This place is very beautiful! I advise you to visit all 12 castles.

The most beautiful botanical gardens that I've ever seen in my life. We spent almost 4.5 hours admiring it. My kids were thrilled since there are a lot of interesting things there for kids alongside the gardens. I strongly recommend visiting there, just make sure you have extra time. There is also a tourist museum there (inside the castle), unfortunately due to a lack of time and a wonderful weather,we prefer to visit the gardens and not visit the museum.

Worth to see and it's wonderful 🤩

The gardens are unbelievably beautiful. A treasure. A good 4 to 5 hours walk of wonderful landscapes. The castle’s visit is not worth it.

Exceptionally beautiful botanic garden with a huge variety of plants and stunning views off the viewing platforms higher up on the hill. The different routes through the park are thematically arranged and guide you through the entire park. If you want to see everything, 3-3,5 hours should be sufficient if you walk at an average speed. There's multiple play areas and opportunities for interaction for children to make it more interesting for them. The restaurant is at an average price, the quality of the food we got there was however very good, and it was deliverd to the table rather quickly. Would definitely recommend this to everyone good by foot!

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.

In the castle there is a museum and left thst for the end of our tour there, to chill after we took 7 hours to visit the Botanical garden, and it's worth each minute. Restaurant experience want so great as we waited 15 minutes to just be served, even though others around us were served, they forgot to bring the water we ordered, got salads without the cutlery, and when we told we didn't get the water we ordered, we were charged another one on our tab. We sorted it our later but that experience is the only bad thing we had there.

If you are on a slow vocation, it is possible to spend a Day there.

Just great. Nice to walk around to enjoy the flowers and trees but also the waterfall and ponds, terraces, and viewpoints above the valley. Also an aviary and some mountain goats and green house with unique species. Lovely and recommended to the whole family.

After reading so many glowing reviews of this place, we decided to check it out. The gardens are enormous and can be steep at times, so be prepared for a workout if you want to see some of the upper attractions like the lovers garden and the aviary which I thought were both worth the climb. I’d recommend giving yourself at least 4 hours to see everything. We spent 3 hours here and weren’t able to see everything.

Fabulous gardens - also good cafe by lake and a good but v busy restaurant by the castle. Nice to see statues to Sissi in the grounds

Absolutely AMAZING place! Beautiful gardens, loads to see and explore. When I was reading the reviews, some people were saying that you could easily spend a whole day there - I was a bit sceptical. But actually, you could! We spent about 3-4 hours there!There are some spots for picnic too. There are also few restaurants to grab some food / drinks / gelato. Would deffo recommend!

This was our second visit, this time during the day - our previous visit was during the late opening one evening in the summer. The gardens are stunning, plenty of flowers and scents in early May. We were there 4h30m and didn't see everything, nor did we visit the museum. This is a place you can visit time and time again, but be aware that there aren't many places to shelter when/if it rains. Finally, don't visit in good weather at the weekend if you are travelling by car, the parking was full! Public transport is a better option.

Amazing place!! You can tell how much work they put into the garden, it is incredible. Allow at least 4 hours to see the garden, one of the highlights of our holiday.

Fantastic views of the city and surrounding landscape. Vineyards, steeples and mountains can be taken in from the viewing benches. There are also a few restaurants/spots to have a drink along the promenade. The climb up the old fort tower is worth it for the views from the top. It is quite a steep walk up to the promenade - we managed it with a pram but took some pushing!

Lovely walk with great views.

It starts from just behind the cathedral and finishes near the animal garden. Amazing views of the historic centre of Meran.

I was only able to do a short distance of the Tappeinerweg because of time , but still so impressive. The rushing river and beautiful views make this a 5 star place to be. I am looking forward to a continuation walk in the very near future. Recommended Step count possible in excess of 10000+ Final take---Go

Wonderful route, easy realxing, the whole family with kids can enjoy the view of merano from a bit higher. The route has a part long the river, very calming. There are small herbs garden to check out on the route as well. There’s also some restaurants along the way and hotels.

A must do if you visit Meran/o and like a beautiful walk. It is very accessible (I did it with a pushchair) and the panoramic views are amazing. There are some places to eat and drink along the path.

