Bolzano

The Gothic Cathedral in Bolzano, Italy.

"Bolzano is a city in the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region of Italy. The city's Italian-Austrian character, enhanced by the narrow cobblestone streets, Habsburg-era churches and pervasive bilingual signage give it the unique flavour of a city at crossroads between Italian and Austrian cultures. This, and its natural and cultural attractions make it a renowned tourist destination.

The Gothic Cathedral was started in 1184, probably on the foundations of a Roman villa and rebuilt in the 14th Century by architects Martin and Peter Schiche (completed 1382)" – Wikipedia

I am curious, are there any other pictures that I can really grasp the feel of Bolzano? (other than the ones in guide books) and what is near there to visit?

You can do an image search in Google for other pictures of Bolzano. Other places nearby are Castelrotto, an attractive and pictureque little town. You can also cross over to Switzerland and check out St. Moritz.
