Planning a trip to South Tyrol can raise many questions, especially for international visitors. To respond effectively to their needs, the “How to Arrive in South Tyrol” widget was created — an intuitive, multilingual and easily embeddable web component that provides up-to-date information on how to reach the region using various modes of transport.
