Guided tour of Merano

Situated at 324 metres above sea level, Merano lies in a basin formed by the mouths of the Val Venosta, Valle dell’Adige and Val Passiria. High mountain ranges protect the city to the north and the east. This unique geography is largely responsible for the city’s typically mild climate, which supports a wide variety of Mediterranean and subtropical plants. Palms, cactuses and similar vegetation create an appealing contrast to the native Alpine flora. This enchanting town, renowed for the magical atmosphere offerd by its wonderful Christmas Markets, boasts a beautiful histirical center characterized by Medieval lanes, city walls and gates, flawless architecture of elegant Art Nouveau buildings that date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, churches and religious buildings of diverse denominations as well as gardens and parks in a wide range of styles.
Merano is also a spa town and one of the loveliest wellness centres south of the Alps.
Today, its spatial rooms host a variety of cultural and social events, concerts, conferences, exhibitions, celebrations and gala evenings.
