I have been interested in Otzi since he was discovered and was thrilled to have an opportunity to see the preserved body and the goods he carried. First, all of the interpretive signage was in Italian, German, and English making it accessible for many. As an American, I really appreciated this. The day we went the museum was full of schoolchildren excitedly engaging in conversation and projects about Otzi, science, and history. I just loved that his museum is so engaging and interactive. I also appreciated that no photos are allowed of Otzi and his goods out of respect for the remains of this ancient human. Each floor adds another layer to the mystery of how and why Otzi died, a careful examination of his possessions, and a synthesis of all of the evidence. As someone who has visited museums all over the world, this is one of the best. The only tricky part is finding parking!

I has wished to see Ötzi the Iceman ever since he was discovered when I was a teenager in 1991…read more Over the years, more and more was ascertained about his life and his passing and my fascination with his story continued to grew. Earlier this year I finally had the opportunity I was waiting for and spent an entire afternoon at the Museum in Bolzano dedicated to Ötzi. It was an extraordinary experience. The entire building is a testimony to his life and was built with taste and respect. It's a great exhibition in Italian, German and English perfect for people of all ages. I appreciated the fact that photos are forbidden and that Ötzi's rest is protected by the camera lenses. This is an absolute must-see while in the area.

Be prepared for a long line by noon. I mean more than one hundred people in line at the cassa. The QR code app wouldn't load even with a local SIM card because of the walls, I guess. I did enjoy pissing in the urinal until the lights went out. Not worth the aggravation!

Can also take Tram 6 but we couldn't figure out where to get it - also we were told it'll involve a bit of walk once you get there. The Spanish hall is the highlight and pretty amazing. The portrait galleries - is extensive and gets a bit monotonous. Not the most distinguished looking building - worth checking out if you have the time.

The museum is full of portraits, furniture,glass, and armory. If you have a baby bring a baby carrier because there's many steps and you will not be able to bring the stroller up.

My husband's choice of onion soup with cheese dumplings was the winner of that round. I had a beef broth with herb pancake which was ok but I felt like it was missing something.

We were surprisingly full so decided on sharing the apple strudel. It was a perfect way to end the meal. We managed to have a quick walk around the building which houses the history of skiing in the Alberg region. All in all a lovely meal.
