Hire a car in Bolzano with Hertz

The Italian city of Bolzano has one of the most dramatic settings of any city in the world, being framed by the majestic mountains of the Alps and the craggy Dolomites. It's at the peak of Northern Italy and has a big Germanic cultural influence like the rest of the South Tyrol. The city is ideal of lovers of the great outdoors and adventurers, as well as being a cosy haven during the Christmas Markets. Car hire in Bolzano is essential in order to take in the beauty of the surrounding forestry and mountains. Hiring a car is readily available from Bolzano Airport.

Visiting Bolzano

Bolzano Airport is relatively near the city centre and on arrival you might head for the town centre for the shopping and restaurants. After this a recommended first excursion is the Funivia Renon cable car for the vast panoramas of the surrounding area. The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is a staple of any visit due to its 3,300 year old inhabitant 'Otzi the Ice Man'. Intrigued? Hiring a car in Bolzano allows you to take in beauty spots Il Salto and Castel Roncolo. The South Tyrol is a beautiful area with some dramatic drives, so we'd encourage you to rent a car in Bolzano.
