Botanical garden
Castle
The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, located in Meranerland, boast terraced landscapes with stunning art installations and 'experience stations' offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Spanning 8.5 hectares, these gardens showcase over 80 plant worlds from diverse natural and cultural landscapes worldwide. Visitors can explore four distinct garden sections representing indigenous forests of America and Asia, Mediterranean environments, local culture, and European garden design.
Spectacularly large and well-tended botanical garden. We spent several hours and could have spent more- so extensive the different collections. Spots to stop and rest, well-signed, mostly accessible with planning. There are stairs but those can be avoided. There are sections tailored to children and others for those who like modern sculpture or constructed points of interest. Specifically there are two “thrill” installations that allow visitors to overlook the garden mid-air.

Perfect place to unwind on a rest day
A beautiful and relaxing spot — perfect if you're taking a break from mountain trails. Highly recommended for families with kids; there's enough to see and do to fill an entire day. The gardens are full of variety, with scenic viewpoints, playful zones, and interactive features that keep everyone engaged.
Try to visit on a sunny day — the colors pop, and the views over Merano and the surrounding mountains are spectacular. A great way to recharge before your next hike!
Beautiful gardens. Only walking through them can take half a day if you take tour time and stop for a coffee at one of the coffee places. There is also a couple of museums inside. And sometimes they have special events like in the winter the lights installation. Great for kids too all year around.
Huge botanical garden with different sections devoted to the plants of the South Tyrol and other regions. Plan to spend at least 3 hours there. We especially enjoyed the Garden for Lovers, the panoramic viewing platform and the Lotus Pond. Wear comfortable shoes! Lots of walking. Great place for kids. So much to see!
If you like flowers and special plants go here. For me all the extra information doesn’t bother me. However I do know that’s me.
I did like the hike/walk in the park, lots of nice views. All in all nice place to visit we spend 2/3 hr in the park
Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. The beautifully landscaped gardens and the charming museum inside the castle make it a worthwhile experience. Be prepared for quite a bit of walking though: to see everything the gardens have to offer, you’ll cover around 7 kilometres and tackle plenty of elevation gain.
The park is very beautiful and spacious, with excellent green areas and a lovely lake that makes you feel surrounded by nature. In addition, there is a café and a restaurant, with really good services. I definitely recommend the experience if you visit Merano.
Giardini Trauttmansdorff is a real treat for nature lovers and garden enthusiasts alike. With its stunning landscapes and diverse plant collections, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're strolling through the Mediterranean terraces, exploring the water lily ponds, or marveling at the exotic flora in the subtropical rainforest, every corner offers a new delight. Plus, the views of the surrounding mountains are simply breathtaking. Don't miss the chance to learn about local and international plants through interactive exhibits and educational displays. And when you need a break, grab a snack at one of the cafes and soak in the beauty around you. It's definitely a must-visit when you're in the area!

The castle boasts the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, featuring over 80 garden landscapes spread across 12 hectares with an altitude difference of 100 meters.

A beautiful place with lots of original and rare flowers. I recommend going there with your friends, then it is interesting to explore. In addition, the castle in which the restaurant is located. Really stunning place.

Beautiful garden with a wide variety of botanical riches--from the "trees of the world" area to the amazing and artful viewing platform set high above the garden to the more formal plantings around the big pond and in the sunny hills near the castle. We spent a few hours here and enjoyed every minute.
Absolutely wonderful gardens, walks and fascinating flowers, trees and animals. Certainly worth a visit as the colours are exceptional.
Great place with a beautiful garden. You can stay hours and enjoy the beauty. Easy access by buses from the center.
We visited the Botanical Gardens of Schloss Trauttmansdorff and highly recommend it. Parking at P3 or P4 is free and just a short 5-minute walk to the entrance. The park is beautifully designed with a wide variety of landscapes and attractions. We started on the left and worked our way through to the right, spending about 2.5 hours in total. There’s a lot to see and experience. Some paths are quite steep, so it might be a bit challenging for older visitors. Overall, a stunning place well worth the visit.
Must see if you are in the area, 3-4 hours is minimum to be able to see all
This place is so awesome I don't even want to write a review about it, it might make it busier in this era of overtourism.
But anyway: this garden is too beautiful to be true: the location in the Alps, the hilly terrain of the park, and the variety of plants and flowers and artwork. Usually it's sunny here which really helps.
We were here in late October which was perfect.
Walking around is not really doable for people who don't walk well.
Parking is easy, there's also a bus to the station and it's an easy detour from the Brenner tollway.
The garden itself is beautiful but be aware that there are car thieves operating in the car parks. Smashed windows and stolen belongings are a common occurrence.

