Merano

Merano is blessed with extensive parks and green promenades, with botanical gardens and numerous waterways. The town is a real draw thanks to its unique atmosphere; a fusion of the Alpine and the Mediterranean, and the medieval pergolas and the magnificent buildings from the Belle Époque period give the old part of town its urban flair. The snow-covered summits of the glaciers on the horizon tower majestically over the palm trees along the promenade and the exotic plants in the acclaimed gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle. The diverse range of cultural offerings in Merano starts in spring and lasts until the South Tyrolean Grape Festival at the end of the harvest season.