While visiting Merano, the Tappeinerweg is a must to visit. Beautiful view over the city.

Beautiful path with lots of wow views! Totally go there for a pleasant walk!

great service, beautiful view but impossible to appreciate due to the construction of a new ski lift. Excavators, trucks, drilling machinery and bulldozers at work along the entire route of path 3, 18 and 18a. The noise is unbearable and resounds throughout the valley. The transport trucks travel on the paths transformed on construction sites.

Great fun for the family. Everything was pretty reasonably priced. Sledding down the mountain was awesome. You can rent everything. Rented 4 sleds and 5 helmets all day for €30. Kids enjoyed the alpine Bob roller coaster down the mountain as well. Food and drinks were good as well.

It's an amazing place! I will definitely come back here.

Good for walking in the higher mountains, nice views and a few trails to follow. You need to take the cable car up really and it is a little expensive. The best part for kids was the alpine Bob, but the queue was long, still good fun.

Rustige omgeving, kindvriendelijk, paragliden mogelijk, speeltuin voor kinderen aanwezig, restaurant en hutten onderweg open voor eten en drank, fietsroutes en verhuur van fietsen aanwezig en mogelijk. Bob baan mogelijk. Tussenstation, evt. Parkeergelegenheid aanwezig, camping in de buurt, bushalte stopt gondel. (Translated by Google) Quiet area, child-friendly, paragliding possible, playground for children available, restaurant and huts along the way open for food and drinks, cycling routes and bicycle rental available and possible. Bob job possible. Intermediate station, possibly Parking available, camping nearby, bus stop and gondola stop.

It was an amazing experience to visit Meran 2000. We bought the skilift tickets online and could walk straight through. When we arrived at the top, the view was breathtaking. To get the fu experience, there is a path you can walk. It is not a hard hike but yiu do need a bit of stamina.

Very good service. But it requires muzzle guard for dogs over 3kg. It’s like every dog than is bigger than a cat. And it isn’t cheap.

It was my first time on an ariel tram it was a cool experience and really cut down on hiking time to the Via Ferrata we were doing.

Great hiking in high altitude quickly accessible by cable car from Schenna.

24€ for go and back looks expensive but it seems this is the local price for this kind of service. There is some nice treks on the top and beautiful landscapes. If you pay attention, you'll see some local inhabitants!

Very nice skiing spot with easy and challenging slopes for all sorts of winter sport lovers

Very large single cable car that travels smoothly up and down with up to 100 people at a time. Lovely walks or varying difficulty once you arrive. Views are lovely. Plenty of interesting activities for the kids and tandem paragliding and a super fast bob-sled track down the hill for the adventurous! A couple of lunch spots with views that ate very reasonably priced. A lovely way to escape from the summer heat for a day.

Without doubt its natural beauty attracting many hikers all around Europe. We were very lucky hiking in a sunning day, bright and shine. I feel so great to have a wild open view over the waving hills and mountains, fresh sky blue and mountain green strike to my eyes, I do enjoy such a natural mind-wash!

Incredible view, the meran 2000 has very big and somehow comfortable carts. That brings you to the point of 1900 meters. And from there you can walk even higher or walk down. Or you can take some pictures and go in the alpine bob, and go down again with the big cart. For two persons you have to note that you will be paying approximately 50/60 euros in totall, that’s for the lift upwards and downwards and for the alpine bob! But believe me it’s worth the money!

Awesome slopes and alms. Food and infrastructure at its best. Can fully recommend.

This is one of the best attractions in Merano, 80 different type of landscapes and plans have been set over here. I like the exciting lookout bridge in which hanging out of top, quite thrilling! but have a great panoramic view over Merano. In the castle where people experience old time interior living style, it was once the holiday residence of empress Elisabeth of Austria. All of exhibitions are nicely connected, they are not big to make you feel out of proportion. We spent half day here, and had a decent lunch.

The botanic garden is awesome!!Unfortunately a couple of exhibitions were closed

A fantastic museum, very well exposed

Amazing museum! I think this is a very good example of how a museum should look like. It offers a nice, thematic environment for education with an implementation of interactive elements.