From the moment I stepped into this stunning Italian eatery in the heart of Merano, I was captivated. From the intimate ambiance to the impeccable service, it truly felt like a warm invitation to experience the real Italy.

Every bite was a delightful exploration of robust and intricate flavors, transporting me through the various regions of Italy, and every dish was cooked to perfection, reflecting the passion and mastery of the chef.
Beyond the extraordinary food, what stood out was the world-class service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, anticipating every need and ensuring that each course was a seamless transition from the previous. Their knowledge about the menu was thorough, their recommendations were spot-on, and their genuine warmth added to the overall dining experience.

The food was absolutely amazing! The place and the restaurant are very beautiful. Great wine selection. The restaurant was full, and it was clear the staff had a lot to handle. We’ll definitely come back every time we’re in Merano.
good restaurant in the center of this beautiful garden! good seasonal (asparagus) dishes!
All perfect!
Very good restaurant where Italian meets German kitchen. Nice atmosphere and inside.

I tried their pizza and pasta and coffee and sweet. It was the best restaurant in meran! Thanks!
This is a lovely restaurant where the staff really treats everyone like a good friend! The garden eating area is lovely in the summer and the pizza is really top-notch. Thin crust, good toppings, the right amount of cheese. Will be back again!
Excellent pizza. Best I have ever tasted. Very big so go hungry.
Sharper knives are needed though.
Delicious whole grain pizza! Fast service, reasonable prices! Great outdoor garden: fantastic to eat under the big trees
Pizza was delicious and big. Prices are also good. Just mind that the kitchen closes at like 2 PM like most of the places in the region. On Maps it says it's open all day but food is not available during that ~ 2 - 6 PM period.
The pizza was amazing, real Italian pizza is the best! Friendly staff, and the ambiance is great. Loving the mountain views and scenery. Great place to eat if you want to have a lovely evening!
Very good Pizzeria.
Please note that the kitchen is closed from 14:00-18:00
You can order Pizza from 17:00 other than that from 18:00.

Day 2
Northeast side of town
For day 2, we recommend exploring the northeast side side of town. Start the day off with Terme Merano, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Stadt Centrum. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Thermal baths
Terme Merano is a seasonal thermal park and year-round indoor spa featuring 25 bathing pools, saunas, and a fitness center. The Hotel Terme Meran offers a quiet and spacious room with friendly staff. The hotel boasts an adults-only thermal infinity pool on the rooftop overlooking the town and snow-capped mountains. During winter holidays, visitors can enjoy ice skating at the nearby rinks or explore the Christmas market in the decorated spa town.
Came here on a rainy day. This place is very large with many pools that have different temperatures. There are area where you can lay indoor and sleep/rest. They do not provide towels and are additional to entrance fee. The rate was 18€ for 2 hours or 20€ for 3 hours. Each additional hour after the 2 hour mark is 10€.
Vu N — Google review
Terme di Merano is a true gem in this small city. It’s always a pleasure to return and spend some time in the lovely pools. However, this time the experience was less relaxing due to children and teenagers screaming and splashing about all day. The lifeguards do their best to keep the situation under control, but it doesn’t seem to be particularly effective.
Children, in particular, are allowed access to every pool, rather than being directed to the smaller ones more suited to them. I believe the management should implement stricter rules to ensure children only use the pools designated for them. This would significantly improve the experience for other guests, who would no longer have to endure constant shouting or being splashed.
Additionally, the outdoor pool at 37°C wasn’t accessible, as children were continuously diving into it and entering from all directions. This spoils the experience for adults who simply want to relax. I sincerely hope the management considers making some changes.
The experience was generally nice however I felt like the thermal pool had to be a bit hotter. Bistro’s menu can be improved there wasnt that much option. And even though we went on a random Tuesday it was crowded, luckily on holidays&crowded sessions you must reserve beforehand. The hygiene was sufficient.
Nice pools though overcrowded in summer and not cheap.
Many rules to follow which could be somewhat more politely expressed: cloakroom full, go outside, just to find out outside you need 1€ change which we did not have, came to cloakroom inside which were NOT FULL!
Besides, yelled at for not bringing bought food outside of the bar etc etc...
So many tourists so you're just one of them...
Unlike many other reviewers we had a fabulous time here. It was September and pretty quiet, with few children. We preferred the outdoor pools, swimming in the fresh air. Temperatures varied but many pools were 34C.
We stayed for 2 hours (it wasn’t warm enough to sit outside in wet costumes) All staff we came across were pleasant. Facilities were spotless. We brought towels, flip flops and shower soaps with us. We didn’t stay for lunch - preferring to go back into town and eat by the river.
Lovely experience.
I have to say unfortunately an horrible experience. We had a reservation for a 20 min massage and the spa for the whole day. €118 euros. For this amount of money we expected a relaxing experience. It was quite the opposite. Staff were rude except for the lady at the massage. Massage was a very light but relaxing massage for 15 min. Then we stepped back into the overcrowded hell with the pools and all the people and children. If you have been to a real spa, please avoid this commercial drained organization. Bistro was also a bad experience. Staff were uninterested helping you and a lot was already sold out (we were there at 3PM)
Nice and not that expansive
The water should be more warm in my opinion
This place is absolutely not relaxing. I went on a Tuesday afternoon expecting some calm, but it was incredibly overcrowded—people everywhere, chlorine smell hanging in the air, and water splashing all around. Even the adult-only spa area, which is supposed to be more private, was jam-packed. Guests were literally queuing up naked just to get inside. If going nude is your thing, that’s fine, but there was simply no space to enjoy or unwind. It was impossible to relax with the sheer number of people packed into every corner. Terrible experience overall. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, don’t bother coming here.

