Bolzano, Italy Travel Guide - My Life In Italy

- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Bolzano, Italy is a city in the Italian Alps in the northern region formerly a part of Austria known as Alto Adige, or Südtirol in German, and the German name of the city is Bozen. It's a fun city for a quick visit and to experience this Germanic part of Italy. Bolzano is not only a great place to visit in the springtime but also the winter time. Bolzano / Bozen is famous for its Christmas market that they have every year (which I've also made videos about). But today, I'll be taking you with me through the city and giving you a little tour.

I used to live in Bolzano, I miss Italy so much 🥺😭
I'm also from bolzano
That is not Italy. U miss Austria....
@@claudem7991Why Austria 🇦🇹 then don’t ask for its lands and territories back? The language, the people are mostly from Austria there. People , who live there, may vote on referendum on which territory they want to live: Austria or Italy.
We're thinking about moving to Sudtirol from Stuttgart, Germany. Your video is very helpful. Thank you.
Bellissimo video Rafa, citta della mia fimiglia e mi manca molto, non vedo l'ora di tornare!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Would like to hear more history. Cheers!
Hey there Anna thanks so much for checking out this video. If you're interested in that topic there are a couple of other videos from the time when this was made that have bits and pieces that could be of interest to you. Unfortunately I no longer live there, but if I ever visit, I might have to think about including some more info on history, thanks for the input.
Great video! Probably gonna be spending a year at Bolzano so it’s nice to have a video like this one.
Enjoy your time in Bolzano! What are you planning to do for your year in Bolzano?
Rafael Di Furia
I’ll be AuPairing and learning German and Italian culture.
Leaving in August, can’t wait!
Grandissimo! I love Bolzano! Thanks for making this tour. Just a quick note, Bolzano does indeed keep the vast majority of its taxes, but 10% of most tax revenue actually goes to Rome (as per the 1972 statute), and a little more than that on the imposta sul valore aggiunto.
Just discovered your channel and I really appreciate your humorous, detailed approach to sharing life in Italy. I'm currently brainstorming ideas for a trip to Italy late September with my mother, and part of the plan is to stay 3 nights in Bolzano with little side hops to Merano and maybe Val Gardena. You're giving great context for deciding how to structure the visit.
Hello from CT 😄. Thank you! Bolzano is so pretty! And the gelato look yummy! I'm hungry now 😂. The breads🤤🤤🇮🇹
I look forward to seeing more videos!!! 😄 The views! O my gosh! Love it. It's so beautiful!!!
Yes! Please do a video of the mountains!!
Hey there Sabra, just have to ask, is there any connection with your screen name and a particular prickly fruit?
And haha omg yes the gelato was sooo delicious!
And thank you for your kind words I hope you enjoy the future videos ^_^
@@RafaelDiFuria
Hey Rafael! 😂😂 Sorta I can definitely be prickly when needed haha that's too funny!! An old friend had given me the nickname Sabra from the video games dungeons and dragons, I was 16 at the time and my hair was reddish brown...now it's mostly grey with white... I'm 40.
The gelato that is in the super markets here in the state, similar to the real thing? I tried it once from this place called Rita's and I wasn't impressed with it. But, after seeing yours I am thinking of trying it again but this time getting it from the market.
One more question, have you heard of a last name Tarditi? It was my grandpa's last name until he changed it due to people either misspelling it or mispronouncing it
Thank you! 🇮🇹🇮🇹😄
Loved the video Rafi D! Totally cool! Thanks for posting! -Joe
Hey there Joe! Thanks for coming to check out the video glad you enjoyed it!
Of course there was a gelateria on your favourite path! 😄 Nice vlog!
I find it so funny you always ask for a number of scoops or palline.
Of course there is 😜
And thank you glad you liked it ^_^
How would you normally do it?
Everywhere I’ve been when I only ask for one flavor they always asked me how many scoops I wanted so I’ve just gotten used to saying how many scoops of what flavor I want to just make the interaction faster.
@@RafaelDiFuria I don't know, I usually find gelaterie that use a sort of spatula rather than a scooper. 😅 So I'd usually say the flavours I want and let them balance quantities, whether I choose one, two, or three flavours. Anyway, yummmm.
Beautifully explained, I must say you have done a great job, looking forward to see more videos from you. 👏👍✌
Rafi, such a great video! Would definitely love to see the mountains!
In my video tonight you can see a little bit in Merano, but I may just have to go up in the mountains again to just show the mountain 😁
Wish I was there!
