1 Review by TourRadar travelers“Organisation was excellent. The supplied app was a bit clunky but once its rough edges had been understood it was ok.”

- The Golden Roof in Innsbruck: The famous landmark has now been shaping its home for over 500 years. You should not only look at the 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles, but also at the places underneath - what is a bare bottom doing on the "Goldenes Dachl"?
- South Tyrolean wine and fruit: The mildly sunny yet windy climate makes all the difference - the fruit varieties of apple, pear and apricot thrive particularly well on the alpine southern slopes. But the wine is not to forgotten. Take time for a rest in this special region.
- Trento Domplatz: Watch the people strolling, marvel at the artistically painted houses and take a souvenir photo at the Neptune Fountain - the central square of the northern Italian city invites you to linger.

Innsbruck – Lake Garda (Sportive)

- The Golden Roof in Innsbruck: Emperor Maximilian once enjoyed the view of the city centre and its people from Innsbruck's landmark. Today, it is not only worth looking up at the Golden Roof but also strolling through the lively city centre.
- Magnificent panorama of the Ortler: According to legend, the 3,905-metre-high Ortler is a fossilised giant. But it's not the only one - around 70 other peaks in the mountain massif of the same name pass the 3,000-metre mark. Simply wow!
- The Passer Promenade in Merano: As a health resort, the delightful South Tyrolean town already attracted the nobility to South Tyrol in Empress Sissi's time. Stroll in the footsteps of the Austrian monarch along Merano's most traditional promenade and marvel at the elaborate flora.

- The church tower in the Lake Resia: Around 160 houses once stood on the site, which was flooded in the 1950s to create a reservoir. Today, the church tower of St. Katharina rising out of the water is a reminder of the village.
- Strolling through Laubengasse in Bolzano: Soak up the hustle and bustle of Bolzano's most famous street. Why not order a cappuccino in one of the numerous cafés and really live the Italian "dolcé vita".

- The charm of South Tyrol: A walk through Merano or Bolzano, the fragrant vineyards and apple orchards or the picturesque valleys surrounded by castles and palaces - this region is always worth a trip. When you visit, don't miss out on the culinary delicacies such as Brettljause, Schlutzkrapfen and apple strudel.
- The enchanting Verona: The setting of the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet still shapes the city today - let yourself be inspired by it and visit the world-famous Juliet's balcony. Verona is also home to numerous sights, from the impressive arena to the pretty Piazza delle Erbe.
- The lagoon city of Venice: Hardly anyone can resist the charm of Venice, the buildings, canals, bridges and squares are just too beautiful. St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge are of course a must-see. But don't miss the opportunity to wander through the small alleys, drink a spritz in an inconspicuous piazza and have an espresso in a typical café bar.
