, as do the chefs who blend South Tyrol and the Mediterranean, tradition and modernity. Taste for yourself and treat your tastebuds on your trip!
