Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Merano, Trentino-Alto Adige

October 15, 2021 Agatha Simes

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.

Wonderful gardens in the extensive grounds of Trauttmansdorff Castle. The walks in the different areas are well signposted to ensure you miss nothing. There is a Restaurant and Cafe on site whilst the Castle itself hosts an interesting exhibition about tourism ion the Dolomites.

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

Tappeiner Promenade

Reviewed By C8272NOmichelec

I think the best way is starting from Duomo place, beside the church you cand find a stair going up till Tappeiner promenade, you walk on the leftside and you find the signal to Tirolo. You walk that way and after 20 minutes you find yourself on a paved road, you turn on the left direction Dorf Tirolo and keep walking until a signal on the left that says Schloss Tirolo. You follow that trail and you arrive at Tirolo castle through the wine road. On the wayback you can take the same trail until a signal that says Tappeiner Quarazze, going down on the left you find the narrow road (it is hidden and not much visible). After 10 minutes you find yourself on a paved road with a lot of traffic, you walk two minutes on the leftside and you find the entrance of the Tappeiner promenade going back to Meran. At the end of Tappeiner you can keep walking on the Gilf promenade until the Summer promenade in the centre of Meran

Merano Centro Storico

Reviewed By 654patndave831654 - Sydney, Australia

I went to see the Christmas Markets and was amazed. This beautiful city was surrounded by snow peaked mountains. The flowing icy river meandered through the edge of town, with a gorgeous walking pathway alongside. The autumn leaves almost all dropped off but still left a bit of colour behind. The Christmas Markets were full of warmly clad locals and tourists. The mulled wine, wurst, hot pretzels, and cold meats etc filled many stomachs that day. Christmas decorations were a aplenty. I walked through the town, over the bridges and into churches. It was a never ending source of excitement. I loved this city..so much. Will definitely go back.

Palais Mamming Museum

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy

Just behind the main Cathedral and Cappella di Santa Barbara in Merano you can find Palazzo Mamming, hosting the Municipal Museum collections. The exhibition provides an overview of Merano's historical development, from pre-history to the current days. It's one of the best local museums I saw so far, truly centered on how local life evolved, and providing detailed explanations of what's on display. In addition to the main artifacts related to city life evolution, there are other collections on disply worth mentioning: - a collection of unusual and exotic artifacts donated to the museum, such as one of the five known death masks of Napoleon, an Egyptian mummy, a collection of Sudanese weapons and others; - a display of objects from the museum storage, not yet fitted in the collections on display, including statues, industrial products, etc.
