Things to do in Merano, Trentino-Alto Adige: The Best Gardens
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.
