What’s on in Merano
Merano attracts scores of visitors in every season, and not just for its landscape. A wealth of concerts, theatre shows, festivals and sporting events are organised throughout the year. In addition to the events, there are also permanent attractions to round off the offer. These include numerous museums, the town’s theatres, the Merano Art Gallery, the East-West Club, the Kurhaus hall and the Merano racecourse. Thanks to the mild climate the area is blessed with, many events can take place outdoor from spring to autumn. Enjoy your stay!
