Bolzano is really bound to its culture as the great number of interesting museums in the city, and its surroundings, shows. Among them, we like to mention “Museo Civico”, which encloses the collections about the city history.
Do not miss the opportunity to go to the South Tyrol Archaeological Museum, which is famous for hosting Ötzi, the Similaun mummy found in the border between Italy and Austria. It is also worth visiting the Contemporary Art Museum (Museion) and the Messner Mountain Museum; the latter was founded and arranged by the renowned alpinist Reinhold Messner.