Keep your eyes open for cheap flights! Sometimes there are crazy deals. I know someone who recently flew from the US to Verona for $99.
I hope your wish comes true 😁
thank you. thinking of visiting this summer
Nice and helpful video 😊😍
Hi Rafael, have you been to Bruneck or Campo Tures? We visit this region every year from the USA. Highly recommended in addition to Brixen/Bressanone
I still currently live in Meran(o)
Yes I’ve been to Beixen quite a few times, a cute little town :)
Walther von der Vogelweide was a famous Minnesaenger.
You will have to do a road trip to Bardolino and we can make a video together of Lake Garda.
Haha I need a car first to be able to have a road trip haha
But jokes aside for sure I’ll come out one day!
Did everything work out in the end?
Love your informative videos Rafi! Yes please!, on the Bolzano cable car/ nature video and a Merano video!!👏🏻👏🏻bravo!
Hey there Alison! Thanks for coming to check out another video! I’ve got a couple Merano mountain videos in the snow but maybe it’s time for a video when the mountains are green.
ciao . I love yours video .
I live in Napa _ California ..
22 some years now .
I'm from the valley of TRULLI. south in the heal of the boot .
ostuni -alberobello -locorotondo .
I love Bozan or Bolzano. as I visited ones Merano . I suggest you to go visit APULIA as well .
I personally think ( alto adige Umbria and puglia be among the joel s of Italy .
Cisternino, Gallipoli, Santa Maria di Leuca.
And Tremiti islands!
You should do a guide book on Italian gelaterias
Hmm 🤔 I wonder if anyone would buy it haha 😂
Love your videos 💜I love the South Tyrol area💜 I speak German my Italian is not so good so I was very comfortable visiting this area.
GREAT VOICE.. GRANDE VOCE !
Excellent video and I have subbed to learn more before our visit to Italy. Hey, just a tip, but you should look into a DJI Osmo Pocket when vlogging while walking. The gimbal makes it so much more smooth, its small and can do A LOT. Just a thought as your video is def jumpy. Excellent content!!
Thanks I was actually looking at that camera but unfortunately it has a few issues that wouldn’t work for me, but since filming this video I’ve started filming with a different camera I have. Enjoy your time in Italy and if you ever have any questions about things here feel free to let me know. Also thank you for your input and recommendation 😁
@@RafaelDiFuria avc.comeea,antecipout
Great video 👍
Hey Mubarik thanks for coming to check out the video, glad you enjoyed it 😁
I live 50 min away from bolzano
I love north italy ❤🇮🇹👍👈
Very nice video, but I would like to explain a little better one point you mentioned. It's true that some people really would like to go back to Austria and not be part of Italy anymore (special the old generation), but thanks goodness they represent a very small part of the population. I know it was not easy in the beginning, but now we live all together, and the new generation almost don't care about this anymore. We were able to create a new culture mixing the best from Austria and Italy and now we all enjoy our land witch is consider to be one of the most reaches in all Europe for lifestyle, medicine-hospital, food, respect for the natural landscape ecc... we live all together in harmony and respect.
I'm from this region and I live in Caldaro-Kaltern (perhaps you know my town) and thanks to my German mother and my Italian father, I was able to grow up with 2 mother languages. Sorry I just wanted to make them clear, because sometimes people think that we do not respect each other and I definitely don't want people to belive that. We are italian who speak two languages, but we are all proud to be Alto Atesini or Südtiroler 😉.
Great video! What is the restaurant behind the bakery that you like? Thank you
Ho la vaga impressione che ti piaccia il gelato !! :o))
Hey :) that's where I live and make videos :)
if you are still here and got some time, let's go to the mountains for a small hike and vlog together ;)
Hey there Abid :)
That’s awesome! Ususay when I make videos it’s very last second and when I’m in Bolzano it’s only very short, but let’s see maybe one of these days. And if you ever see me around town, feel free to say hey ^_^
Something about the three languages in South Tyrol?
I'm Italian living in GB since 1971, my father was from Friuli and my mother from Calabria and because of my work activity I have been almost in every region of Italy. I have been in Bolzano a few times and this was the only place in Italy where I felt like a foreigner in fact I did prefer to speak in English rather than in Italian because almost all "bolzanini" prefer to speak in German. As a Regione Autonoma the Trentino Alto Adige have huge financial gains and a strong economy , as far as I am concerned, because of this alluring situation the Altoatesini prefer Italy rather than Austria.
I would buy your gd to gelaterias book. I do make my own also. Especially lavender or thyme
Lavender and thyme sounds yummy!
I want to see Trento!
