Things to Do in Merano

Merano in the South Tyrol region can be one of the most unique Italian cities you’ll ever visit – it’s more Austrian than Italian. Lovely medieval hilltop castles backed by the dolomite Alpine foothills, apple orchards besides vineyards, a heritage in beer and strudels, and some road signs in both Italian and German make up this pretty mountain town.

Most of the Middle Ages churches and Art Nouveau landmarks are within the city limits, along the northern riverbank of the Passer River. To admire the scenic countryside, try walking Sissi’s Path that’ll lead you towards Trauttmansdorff Castle. Spare some time to unwind at one of this spa town’s thermal baths – Merano’s a spa town, after all.
