MORE THAN JUST MOUNTAINS AND DUMPLINGS
As a small Italian village with a huge wine-growing tradition, Marling is obviously a congenial destination for gourmets and connoisseurs, but anyone with an eye for beauty will also get their money’s worth here. Lovers of art, culture and music are in for a real treat here in the Meran area!
Culture

Castle Trauttmansdorff
Meran, the town that the Empress Sissi made her summer residence, is a real gem. Some of its brightest facets can be seen at the famous gardens of Castle Trauttmansdorff. Their spectacular floral variety also makes a charming stage for live performances by international music stars in the summer.
Music
Which brings us to the music landscape of Meran, and its amazing variety. Merano Jazz and the Südtirol Jazz festival attract throngs of visitors from near and far. Classical music performances are a year-round attraction, but if there is an event music enthusiasts should not miss, it’s the Südtirol Festival. Previously known as Meran Music Weeks, it has earned its spot in the international classical music panorama. Festivals such as Transart and Asfaltart round off the offer with something for the younger hearts.
Promenades & Castles
You also have the opportunity to visit the places where royalty once used to holiday. Take a walk down the Passer and Tappeinerweg promenades or visit Castle Tirol and Castle Rametz for a short trip back in time.
