Find train tickets →Bolzano Train Station (Bolzano Sud exit) → Schwarz Adler Turmhotel (Via Renon stop)
💡 The hotel is 2 mins from the Renon funicular stop. If you're coming from the main station, the local SASA ticket (€1.50) covers bus or funicular. Don't bother with the train for this short hop — the funicular is more scenic.
Bolzano Station → Garni Sirio (Via Mendel stop)
💡 Buy tickets at tabacchi or the newsagent inside the station. Validate in the machine on board straight away – plain-clothes inspectors fine €60.
Bolzano Airport (BZO) → Bolzano Central Station (via Renon)
💡 Validate your ticket in the yellow machine on board or face a €50 fine. A day pass (€5) covers buses and the Renon funicular. The bus drops you at the train station, then it's a 5-min walk to the hotel through Piazza Walther.
Bolzano Central Station → Hotel Reichhalter (via Goethe stop)
💡 Don't bother with the bus for this short hop – it's a flat 5-minute walk. Take it only if you're hauling heavy bags. Buy tickets at the tabacchi in the station. Route 2 runs closer to the hotel door.
