Aperitif in Merano
Is there anything more delightful than enjoying the evening in great company with delicious bites and good drinks? Whether after a leisurely stroll along the magnificent promenades or as a relaxed conclusion to an eventful day in the mountains—the aperitif in Merano is more than just a drink.
This moment of dolce far niente, the sweet doing nothing, is a true ritual in Italy. The aperitif is an essential part of Italian after-work culture. It’s a moment where enjoyment, culture, and joie de vivre perfectly connect.
Unique shopping paradise
Wandering through the historic portico, past beautifully decorated shop windows, one can easily lose track of time.
Under the arches of the medieval porticos, there are small, special shops. In the narrow side streets, on Liberty Street, and Rennweg, you’ll find Italian fashion boutiques, international chains, and shops offering all kinds of accessories, handicrafts, and delicious delicacies.
South Tyrolean and regional products, natural cosmetics, crafts, and traditional handicrafts are available in stores like PUR Südtirol and at markets such as the Merano Market.
Experience Merano
While the Kurhaus opens its doors to music lovers from around the world, Castle Trauttmansdorff stands majestically just outside the city on a hill. It becomes especially enchanting in spring when the Merano Flower Festival transforms the town into a blooming paradise. In summer, the Asphalt Art Festival turns the city streets into a colorful open-air gallery, where artists create impressive works directly on the asphalt.
Whether music, art, or nature—events in Merano offer unique experiences throughout the year that make the city even more magical.
