As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for your trip with a mix of practical guides and inspiring reading:

• Travel Guides:Lonely Planet Italy – Offers a solid overview of Northern Italy and South Tyrol, including Merano, with tips on transport, dining, and cultural etiquette.
• Rick Steves Italy – While not focused on Merano alone, it gives excellent advice on Italian travel basics, train travel, and cultural insights that will help you everywhere in the country.
• Merano and South Tyrol Hiking & Walking Guides (various publishers) – Look for English-language regional walking guides that cover Merano, the surrounding valleys, and easy scenic routes.
• Cultural & Background Reading:The Italians by John Hooper – A very readable introduction to Italian culture, habits, and social life, useful for understanding the country beyond the tourist view.
• History of the Alps (various authors, such as Jon Mathieu) – Any concise history of the Alpine region will help you appreciate Merano’s unique blend of Italian and Austrian influences.
• Online Resources:The official Merano tourist board website (search for “Merano official tourism”) – Offers up-to-date event calendars, spa information, and recommended excursions.
• Hotel Therme Meran’s own website – Check their wellness packages, thermal bath access details, and any seasonal offers for couples.

If you tell me your preferred travel dates and interests (more spa time, food & wine, light hiking, or culture), I can refine this into a more detailed day-by-day plan.