Me too! When things get better and it's possible to get there I really want to go.
@@RafaelDiFuria I heard it's quite beautiful in a medieval way
Hello! Such nice videos! My husband will move to bolzano on march 2020 he is italian, we are in argentina... We got tired so we decided to leave i really wanted Usa but no luck on the visa lottery yet. Can you give me some advice due you live close to bolzano??? He will go first and then me...
I’ve been thinking about making a video on living in Alto Adige as a foreigner for a while... I’ll need to put some thoughts together but maybe in the not so distant future it might happen. Any other questions you have about living in the region? Maybe I’ll try to do it sooner than later :)
@@RafaelDiFuria thanks for your answer!!!! Well i know it will be a bit hard to start all over there. My big concern is finding an apartment, we can pay like 6 month in advance but no idea of they accept that kind of deal... And how much money he should take to bolzano to be ok until finding a job. Love your english pronunciation is a delight to listen to you!!!
Hey Rafael! What do you do for a job in Italy?
Currently looking for a job haha 😂
I know you moved, but if you're ever going to do a video about Trento I recommend you a visit to the famous Pedavena Brewery.
Aaaaaaahjjjjjhhhhhhhh ICE CREAM SHOULD BE ILLEGAL !! I LOVE THAT (TROPPO FORTE )
GREAT GUY..MY RESPECT 🇮🇹
Another great and informative video. Are you able to tell me if you noticed any plant 🌱-based (vegan) style restaurants or products? Thanks
I am from Bolzano, and I can tell you that although there are no vegan-only restaurants, every restaurant has a special food section for vegans, since it's taking the trend here as well.
Andrew thank you for the info.
Thanks andrew for the input! And yes that’s correct however I’ve noticed a few places that say they have vegan options but include lard... so just be sure to ask. But I know there’s one vegetarian restaurant called Hummus that’s in the center. I’ve never been, but looks like a cool place.
is it cold in winter?
Freeeeeezing in winter and verrrrry hot in summer
Bolzano is warm in Winter, hardly any snow in the city. For Winter you need to take te bus to Val Sarentino, Val Gardena and other places. Not only is Bolzano warm in winter, its very hot in summer. People flee to ritten, kohlern and tschögglbberg(Jenesien) to survive.
You could go to San Genesio
Is Bolzano worth living in for the several months it might take for an Italian-American to go through the process of obtaining his dual citizenship recognition? Or do you think its autonomous government status makes it less suitable for such a process? Thanks for all the videos you make!
Hi, Rafael, thank you for the videos you make. I`ve been thinking about moving to Italy for a while, but I dread the hot weather. That`s why I`m considering moving somewhere north, probably near Bolzano or Trento, hoping that the heat in summer will be more bearable. Could you please tell me what the weather in summer in Alto Adige is? Could someone who doesn`t like heat live there? Is it significantly cooler than in the rest of the country or not? Thank you.
Bolzano
Average temperatures in January (coldest month): -5 °C min/6 °C max
Average temperatures in July (hottest month): 16 °C min/29 °C max
Bolzano is very cold in the winter but also warm and humid in the summer months, so I suggest you move to other towns close to Bolzano.
I think that the biggest and most populated town in Alto Adige/Südtirol with 100% Nordic climatic conditions is Brunico.
Brunico
Average temperatures in January (coldest month): -6 °C min/2 °C max
Average temperatures in July (hottest month): 13 °C min/22 °C max
For ex. Weather in Bolzano for tomorrow, 31st August 2020: 12 °C min/23 °C max
Weather in Brunico for tomorrow, 31st August 2020: 7 °C min/20 °C max
Please make a Video if you go to Udine or Pordenone
Hey Rafael! Thank you so much for this video, very helpful
I'am curious about cost of living in Bolzano. Is it expensive? Rent a room, university, food etc.
In Italian terms it can be quite expensive there, I've heard the university is exceptionally so compared to others in the nation. But regarding cost of living, I'd say close to the cost of Milan depending on where you are in the city.
Kocham bz❤
Trentino Alto Adige is one of the Italian special administrative regions.
It means they get a bit more money from the general taxations, i.e. from all the Italians living in ordinary regions...
You look great in that hat. Francesca
Can I get a well job in USA with an Italian degree?
Hi, I am thinking of an early retirement in Italy. Currently exploring 3 possible locations: Como, Bolzano and Verona. I've been to Como and Verona but have not been to Bolzano yet. What area would you personally recommend?
If you’re looking for an Italian experience Bolzano isn’t the place. But it is nonetheless amazing. Have you considered Lake Garda?
