Christmas Market of Merano

Christmas Market Merano and Kurhaus

From 30th November to 6th January, 2013

Merano (324 m) is located just at the point where Val Venosta, Val Passiria and Val d'Adige intersect. The historical centre of the city comprises the "portici" covered arcade connecting Piazza del Grano and Piazza Duomo, the Steinach district, via Leonardo da Vinci, via delle Corse and the three city gates that are still preserved.

Merano is the historic health resort and leisure centre of the South Tyrol region in Northern Italy. Its unique combination of the Mediterranean and Alpine climate offers a wide and diverse range of facilities for both summer and winter holidays.

Christmas to the standard of the pleasure and the rest: to abandon themselves to the caress of the wellness, to discover between the valuable stalls handicraft creations, specialty pastry cook and attractions for the children. In this splendid thermal city the well-being occasions never do not lack.

Precious moments of privacy, solemn moments of meditation during the christmas concerts of breaths and choruses, in the churches or on the Walks along the Passirio river.

A moment of the year much evocative one, in which the scents of the wine brulè and the christmas pastry shop are stirred to the sounds of music and the traditions of the Advent. The Christmas Market of Merano, with its exhibitors, proposes many ideas for the Christmas, from christmas decorations, to the slippers in cooked wool, the ceramics, the stoffe traditional, the statuette in wood, the toys and the typical pastry shop.

Merano and its historical center, decorated to festivity for the occasion, is one show for the eye and the heart. In the roads and the alleys of the center, dazzling in their christmas decorations, every display window emphasizes the solemnity of Christmas.