Perched 1130 meters above sea level, Hotel Colle Kohlern offers breathtaking views of the Dolomites and is just a short walk from the cable car to Bolzano's valley. The restored 19th-century building features spacious rooms with wooden floors and en-suite bathrooms, as well as amenities like a swimming pool, spa, and hot tub.
The food was excellent and there is also an excellent wine list, I come often because everything is really excellent, the restaurant serves both typical South Tyrolean cuisine and Italian and gourmet cuisine, the price is slightly above average but this is due to the quality top of the ingredients! Absolutely recommended!

Perfect restaurant in Meran. Outstanding kitchen, grand wine selection and a more than welcoming service in the perfect location. Very chic interior that kept the old structures alive - big recommend for a culinary night out in Meran!
Found this on the Michelin guide and came in without a reservation. The food was excellent, ambience was a modern-cozy, service was good. It was a very reasonably priced 3-course meal with sparkling wine for two. We were even offered espresso or lemoncello after we paid. We will come again.
Splendid restaurant, best wienerschnitzel and service. What is even more impressive, and that goes for most places in Italy, is that they fill up their wine-list with local produced wines. This restaurant is a very strong recommendation.
Good restaurant with a particular atmosphere. Great for special occasion or just a nice dinner. The menu is impressive in terms of original and local food. Good wine selection.
Fine, very tasty dinner in an historic building in the middle of the city! great service!
I've been there with my family during our shopping tour through Meran. The service was quite cold and came after a long 5 minute wait. We orderd some drinks and the traditional liverdumplingsoup (Leberknödelsuppe), which was the water-likest soup I ever tasted! The dumpling was really small and contained almost no meat, but a lot flavorless bread... We payed around 40€ for 3 drinks and 3 soups, including the Italian "coperto", for some bread we never got... We won't visit again!
Very good food and a very friendly staff. Beautiful outdoor seating on their 1st floor balcony. Traditional but very interesting menu.

We went there for a concert during the Merano Music Festival. Very elegant place ❤️
Top event.... great managment!!!
It's so nice, beautiful place, we was here for yoga Days. It an old hall for Zeremonie dance's, conferenz, exibitions, lessons, seminars. Some days Kurhaus is opened for free to visitors and tourist.
I really didn’t think I could believe the 5 star reviews here, but thought to give it a go anyway. And now I can only say, I would rate this place 6 stars if I could.
We had the Rinderfilet and it was absolutely fantastic. We also had the beef burger and Mais. The burger was delicious and an excellent portion size. The ingredients are really high quality, and the beef is cooked perfectly. You can tell the chef really cares about making the food well and he often checks on those who ordered a meat cut to make sure it has been cooked to their liking.
A lovely place that I would recommend to everyone coming to Meran.
Kurhaus by night: no words needed 🪩🪩🪩
Enjoy the view
A great evening was had by all at the Club 41 Italia AGM Gala Dinner and organised by Club 41 Merano.
We also had the Annual General Meeting upstairs. Very spacious and well equipped for conferences.
The venue, service and catering for dinner were second to none.
I recently visited this nice place. Very good indeed. I liked it very much and I will come to visit it every time when I have the occasion.

