South Tyrol became a part of Italy in 1919, when the area south of Brenner was separated from Austria and awarded to Italy. Your typical Italian getaway this isn’t, but that’s exactly why South Tyrol warrants a visit. All other attractions aside, you can have a satisfying getaway in South Tyrol with a driving trip alone. It’s under the helm of Norbert Niederkofler, who was born in South Tyrol and believes in showing off his region’s native ingredients. Our favorites include Castle Tyrol, the ancestral seat of the Counts of Tyrol and home to the South Tyrol Museum of Culture and Provincial History.
