The Laubengasse in Merano saw its construction around 1200 at the request of Meinhard II. Since then, this arcaded alley has been considered the longest lane of its kind in Tyrol. Today, the Merano arcades are widely known for their shopping opportunities.
After leaving your train at St. Moritz Station you may enter the city by the Via Serlas. This is a shopping street with a lot of high-class trade marks. Another fascinating building is the Badrutt’s Palace, a five stars hotel with remarkable facade.
