The Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle

Over 80 garden landscapes, sunny terraces and unique experience stations

Art and nature have been blending since 2001 at the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, set in a natural amphitheatre on the eastern outskirts of Merano, with more than 80 garden landscapes from around the world and several unique Experience Stations, Artist Pavillions and a spectacular viewing platform designed by star architect Matteo Thun, in addition to attractions like the Forbidden Garden, the Botanical Underworld and a „Lovers’ Garden“ that opened to celebrate the 15 years of the structure.

For this gorgeous picture and the innovating spirit that lies behind its conception, Trauttmansdorff was named Italy’s Most Beautiful Garden in 2005 and Europe’s No. 6 Garden in 2006. Its subsequent crowning as International Garden of the Year in 2013 launched this unique complex in the firmament of world’s most beautiful gardens and parks.

From the magnificent blooming of thousands of tulips to the enrapturing colours of fall foliage in November, these gardens delight guests the whole year through even with musical and culinary highlights, as for instance the “imperial” brunches, called Breakfast at Sissi’s, or the topclass world music of the evocative Garden Nights series, the Friday evenings in summer that last until 11 p.m. and again some wine tours that include a viewing of the largest and almost certainly oldest vine in the world, the Versoaln at Katzenzungen Castle in Prissian.

Trauttmansdorff Castle sits enthroned in the centre of the gardens: this imposing structure, where Empress Elisabeth would come to stay during the winter, now houses the South Tyrol Museum of Tourism, a.k.a. Touriseum.

The Touriseum

The permanent exhibition on the history of tourism

In the beautiful Trauttmansdorff Castle near Merano, once the residence of Empress Elisabeth, there is now also an exciting adventure museum: the South Tyrolean Regional Museum of Tourism, affectionately known as the Touriseum.
This museum is the first of its kind in the Alpine region and is dedicated to the history of tourism. The Touriseum is a place that holds charm, irony and unexpected discoveries. The heart of this museum is the tour through 20 rooms, which invites you on an entertaining journey through 250 years of tourism history in the Alps. In the process, history is illuminated from the perspective of both the travellers and the region they visited.

🍂 We can’t wait to enjoy views like this again!😍
When the Sonnenberg mountain glows in golden light and the leaves turn warm and colorful… pure magic. ✨ Autumn in Naturnos has its own special charm – crisp air, wide open views, and nature slowing down.

💛 Who else is dreaming of golden mountain moments?
