It represents the original nucleus of the city and dates back to 1180, the year Bolzano was founded. 300 m long, it was oriented from east to west to be protected from the freezing winds and immediately represented the mercantile soul of the city. The ends of the street were, at the time, closed by two doors; today there are Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza del Municipio. The housing techniques of the traditional portico house are interesting: approximately 4m wide and 50m deep and divided into three internal courtyards and up to three floors underground (the street side). In short, now a symbol of the city.

300 meters long street-Point of Sale, is the heart of the ancient merchant village and still the central shopping street of the city. To make the most of the available space, narrow but very deep and multi-storey buildings were built. There are houses with facades embellished by Erkers (wall transports) and stucco decorations (remember the L’Aquila pharmacy and the Old Town Hall building).

In reality these are two perpendicular streets in the historic center of Bolzano: via dei Portici Minori and Via dei Portici Major. Ancient buildings overlook the two streets. Under the arcades there are numerous shops, restaurants and bars.

What a disappointment to now see our arcades in Bolzano transformed into one of the many Italian and foreign shopping centres. There are all the same brands that we find in Vienna, Munich, Berlin, Madrid, Paris, etc. But where have those beautiful and elegant shops of the historic families of Bolzano gone? I understand that property owners don't care whether the rent is paid by international chain X or Y, but the City should put a stop to it.

Bolzano’s traffic is very Italian, very hectic. Park near the train station, 1.50 euro per hour. 5 minutes walk into the centre. The road is pedestrianised, very busy. Had something to eat and drink on piazza Walter, most restaurants are not open all day and open after 6.

Visited many years ago and now,
Furthermore, the always beautiful porticoes allow you to take a walk sheltered from the sun and rain.
It's a shame for the shops that are brands present throughout Italy.
But this is a problem for all cities

The stores are mostly closed on Sunday so make sure you choose another day to shop in this adorable town.

While we found the city as a whole and this street of shops very beautiful there were numerous scammers accosting people as they walked through the town. They seemed to target those who were alone and did not speak the language well. You had to be very aggressive to get them to leave you alone. They would try to get you to take an item out of their hand to look at an then berate you to pay them for it. During our trip which included Munich, Verona, Venice we never encountered anything of this magnitude. Bolzano officials need to get a better handle on these scammers.

When you visit Merano it's a musst do to walk along this street. Lot's of shops and things to see. I love the fact that there are - unequal to many other cities - still a lot of individual stores and not only the shops you find in every city.

I wanted to rate it a four, except that we go here almost a few times a week. Last vist ( a month) we went 5 to 7 times a week. So really, it is a must do. Shops, restaurants, and bakeries. Expensive to cheap. Also the museum. The Farmers market is on one end and the Utzi museum is on the other. If you havent booked rooms yet, stay nearby, as everything is near this street that you will want to walk to . I see many people think this can be done in under an hour. I say no way. You can go for less time, but you can also spend significant time here. Or, a little, every time you come to do something else. Covered walkways on both sides of the street. NO PROBLEM IN RAIN.
