The story of the "Theater in der Altstadt" was born out of the dream of a student returning from Vienna who met a group of rebellious, courageous amateur actors and theatre lovers in Merano. It was a time of artistic awakening and social change with great, creative potential. The beginnings were full of enthusiasm and pioneering spirit. The road was long and often bumpy, but the result can be seen...
The right behaviour and good manners make visiting cultural sites more enjoyable.
Silent phones and quiet voices make for a better experience – for you and everyone else.
Accessibility matters: Not all cultural sites are fully accessible, but where they are, give priority to those who need it. It’s a matter of dignity – for them and for you.
Check emergency exits and evacuation plans– just in case. If there’s an emergency, stay calm, follow the signs, and head to the assembly point outside.
Most of this might seem obvious – and it is! But a little reminder never hurts. By being calm, mindful, and respectful, you’re making a big difference – for yourself, your surroundings, and future generations.
From the train station, the most convenient option is to board one of the city lines (1 or4) to reach the "Meran, Theaterplatz" stop, followed by a 5-minute walk.
