The spa town of Merano: cultural center and heart of the region
Mediterranean climate, palm trees and olive trees in the valley, snow, ice and alpine landscapes on the surrounding mountain peaks - the sophisticated spa town of Merano presents itself as rich in contrast as its surroundings. The cityscape is characterized by a pleasant mix of traditional elements such as the Merano Kurhaus and avant-garde buildings such as the Merano Thermal Baths, including interiors by star architect Matteo Thun. Stylish boutiques, delicatessens or stores of young fashion designers invite to an extended stroll through the city. You can enjoy your latte macchiato in the sun at one of the numerous street cafés. Italian flair meets alpine mountain panorama and conveys pure joie de vivre!

Gourmet culture of diversity
For those who like to eat well, there are numerous options from the region's chefs. From asparagus in spring to chestnuts in autumn - South Tyrol's star chefs celebrate playing with the seasons, reinterpret traditional home cooking and combine Mediterranean and Alpine culinary culture to create multifaceted modern taste experiences. In combination with the excellent local wines, guests dine here at the very highest level - awarded numerous international prizes, toques and stars. Those who like it more traditional and original, stop in one of the numerous alpine huts and get a variety of tastes with a guarantee of quality.

Sporty active at each season
In the vacation region Meraner Land the motto is: be active in a relaxed way. Extensive walks along the Mediterranean irrigation channels past palm trees, vineyards and orchards or hikes on the Merano High Altitude Trail make everyday life seem a distant memory. A nature pleasure of the intensive kind can be experienced on a tour through the high ropes course, while cycling along 150 km of cycle paths or first attempts at climbing on one of the numerous rock faces.

Well-being from head to toe
After a day in the great outdoors, the extensive wellness offer is the crowning glory. The high-quality treatments are especially characterized by the use of trained professionals and regional natural products. For relaxing moments, the Terme Merano with its sauna and pool landscape. For those who prefer something more unusual: whey and hay baths, regenerating grape massages or apple body scrubs guarantee a vacation for body and soul.

Cultural events with international flair
In addition to top-class jazz festivals or world music concerts in the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, it is above all the Merano Music Weeks, which take place every year in late summer, that provide spiritual high pleasure. Greats such as the star conductor Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the violin virtuoso Nigel Kennedy or the vocal artist Bobby McFerrin promise an extraordinary musical experience.