Simple but fast and well done grocery store woth dine in or take away food service
I really enjoyed !!
Is a great Boutique for south Tirol food, even tho prices are high but the quality is amazing. If you need fresh and km0 food this is the right place
You can not only buy regional and fresh products here but also try it in their own restaurant. We shared a „Brettl“ (for one person) and also got some gluten-free bread! Very delicious food and friendly service. Thanks! 😊
Fantastic shop with great panini (in the pic the vegetarian panini, not to be confused with the vegetarian bread roll) and great cider!!
Awesome store and cafe. Even if you just want a coffee or a full blown cheese plate you can't go wrong here. The selection of products are worth a trip here. As an added bonus, the basement has hanging speck.
Favourite place in Merano to have lunch with nice glass of local wine. Go there every time I visit. Only local goods, friendly staff. You can purchase stuff also, as there is a local goods store together with bar.

Supermarket
The Stadt Centrum shopping center features various stores catering to everyday needs such as groceries, clothing, and electronics. While parking may be somewhat challenging due to its location, it is understandable. The selection of shops is acceptable, although the specific assortment may not cater to everyone's preferences. However, it should be noted that the mall maintains a consistently clean environment.
Stadt Centrum may be a compact shopping mall, but it packs a big punch. Spread over three floors, it's an easily navigable shopping haven with a wide variety of stores, ranging from apparel stores to a jewelry shop and optician. This ensures all shoppers find what they need, whether it's groceries, trendy clothing, or the latest electronics. Stadt Centrum is your one-stop destination for all these and more!

Open on Sundays but the bathrooms are not properly equipped and the price for the parking is too high.
The best thing about this place is the DM and the Spar. Should not try to use the toilet since it’s heavily dirty, like most of the place in general is.
Access to parking spots kinda hard, but understandable given its location. Shops are kinda okay, just not my type. Mall is always clean though.
Very little shopping mall, few and badly furnished stores appropriate to certain specific crowds, no restaurant or bar, self checkout at the supermarket often doesn't work. All around a bad experience at this mall.
Tha Mall initself (alone) is not very big or special but it's in the Centre of the City which is very attractie in all kinds of ways. Just visit the City Centre and spend some time here too
My opinion Is that this shopping place Its one of thé best in Merano , great shops, everything you need under one roof.Not cues , not so many people, you will buy allmost all your needs.Have big parking and clean toilets ( WC)
if the time for closing says 1930 then close at 1930...instead of making people come to find at 1910 the centre's doors are already closed. Self check out terrible....quicker to stand in a long queue

Restaurant
Forsterbräu Meran is a renowned restaurant and ale-house situated in Corso Liberta, opposite the main entrance of Kurhaus. It is popular among locals and tourists for its traditional cuisine and eight varieties of draught beer available from lunch until late at night. The venue features a main dining area, several charming Stube, and an indoor garden with chestnut trees for warm weather dining.
Great food and atmosphere! The carbonara raviolo was delicious and rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The space is huge and lively, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner in Merano. Definitely worth a visit!