Rafael Di Furia yes, Brescia is one of my favorites but I was also looking at the quality of life, crime level, etc. I speak Italian and German, love both cultures and cuisines...
Rafael Di Furia I’m going to do a 3 week trip in winter if travel restrictions are lifted by then, will stay for a few days in Bolzano and Verona . I already been to garda and como for a week each
Do you still live there
I still live in the region but have never lived in Bolzano ;)
Rafael Di Furia you wanna drive me to the dolomites ill pay £££
Im thinkimg about going wnd of may,
Whats the best place in between innsbruck and bolzano for views and beauty
Im coming from venice thinking getting the train to innsbruck then down to bolzano then garda flying home from verona
MA DAI , PRENDI IL GELATO ANCHE OGGI! FAI IL BRAVO !!
Im struggerlin to find a decent way to see the dolomites coming from verona on train
I will have no car
Where is the closest place i can get to on train just to get a few pics for insta
to get as close as possible you’ll need to go by bus not train and you can get right up as far as some of the villages that are quite close.
But unfortunately I don’t have a specific place that I can recommend from personal experience. I’ve only ever seen them from a distance from the train station in Bolzano but you can only see them off in the distance on a clear day. And with all the cables and everything it doesn’t make for the best photo imho. Or from the outside of the station and standing across the street you might get a slightly better angle... again they’re off in the distance
If you go via Padua you might have more luck
@@RafaelDiFuria have u got insta
@@RafaelDiFuria which towns and how long is the bus journey ill becoming from verona (using as base) at a push i could soend one full day and night
I’m not the right person to ask about that, i would say either look on google or hire a guide ... or someone to do the research for you... and yes I do, all of my contact info is in the more info section under the video
Hi
One question please
do you live in bolzano or not?
I previously lived in Merano, I now live in the Veneto region.

Se fosse stato girato a messina avremmo sentito tre clacson al secondo...
Parli Italiano!?
You gotta fix the text glitches Rafi...it's making me uncomfortable. Looks like some foreign alien language signaled to us from another world.
Just rewatched the video, I didn’t see any glitched text. Where did you see the glitched text? As far as I know it’s only happened in the last video.
@@RafaelDiFuria Right after 2:50 when you say "is thee local counsel"
Thanks for the heads up I completely missed that!
I’m going to look into seeing if there’s anything that can be done to prevent this glitch from coming up in the future. I really appreciate your taking the time to let me know about that!
No problem. I'm watchin out for you Rafi
I Guess people kept looking you strange
I have viewed a few of Rafeal's videos and feel that they are geared for young people traveling on very limited funds. I would like to see more of the places he jabbers about and less of him. How about holding the camera away from you? Slow down in your talking and stop repeating yourself. I only got a few tidbits of information from each of the videos. I would really like to have seen more of the places these videos are about.
Hi Caryn,
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
:)
cmq quel cornetto non si può guardare :P
In my opinion Bolzano is Austria
You may want to check the map 😜
Although on a cultural level I wouldn’t disagree
Well, nobody cares about your senseless opinion. Bolzano, Merano and the rest of Alto Adige are Italy. Like it or not.
I wont go to Italy... i dont like middle east... go to indonesia if you want to see beautiful nature... we have many islands... dont go to middle east... not safe.
Italy isn’t in the Middle East, Italy is in Europe 😉
@@RafaelDiFuria Maybe he was just 200 meters around the railway station. There you may get confused.
I love Italian language.
Are you Italian?
Sounds like you may need to watch a few more of my videos 😉
Very much so like the walking around videos. Can’t wait to see more from you. :)
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to do more so be sure to stay tuned, but I actually did an outdoor video this evening standing and sitting around Merano, no walking though haha
Great narrative but wish you showed more of the city. Trying to decide where to vacation so that would have been helpful. Thank you for your video! PS: I'm quite the burger connoisseur myself😁
So cool :)
Where you going next? Verona? Venice?
Not sure yet, at this moment there’s no budget for any travel haha. But lets see.
I would say Bresanone/Brixen or Trento might be the most likely dude to the cost of getting there from where I live.
What about this area spoke to you rather than other parts of Italy? All of your videos are worth watching, so choose where you want to learn about.
Why do you wear a hat in doors?
Because I was on my way to go outdoors 😜
And there’s nothing better than a hat for a bad hair day haha
@@RafaelDiFuria But you weren't wearing a hat outside in the ideo
😂 fortunately not every day is a bad hair day
The introduction section and the main section of the video were filmed on different days
