- Summary:
- Description:Cafes and restaurants open in Bolzano area What a joy to drink an espresso in a café, or to get a meal served! People in Bolzano are glad to get this little bit of normality back. There are a lot of rules and restrictions, people have to follow, they have to keep distance, and only people living together are allowed on the same table. If you would like to meet a friend, you could only talk to him with a distance of 2 meters at the bar. There are fewer tables in cafes and restaurants than before COVID and plexi glass separation in between. At many shops, people are asked do not touch the things, and only to try on, if they consider buying. At the perfumery it is also difficult as you are not allowed to try out the products, the owner hopes the cosmetic companies will send them new samples.