Stopped here for lunch during a stunning Harley ride through the region. Perfect, easy parking for my Ultra, outside. The authentic Italian food was incredible—the food was fresh and delicious. Combined with the excellent service and a cold local drink , it made for a perfect riding break. Highly recommend to any bikers visiting Merano!
Forsterbräu Merano is a restaurant where the food comes faster than you realize you're hungry, and everything is so delicious that you want to write down the recipe in your personal "happiness" diary. The waiters behave like your old and slightly tired friends: they wink, give you a hint, and sometimes just shrug their shoulders with understanding, as if they know all your gastronomic weaknesses. The atmosphere is relaxed, cozy, with a slight touch of "we've been here a long time and we're glad to see you." The perfect place to eat deliciously without straining yourself or pretending to be a serious gourmet.
The food is always great, especially if you want some typical south Tyrolean dishes. It tends to be busy so sometimes the waiters are a little rushed but always friendly and attentive. We usually make a reservation, but I don't think it's a must as there is LOTS of seating.
Nestled in the heart of Merano on Corso Libertà, right across from the Kurhaus, Forsterbräu Meran is a local landmark and a favorite among tourists.
Overall, the place is well-loved, especially for its lively ambiance and wide beer selection. The portions are generous, and it’s a great spot since they stay open late into the night.
Price is good
Second time here and still so good. The garden terrace is beautiful, the service is friendly and the food and beer are great.
Nice restaurant in Merano, the food was good but our waiter was borderline rude. Nice atmosphere.
Great location and atmosphere during the summer as you sit right on one of Merano main streets. We went for typical Tyrolean dishes and it was a good choice. Food was very good, but maybe not great - however you may expect this from a place which is a typical beer garden. Good selection of Forst beers which are produced in a village right next to Merano. Overall well worth it, good food, great experience

Flavorless vongole pasta and very little clam meat in the shells. Long wait to get food and apathetic servers. The only thing this place has going for it is the location/view.
The only good thing about this place is the location, terrible service, terrible ice cream. It’s just lucky to be located in the city with nice views otherwise everything else is bad! And after the bad experience you can’t find a waiter, took forever for him to come out!
It was nice experience the staff was friendly
But food took so long to come
We ordered fired sea food which were
Delicious, the salmon plate was perfect
The chicken burger was okay ( the bread was very big )
Mushroom risotto 8/10
The dessert :
Bananas split 8/10
Tiramisu 7/10
Basic options for lunch. Pizza is average but works if you are hungry. Nice spot on a sunny day.
The Roemer spritz was amazing and the pizza tasted amazing the staff was very friendly and helpful 😊
Very good and delicious pizzas, nice garden on the promenade of Merano!
Gentle staff and good prices!

Restaurant
Bistro Terme Merano is located on a beautiful sun terrace with stunning views of the Spa Park and art nouveau buildings. It faces the impressive Terme Merano spa building, making it a picturesque spot for dining. The bistro offers light Mediterranean cuisine using local ingredients, as well as vitality-packed finger foods, aperitifs, cocktails, and fine Italian wines.
Really loved sitting down here for an aperitvo; drinks are priced very reasonably and they have a really good wine list in my opinion. Included in the apertivo are fresh, tasty olives and some salty snacks. Worth a drink or two!

I had a coffee and a small chocolate croissant. Liked everything. Service’s good. Outdoor seatings are quite enjoyable. Restrooms are clean. There are some cool designs canue art hanging.
the service is a disaster, can't speak English even though it's a tourist region the lady with black hair laughed at us when we didn't understand German lack of respect for the customer 🙂
It's just fine 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice place to sit down for a quiet drink and a bite to eat
Staff was nice. Food choices were meh.

Great place—we visited it based on a recommendation from our hotel and ended up coming back the next day. We basically wanted to try every dish on the menu!
Excellent staff, delicious food. A solid 10 out of 10. We’ll definitely return if we come back to Merano.
New owner. Amazing food and good service. Definitely worth a visit
I took my husband here to celebrate his birthday. We enjoyed an aperitif in the warm and inviting bar area, welcomed by the kind bartender. We moved to inside the restaurant which boasted an inviting area with hefty wood beams, wood paneled floors, and soft lighting. The food was delicious and so beautifully presented. Our waiter was friendly and attentive and made the perfect dessert recommendation! We cannot say enough about this gem of a restaurant in the heart of Merano.
We stayed a week in Merano and went 3 times to this restaurant, it was very good. Original dishes, kind service and great wines. High value for money.
Awesome food (from sides like dill cream over mashed horseradish potatoes to of course the main dishes like perfectly tender beef cheeks) and a stylish minimalist interior.. perfect in combination with the nice garden and separate area for aperitivo! Definitely 5 stars!
Bad menu but we were open minded, as a group of 7, no one enjoyed anything it was absolutely disgusting. Also gave us an already open half bottle of wine.
Worst service I have ever witnessed, seem to be understaffed. Employees have no clue of the wine they are selling.
