The delightful Merano arcades have everything you could possibly want for an extensive shopping spree: Italian fashion boutiques, delicatessen shops with South Tyrolean specialities, international chains and historical businesses. Take a break from the shopping fun in one of the traditional old town cafés.

Discover plants from all over the world, exciting adventure stations and impressive themed landscapes. In the gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, you can follow in the footsteps of Empress Sissi in the Touriseum or simply let the splendour of the plants and flowers work its magic on you. In summer, the lake stage hosts popular open-air concerts with local and international artists.

Today, the historic Kurhaus is the event centre of Merano. Concerts with top-class musicians and ensembles, glittering balls, entertainment and information events as well as international meetings take place here every week. We recommend the famous Merano Music Weeks and the renowned Merano Wine Festival.
