Streets of Bolzano

Streets of new and strange towns are endlessly fascinating.
We stayed right in the heart of the main shopping area of Bolzano, in the historical centre.

Bikes and pedestrians only here!


Our arcaded street was filled with the brightest and best stores.


I feel right at home here!


A wonderful old-style haberdashery was just under or apartment.


Here is a peep inside - 




Another gorgeous old wool shop and haberdashery.


And of course there is the market.
This one runs every day from early in the morning until evening.







The best way to get around is by bicycle.



The main square with the Duomo and ringed by cafes and restaurants.


But this little gem was down a side street.
Unfortunately we didn't try it.


Some of the streets hint at Bolzano's past as a crossroads in Europe.



Our street where you could almost shake hands with your neighbour across the street!


But wait!
There is another market.
This one is a real local farmer's market, just on Fridays.
Where you can buy cheese direct from the cheesemaker.



And of course the locals do their shopping by bicycle.
