Journey along the Wine Road

Before we leave, we still have time to climb the largest high-mountain meadow in Europe, Alpe di Susi. The view of the Sassolungo massif in the background and the picturesque barns in the foreground can often be seen on Internet sites and in the Instagram feeds of bloggers. We walk to the cable car, which will take us straight to our destination. We walk there for a while and head back.

We go back to the hotel for a while - we make a checkout and load into the car. Goodbye Dolomites!

From Bolzano, Verona can be reached in a breeze by freeway, but you can also take a secondary road that runs among the vineyards. Appiano, Caldaro, Tramin... Stop at two or three wineries, taste the best South Tyrolean wines and buy a couple of bottles, especially the ones you like. Why not!

It's lunch time. In Italy, restaurants are strictly scheduled, and if we don't want to stay hungry until the evening or settle for a "panini" at the gas station, we have to eat now. Especially since there are plenty of restaurants on the Wine Road.

A hotel with a garage in the heart of Verona, a stone's throw from the Arena and the main shopping street, Via Mazzini. Just what you need for exploring the city and shopping! Let's rest for a while and go for a walk.

We'll leave the sightseeing for tomorrow. For now you can just wander around the main streets and squares. And after seven o'clock we can already look for a suitable restaurant for dinner.

What about Mediterranean cuisine? The sea is only a couple of hours away from Verona, so the fish and seafood are fresh. A warm octopus salad, spaghetti "vongole" and a bottle of "soave" will be just right!