Definitely a must see in Meran, together with the Botanical Gardens

An amazing museum. Don't miss it if you visit the garden.

Great exhibition and learning place. Family friendly.

not a very exciting statue

Beautiful statue of Elizabeth of Austria in a cosy greenspace.

Very striking statue

Take a Photo with her...

Ok

(Translated by Google) It is thanks to Sissi that the town of Meran became known throughout Europe as a climatic health resort at the end of the 19th century. In 1870 Sissi came to Meran for the first time. A large monument made of Lasa marble is erected in her honor in the park. Very nice to relax. Even a hot day in the park with a view of Merano's old town. Clear recommendation. (Original) Es ist Sissi zu verdanken, dass das Städtchen Meran Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts als Luftkurort in ganz Europa bekannt wurde. 1870 kam Sissi zum ersten Mal nach Meran. Im Park ist ihr zu Ehren, ein großes Denkmal aus Laaser Marmor errichtet. Sehr schön zum entspannen. Auch einen heißen Tagen im Park mit Blick auf die Meraner Altstadt. Klare Empfehlung.

(Translated by Google) The historic center of Merano is very nice and has many walks or bike rides. (Original) Il centro storico di Merano è molto carino e dotato di tante passeggiate da fare a piedi od in bicicletta.

Beautiful former residence of Austrian Royalty. Art, antique furniture, musical instruments, and weapons. Beautiful small chapel.

Please don’t trust the information about Merano in internet On google and on website is written that Castello is open. So I came here. This is what i found. Very disappointed

Really well preserved! It's very cool to get a glimpse of how nobility lived centuries ago. Small but great. Worth the visit!

One of the only place in the world where you can examinate furnitures of the early 16.th century.

Excellent view into history in this ancient castle that must have been the most impressive dwelling in the region when it was young. You'll value your modern conveniences more than before...

In this magical town you bump into castles when you least expect. Tiny and cute right by the "Seat Lift' to Tirol City

Review convince me! Totaly worth it !

Nice historical place to visit

It's a little difficult to get there, but is worthy!

This waalweg was incredible, there were stunning views to either side. The walk was not too challenging as it was quite flat, it was very good for a hot day as it was easy going, if you are looking for a harder walk I would not recommend but overall it was excellent, an added bonus was the fact a local farmer had placed a stall with glasses of fresh juice for the excellent price of just over €1.

A fantastic trail, from the town of Marling to the village of Lana. This is the longest irrigation channel in South Tyrol, hiking through the apple orchards and vineyards, the spectacular view of Merano, benches along the way. One of the best way to spend your time with the family. I highly recommend this.

Super Trail. Fantastic views over Meran and the Etsch valley. It possible to hike with a baby buggy.

Super

Mega

No words needed! Simply amazing, enjoy the trip along the river Passirio

Top

Beautiful strolling path along the Passer river in downtown Merano. Views abound everywhere Wide path Handicap doable Restaurants Cafes Hotels Recommended Final take--Go to see and be seen. Excellent gawking value************

It is nice and quite in this little city side. Many shopping places in the center. And nice place to sit at the water and relax .

Lovely view

Very nice views along the Passirio river, perfect for long calm walks or runs.

Very nice walk and scenery, a must do if you are near there

A wonderful walk

Beautiful old church located at the NE section of the Via Portici which runs pretty much east to west. The St. Nicholas' Church (German: Pfarrkirche St. Nikolaus) is the parish church of the town of Merano in South Tyrol, northern Italy. The church is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the town. It is located at the end of the Laubengasse in the old town centre between the Domplatz and Pfarrplatz. It was first mentioned in 1220 and was expanded over time in the 14th century before taking its final shape in the year 1465. The architectural style is mainly Gothic. The church consists of three naves. It has well-preserved stained glass windows, and a large rose window over a pointed arched portal, a number of wooden sculptures of saints and paintings that date from different periods. Of particular importance is the large altar and pulpit. Outside is a tall clock tower with a sundial. Old tombstones line the walls and various paintings from the life of Jesus Christ. Behind the church is St. Barbara's Chapel. Recommended

Stunning views of St Nicholas and the surroundings

If you are in Meran, this Parish church is worth visiting, dedicated to the patron saint of the town Saint Nicholas, it has three naves and with beautiful stained glass windows, the organ with the rose window at the middle is impressive. Outside don't miss the frescoes on the wall.

nice small gothic church

Beautiful church but really lacked lighting inside to be able to view it more.

