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.

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.
