10 Castles in Merano That You Shouldn't Miss
Just a few miles south of the Austrian border, Merano (also called Meran) is an old spa town. About half the residents here speak German, the other half Italian. Take a dip in one of the thermal baths, or try Merano’s famous “grape cure” by imbibing - what else? - lots of grapes. The South Tyrol Museum of Tourism is located in Trauttmansdorff Castle, the former holiday pad of Austria’s Empress Elisabeth. Merano 2000, a ski resort that’s actually in the village of Hafling, is linked by cable car.

This attraction is linked to the gardens. It is very nicely made, and certainly worth a visit. Various aspects of the development of tourism in the area are presented in a chronological and pleasant way. The whole thing is in a superb castle. Excellent

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy
The Prince's Castle is right in the heart of Merano, and it was used by the Tyrolean Princes during their stays in the city. In 1875 it was at risk of being demolished, but it was saved thanks to tradition-conscious inhabitants of Merano. Today it is used for weddings (lower hall), and displays insights into the medieval life habits, thanks to the collections on display of furnitures, kitchen utensils, portraits, musical instruments and weapons. A small jewel, well worth a visit.
