"City of flowers in spring, fun in the summer, the golden climate in autumn, the magic of Christmas in winter. City of health ... always."
An unpronounceable name, promising an unmatched journey: open from spring to autumn, the gardens nestled at the foot of the castle, once favoured by Princess Sissi for her winter retreat, showcase flora from every corner of the globe across twelve hectares. Amid scenic viewpoints, ornate pavilions, and captivating events, each visit transforms into an unparalleled experience.
Since the 19th century, Merano earned the title of a "healing city" for its gentle climate, pure air, and therapeutic thermal waters, renowned for their mineral salts, gases, and metals, ideal for treating respiratory issues and joint ailments. At the Terme di Merano, visitors can indulge in inhalation therapies, baths, and various wellness practices.
