The eight cities of South Tyrol have preserved their flair over the centuries. The historical town centres with their typical arcaded streets and medieval townhouses, which today house pubs and boutiques, are worth a visit. The traditional Christmas markets in the cities also take place year after year during the Christmas season. Only about 15 km away from us is the medieval town of Bressanone/Brixen.
