The Touriseum and the Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle represent a single attraction. The entry ticket is valid for both. Animals are not allowed.
Time scheduling:
We recommend you to schedule enough time for a visit of the gardens, as in the area including 12 hectares there is much to discover and explore. For this reason we recommend you to stay around 3 to 6 hours, but of course you can also perfectly spend one whole day.

- by public means of transport: international train connections to Bolzano, regional train to Merano, from station take city bus n° 4 or 1B
