Bolzano, Italy
Bolzano is smack dab in the middle of the Dolomite mountains, just south of the Austria border and alpine Brenner Pass. I’ve visited here in the heat of the summer and in the cold of the winter and enjoyed both adventures. Last month, we visited during the Christmas Market season, and even with COVID-19 protocols in place, it was as welcoming as ever. Lots of snow was an extra bonus for us Floridians!
