Visit the charming mountain town Merano - known for thermal spas - and day-trip over the border into Austria for an exciting visit to Innsbruck, the capital of the Alps. Spend a day in Bolzano, where you can experience Italian and Germanic cultures, and visit the Museum of Archeology to see the Ötzi Iceman exhibit - Europe's oldest known mummy - believed to have lived around 3300 BC.