Merino is a must. So much to see.

Well worth the visit.

Nice view from all sides

Kurhaus by night: no words needed 🪩🪩🪩 Enjoy the view

Good location for will events.

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.

Top event.... great managment!!!

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.

Beautiful architecture!

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.

(Translated by Google) We walked part of the Meraner Höhenweg. From the Leiter Alm (to be reached by cable car) to the Hochmuthbahn and then another Stüxk. There are many exposed spots. Only for those with a head for heights. The view is really wonderful. We liked to go there. (Original) Wir sind einen Teil des Meraner Höhenwegs gegangen. Von der Leiter Alm (mit der Seilbahn zu erreichen) zur Hochmuthbahn und dann noch ein Stüxk weiter. Es gibt viele ausgesetzte Stellen. Nur was für Schwindelfreie. Der Ausblick ist wirklich herrlich. Wir sind ihn gerne gegangen.

(Translated by Google) As a beginner hiker, I walked the entire Merano High Trail in 6 days in September 2022. A beautiful path with unforgettable views and excellent gastronomy. Nice, clean accommodation options. I would run the route again in a heartbeat. (Original) Ich bin als Wanderanfängerin den kompletten Meraner Höhenweg im September 2022 in 6 Tagen gelaufen. Ein wunderschöner Weg mit unvergesslichen Aussichten und hervorragender Gastronomie. Schöne, saubere Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten. Ich würde den Weg sofort wieder Laufen.

(Translated by Google) We walked part of the Meraner Höhenweg from Vernuer to St. Leonhard. It was about 20 km. Great route with a great view of Merano, St. Martin and St. Leonhard. Diverse paths, sometimes roads, over pastures, through forests and along slopes. Condition and surefootedness should be available. We got to Vernuer by bus (line 224). The path is very well signposted with the exception of a small spot. (Original) Wir liefen ein Teil des Meraner Höhenweges von Vernuer nach St. Leonhard. Es waren zirka 20 km. Tolle Strecke mit genialer Aussicht auf Meran, St. Martin und St. Leonhard. Abwechslungsreiche Wege, mal Straße, über Weiden, durch Wälder und entlang von Hängen. Kondition und Trittsicherheit sollte vorhanden sein. Nach Vernuer gelangten wir mit dem Bus (Linie 224). Der Weg ist bis auf eine kleine Stelle sehr gut ausgeschildert.

(Translated by Google) The hiking trail is easy and difficult in some places. So it's a mix for hiking.

That was really a nice hiking day 😊 (Original) Der Wanderweg ist an machen Stellen leicht und schwer. Also ist eine Mischung zum Wandern. Eine kurze Wanderpause gibt es viele Stellen, wo man so ein herrlicher Panoramablick und tolle Aussicht hat. Das war wirklich ein schöner Wandertag 😊

(Translated by Google) I recommend route 24. Park at Texelbahn (free), take the cable car to Giggelberg. Take path 24 towards the Unterstell cable car. The route lasts 3.5 hours for a total of 10 km: medium-high level. Breathtaking views, and farms with excellent products (I recommend the Pirch farm). Get off with the Unterstell cable car in Naturno and take bus 266 towards Texelbahn where you parked. (Original) Consiglio il percorso 24. Parcheggiate a Texelbahn (gratis), prendete la funivia per arrivare a Giggelberg. Imboccate il sentiero 24 in direzione funivia Unterstell. Il percorso dura 3,5 ore per un totale di 10 km: livello medio alto. Panorami mozzafiato, e masi con prodotti eccellenti (consiglio il maso Pirch). Scendete con la funivia Unterstell a Naturno e prendete l'autobus 266 direzione Texelbahn dove avete parcheggiato.

