Beautiful mountain setting with an extensive network of hiking trails and several on-mountain lodges to enjoy a meal. The Dolomites views were incredible. 2 different gondolas operate during the summer, allowing you to hike or bike in the higher elevations, or to hike up and...MoreThank you very much for your posting.

History of healing - the Peer collection ,,Small, but sophisticated" was the idea behind this specialized pharmaceutical museum, opened in 2002 at Bressanone in South Tyrol, Italy. The particular attraction of the museum lies in its unique combination of pharmacy, architecture and art. The modern showcases and contemporary art projects harmonize with the panelling in wood from the Renaissance area and the murals dated 1620. A rich collection of plants, animals and minerals coming from the whole world and used during the last four centuries as various remedies constitute the centre of the Peer collection. All the texts, explanations and descriptions avoid the use of technical terms and are suitable also for persons who have no background in the subject. Thanks to the clever didactic system, the museum provides general informations for hurried visitors as well as detailed knowledge for experts.

I know, I know, I shouldn't expect English when I travel to South Tyrol. This little museum has two rooms of non-scary medical devices, and fun little drawers of "natural" medicines (from plants and herbs, to beaver scent glands and rhinoceros horns). Everything is well labelled in Italian and German. There isn't much in the way of gory medical history as seen in medical museums in Ingolstadt, Germany and Chicago, USA. The hours are limited. But if you speak one of the two regional languages and are into medical history, this will be a quick yet insightful stop for you.

Housed in the former Bishop's Palace, you begin with a large collection of miniatures showing biblical scenes with many Nativity scenes. The medieval works of art were great. This was followed by several rooms of just average paintings. The Apartments were also very good although no English captions were available. In fact, there was no English guidebook available.

Il chiostro romantico - gotico, presenta una forma quadrata con un piccolo giardino interno, vi si entra dalla piazza del Duomo, passando attraverso un corridoio con lapidi tombali e resti di affreschi .
Delle venti arcate del chiostro 15 recano affreschi gotici realizzati tra la fine del XIV secolo e tutto il XV da artisti quali Leonardo da Bressanone, Giovanni, Cristoforo ed Erasmo da Brunico, Ruprecht Potsch. Ogni campata si può considerare a sé stante, con temi dettati dai committenti ogni volta diversi.
Sono rimasta molto tempo a rimirare gli affreschi e il luogo denso di phatos.

This was my second visit to Bressanone in 10 years. Our first was with family in 2005. We loved it so much we decided to take friends there in Aug 2015. We stayed at Gruner Baum hotel and enjoyed it immensely. We took advantage of great restaurants and spa retreats in the region. This spot gave us our walking legs back after such a long 3 week journey. So much appreciated !!!!

Il palazzo municipale con i suoi colori caldi ed il tetto con smerli e’ un ottimo sfondo per il mercatino che si svolge nella piazza. Quasi totalmente ristrutturato internamente può essere visitato confidando nella buona volontà degli impiegati . Bello
