Workation in Merano: the essentials
Empress Elisabeth and Franz Kafka both came to Merano for its mild air, and the town in a basin ringed by peaks of up to 3,335 metres still lives partly from spa guests. South Tyrol's second city, with about 41,000 residents, speaks German and Italian and has promenades along the Passer, the Terme Merano baths and the Trauttmansdorff gardens. A cable car runs up to the Merano 2000 ski area, hiking and cycling start at the edge of town, and there are coworking spaces. Trains to Bolzano take about 40 minutes, and Bolzano Airport, about 25 km away, has few routes, so Verona and Innsbruck are more useful. The crowd skews older and nights end early.
