Vipiteno is the northernmost city in Italy and is sometimes called the "Fugger town" after the Fugger family of Augsburg who ruled here in the Middle Ages.
The historic center is small but nice and creates a cozy atmosphere with small cafés and shops.
Sterzing's landmark, the "Twelve Tower", is also located here.

Historic Center of Vipiteno / Sterzing

Highlight • Historical Site

Vipiteno is always worth a visit. Especially when September is dumpling festival, where there are 70 different types of dumplings on a 300-meter row of tables in the streets.

If you are traveling from or to the south and stop in Sterzing, then the "Black Eagle" is recommended, in which we have eaten several times really well.

For dinner, we went by bike again to the historic old town of Sterzing 👌 an incredibly beautiful town with countless beautiful old houses.
