The most popular attraction in South Tyrol offers 80 different garden settings, creating a unique combination of art and nature – a variety of stations for the senses, one flowery highlight after the next over the course of the four seasons, as well as magnificent views of Merano and the mountains of South Tyrol: an experience for every fibre of your being – for young and old.

MERANO ENCHANTS YOU WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GARDEN IN ITALY
Views of exotic, Mediterranean landscapes, vistas that extend out across surrounding mountain chains and sun-soaked Merano: In this natural amphitheatre, the gardens of Schloss Trauttmansdorff bring together over 80 different garden worlds. After taking seven years to build, they were finally opened in June 2001. Nowadays, this grand work of art is truly resplendent in all its beauty – in 2005, this 12-hectare attraction was crowned the most beautiful garden in Italy, whilst also being named “Europe’s Garden” in 2006.
