I’m
living in Bolzano already for 5 months now. First of all it’s one
of the best places ever.
It
doesn’t matter where you go here, you always see the mountains
in the background. Sometimes I still have to stop for a second and
just stare at the beauty, it doesn’t matter if I’m with my bike
or just walking around.
Second
of all, the city isn’t so big, but has a lot of nice places which I
mostly discovered with my old flatmate. Actually she showed me half
of the places because she loved walking
around the streets, the city center and the mountains. So, I would
say that she knows nearly every part of Bolzano. Thank you Kathuska!
1st
place – Guntschnapromenade¹
This
promenade is in Gries, one of the most expensive parts of Bolzano and
one of the most beautiful places! We always used to only walk to the
first benches of this promenade which takes maybe 10 minutes. There
you can sit and watch the sunrise or the sunset – depends how
motivated you are to wake up in the morning. I always recommend to
carry food and beverages with you because food makes everything
better! ;) Especially chocolate…
2nd
place – Talvera²
Talvera
is the green part next to the river “Talvera” where people
usually sit all day long even when it’s at least a little bit
sunny. When we go there, we usually take our guitars, food and drinks
with us and just relax, listen to music and play games. And to be
mentioned, all of the old volunteers, who have already experienced
one summer here, are really enthusiastic when it comes to this place
because they used to watch the sunset every evening.
3rd place – strange street near to my home³
3rd place – strange street near to my home³
Actually
it’s just a street, really small and less traffic. But I used to go
there with my old flatmates, sit on the walls drink hot chocolate or
hot wine and talk. And a small but important detail is that this
street is surrounded by vineyards which don’t look so incredible
during the winter, but if you’re capable to imagine this in summer,
you feel like in heaven. So, if you once visit Bolzano, or if you’re
lucky enough to do your EVS here, you should definitely go to these
places and feel the spirit!
