Following in the footsteps of Empress Sissi

A promenade is perhaps one of the best ways to explore a place. Discover the historical locations around Merano, following the cultural diversity as you go. See Alpine and Mediterranean architecture side-by-side, alleys full of activity next to quiet squares. In Merano a signposted promenade leads you, in the footsteps of the Empress Sissi, from the city centre to her summer residence, the Castle of Trauttmansdorff, today a huge botanical garden open to the public. Or you could also take a promenade through the vineyards and orchards outside the villages that have been so formative to the culture of this region.
