About Giardini di Castel Trauttmansdorff

Giardini di Castel Trauttmansdorff is a premier botanical garden and cultural venue in Merano, Italy. Spanning about 12 hectares with 80 garden landscapes and interactive experience stations, it blends nature, art, and music for visitors year-round. The site also houses Touriseum, the Museo Storico dell’Anima Naturale, inside Castel Trauttmansdorff. Whether you’re strolling through lush landscapes or catching a Garden Nights World Music Festival performance by the Water Lily Pond, this venue offers a memorable outdoor experience.

We’ve got you covered on how to visit, where to park, how to reach the gardens by public transit, and where to stay or dine nearby. Think of us as your easy-access insider for Merano’s botanical treasure.

Parking at Giardini di Castel Trauttmansdorff includes four lots (P1–P4): P1 and P2 offer 345 paid spaces (€5/day); P3 and P4 are free. There’s dedicated coach parking near the Visitor Centre for group arrivals. Merano’s city buses (lines 1 and 4) provide convenient transit from the city center and station. The grounds are also connected by the Sissi Path for a scenic approach.