(Translated by Google) Texelbahn mountain station section to Katharinaberg. That's around 15 km, the altitude varies between 500 and 600 meters depending on the watch or app. Pure walking time 4 hours, with breaks 5 hours. The path leads through the 1000 steps gorge. I don't know if there are 1000, but there are a lot of them. I would describe the hike as moderately difficult. You should be sure-footed because of the many steps, stones and roots. It goes down steeply in places, the paths are not secured by railings, and if you stumble, you can go downhill. The paths are usually less than a meter wide. Of course not suitable for strollers. OK with dog. There are two suspension bridges that sway a bit when you walk over them. A very beautiful section that has both shady and sunny passages. You always have beautiful views of the valley. There are several places to stop for refreshments. We took the Texelbahn up and walked the path to Katharinaberg. You can take the bus back here. Line 251 goes to Naturns. The bus leaves every hour, always at minute 40. We drove back to Naturno's town hall at 4:40 p.m. and half an hour later we were able to take line 266 to the Texelbahn. Line 266 always leaves Rathaus at minute 44, but not every hour. From 3:44 p.m. the bus runs every hour until 6:44 p.m (Original) Abschnitt Bergstation Texelbahn bis Katharinaberg. Das sind rund 15 km, die Höhenmeter variieren zwischen 500 und 600 Metern je nach Uhr oder App. Reine Gehzeit 4 Stunden, mit Pausen 5 Stunden. Der Weg führt durch die 1000 Stufen Schlucht. Ob es 1000 sind weiß ich nicht, aber es sind viele. Die Wanderung würde ich als mittelschwer bezeichnen. Eine gewisse Trittsicherheit sollte vorhanden sein, wegen der vielen Stufen, Steine und Wurzeln. Es geht teilweise steil nach unten, die Wege sind nicht durch Geländer gesichert, und falls man stolpert, kann es auch mal nach unten gehen. Die Wege sind in der Regel weniger als einen Meter breit. Selbstverständlich nicht Kinderwagen geeignet. Mit Hund ok. Es gibt zwei Hängebrücken, die schwanken ein bisschen beim drüber gehen. Ein sehr schöner Abschnitt, der sowohl schattige als auch sonnige Passagen hat. Immer wieder hat man sehr schöne Einblicke in das Tal. Einkehrmöglichkeiten gibt es mehrere. Wir sind mit der Texelbahn hoch gefahren und den Weg bis Katharinaberg gelaufen. Hier kann man den Bus zurück nehmen. Linie 251 fährt bis Naturns. Der Bus fährt jede Stunde, immer in der Minute 40. Wir sind um 16.40 Uhr zurück gefahren bis Naturns Rathaus und konnten eine halbe Stunde später die Linie 266 bis zur Texelbahn nehmen. Die Linie 266 fährt von Rathaus immer zur Minute 44, aber nicht jede Stunde. Ab 15.44 fährt der Bus dann aber jede Stunde bis 18.44

(Translated by Google) We have been to South Tyrol so many times, but have always skipped this classic route because we assumed that this route would be too crowded. Now, at the beginning of June, we dared and were rewarded with a sensational experience. The first few kilometers in particular offer an impressive panorama 👍😎 (Original) Wir sind schon so oft in Süd Tirol gewesen, haben aber immer diesen Klassiker ausgelassen, weil wir davon ausgingen, dass dieser Weg zu überlaufen ist.

(Translated by Google) Really great. Breathtaking landscape, but check which path you take beforehand. It can be very tiring, but they're all great (Original) Richtig toll Atemberaubende Landschaft, aber vorher schauen welchen Weg man geht kann sehr anstrengend werden aber alle super

Wonderful wine tasting and service here! The museum was also so interesting and the place is just beautiful! Can’t wait to come back!

Very friendly staff, beautiful views and excellent quality wine 🍷

What a great tour of an 800 year old winery with a full museum.

Our tour group scheduled a wine tour here. We heard about the history of the castle and how it came to be a winery. The wine was tasty and the people were very friendly.

We went for wine degustation/tour, our wine guru was Anna, a 82 years old lady, and it was the best wine tour we have done in Italy really. Totally recommend it!

Small museum, not that mutch information. After the visit we tasted some wines, they were realy good.

Nice place
