Our Review of Merano

  1. Flair

    Elegant, sheltered, and blessed with a seriously mild climate — Merano feels more like the Mediterranean than the Alps.

  2. Best time to visit

    Spring and fall are the sweet spots — perfect for hiking and wandering through the gardens without the summer crowds.

  3. How long to stay

    Two to three days gives you enough time to soak in the thermal baths, explore the gardens, and get a real feel for the old town.

  4. Price level

    Upscale — this is a classic spa town, and prices reflect that. Budget accordingly.

  5. Food

    Don't leave without trying South Tyrolean apple strudel. Beyond that, the local alpine cuisine — often with a modern twist — is really worth exploring.

  6. Getting around

    The city center is totally walkable. Buses cover the surrounding villages and valleys reliably.
