Clear comparison

Canale di Tenno

Autonomous Province of Trento · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Allow separately for purchases, food, transport and parking. Municipal parking tariffs also apply at Canale and the lake; the market shuttle is a separate service from the walk around the stalls.
Getting there
Use the parking area at Lago di Tenno as the reference point for the final leg, linked to the village by the market shuttle. Combining the lake on foot is a separate outing, including steps down to the water.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Aldo Gorfer Local Development Centre in central Canale opens every market Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, offering free workshops and children’s readings. It provides a specific indoor cultural break for visiting families.
Where to park
The market shuttle connects the Lago di Tenno car park with the village.
Route and accessibility
The footpath down to the water at Lago di Tenno includes steps.

Merano

Autonomous Province of Bolzano · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
The riverside chalets and market squares have free entry. Food, shopping and admission to Terme Merano are separate expenses; a spa ticket is not required to walk through the market.
Getting there
From Merano railway station take urban bus 1, 4 or 5 to “Merano, piazza Teatro”. Continue on foot from Piazza Teatro to the Passirio riverside and Piazza Terme.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Terme Merano, Piazza Terme 9, offers indoor pools with a separate ticket based on the chosen duration and facilities. This is a paid alternative, rather than a free shelter or an attraction included with the market.
Where to park
Terme Merano is a paid car park. Piazzale Prader is free when available: the Friday market takes up the whole square, while parking is restricted in part of it on Tuesdays.
Route and accessibility
Via Galilei and Corso Libertà have reserved spaces within the restricted traffic zone. Register your number plate and submit your disabled parking permit to the Municipality of Merano before driving in.
