Clear comparison

Bolzano

Autonomous Province of Bolzano · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Access to the outdoor market chalets is free. Budget separately for purchases and refreshments; the optional Archaeology Museum has its own admission ticket and is not required to visit the market.
Getting there
Leave Bolzano station and follow Viale della Stazione towards Piazza Walther: allow about two minutes on foot. You arrive directly at the main chalets; the rest of this suggested route stays within the historic centre.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology, Via Museo 43, houses Ötzi: adult admission €13, separate from the market. It closes on 25 December and 1 January, and normally on non-holiday Mondays.
Where to park
BZ Centro is open 24 hours. Enter at Via Mayr Nusser 24 from 6 am to midnight and Via Macello 95 from midnight to 6 am. The old town has restricted vehicle access. BZ Centro charges €2 per hour from 8 am to 8 pm and €1.20 per hour overnight, with a €20 daily maximum.

Terni

Province of Terni · Umbria · Italy

Admission and costs
The squares and city walk are free. CAOS costs €5 full price, €3.50 reduced, for the Aurelio De Felice and Claudia Giontella Archaeological museums; free admission has specific eligibility rules. Refreshments and other Christmas attractions are separate.
Getting there
From Terni station’s bus terminal, CAOS lists routes 8/E624 or 2, 5, 6/E622. Start at Via Franco Molè 25, then continue towards the centre: this visit excludes the separate Segantini commercial village at Strada Maratta Bassa 91.
Time to allow
Allow around 4 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Focus on the two CAOS museums at Via Franco Molè 25 instead of the squares. Regular opening is Thursday–Sunday, 10am–1pm and 4–7pm; the €5 ticket covers the collections rather than city attractions.
