Merano pairs alpine scenery with belle‑époque elegance, and its Christmas Market makes the most of both.
Rows of cosy huts line the Passer river, with warming mulled wine, Südtiroler specialities, and handcrafted decorations. The Kurhaus hosts concerts and family activities, and there’s usually an ice rink and themed events for children. A focus on quality and local provenance keeps the shopping interesting, while the riverside promenade creates a relaxed, scenic route for browsing. The compact centre is walkable, with mountain views at every turn and plenty of cafés for a snug pit stop between stalls.
