How do I choose between the schools in Bolzano?

Look at three numbers, not the price alone. The real lesson length: 20 hours of 45 minutes are 15 actual hours, of 60 minutes they are 20. How many people are really in the class in high season, not the stated maximum. And the total including enrolment, materials and accommodation, not the weekly rate.

Which schools in Bolzano are exam centres?

No school in Bolzano is an exam centre: you sit the exam at a nearby venue, and the school helps you register.

Do the schools in Bolzano help you find accommodation?

Yes, all 1 of them. Host family, shared flat or residence: the host family is the most useful for the language, because it makes you speak Italian every evening.

How much does an Italian course in Bolzano cost?

Rates vary a lot and should be asked of the school. When you do, ask for the total: a one-off enrolment fee is almost always added to the weekly rate, usually 50–90 euros in Italy, and books, accommodation, cultural activities and exam fees may be charged separately.

How much does accommodation cost in Bolzano?

A host family with breakfast usually costs about €230–320 per week for a single room; a room in a shared flat generally starts at €200–280. These are rough figures: the price changes with the season, the distance from the centre and the meals included. Almost every school on this page books accommodation for you, so ask for a quote covering course and room together.

Events this year

The city's big festivals, food fairs and cultural seasons through the year. They're not just entertainment: they're the best training ground for your Italian. At a local festival you end up ordering, asking directions, chatting with locals: the real language, the kind books don't teach. If you can, line up a week of your course with one of these.

Mercatini di Natale From late November Piazza Walther hosts Italy's most famous Christmas market, with mulled wine and South Tyrolean crafts. A bilingual Italian-German setting: fascinating to experience while you study.	December
Bolzano Film Festival In April the festival brings independent cinema from the Alpine region, often in the original language with subtitles. Great listening practice and a chance to talk about films in Italian.	April
Südtirol Jazz Festival Between June and July jazz is played in mountain huts, cellars and squares across South Tyrol, often for free. An international, relaxed crowd: easy to strike up a conversation in Italian.	June–July
