The lively center of Tirolo extends around the parish church, which was already mentioned in documents in 1164. Modern, trendy stores, the obligatory vendors of South Tyrolean specialties, cozy bars and restaurants populate the lively, densely built center. From here you can reach the most important attractions of Tirolo in just a few steps: the romantic Schlossweg, which leads to Castle Tirol, the Mediterranean Falconer's Promenade and the educational Wine Trail. On summer evenings, every Monday in July and August, the event "Tiroler Abendrot" takes place in the center of the village: Stores stay open longer, gastronomic specialties await on every corner, plus a colorful children's program.
