Tips for Rainy Days

If you happen to catch one of the rare days during your stay (in Tramin the sun shines nine months of the year),
when Peter opens the floodgates, here are some tips and pointers:

Sleep longer than usual – have a leisurely and hearty breakfast. Take care of the promised holiday greetings or any pending phone calls at home. You can get postcards with stamps, among other places, at the tourist office. Invite your table neighbors to a card game – time flies when playing cards, and it’s fun!

To visit

Wine cellars, Distilleries, Museums, castles, the cities of Bolzano (Ötzi Museum, Natural History Museum, Laubengasse, Runkelstein Castle, Sigmundskron-Firmian Castle), Merano (Merano Thermal Baths, Gardens of Trauttmansdorff Castle, Tirol Castle, Women’s Museum) and Trento (historic city center, Buonconsiglio Castle).

And of course… our Hoamet-Tramin-Museum! History, landscape, economy, and culture are the areas of the Tramin Museum, with particular focuses on archaeology, contemporary history, viticulture, carnival, household, crafts, and geology. Also worth seeing are the large historical exhibition of Gewürztraminer from around the world and the 240-million-year-old footprint of an archosaur.

Shopping in Bolzano

Through the fusion of German and Italian culture, you can experience a Mediterranean and Alpine way of life in the narrow streets and squares, a special blend of cultural, historical, and culinary offerings. Beneath the old arcades, there are also several shops such as fashion boutiques, mountaineering stores, as well as the well-known fruit market in the center of Bolzano. Every Saturday morning there is the large flea market at Victory Square, and on Friday the farmers’ market. The shops are also open on Saturday afternoons. Come visit!
