This quaint town offers an abundance of activities for visitors, with a lively atmosphere reminiscent of the bustling cities of Italy – such as Rome, Venice, and Milan – but without the hordes of tourists.
This is a big plus, not only because it’s quieter, but also because you won’t find any of the hefty price tags that prevail in the abovementioned cities. This means that everything from accommodation to restaurants, even designer clothes, is much more affordable here, which is helpful if you’re travelling on a budget.
And if you still want to explore the big attractions in towns like Venice, don’t despair: Trento is close enough to make a day trip, being centrally located in the northern region of Italy.
All in all, it’s a great place to explore Italy’s history and culture, as well as enjoy some delicious food and wine, all at a fraction of the cost.
If the sound of a vacation here appeals to you, keep reading for a list of everything else Trento has to offer so you can make the most out of your trip
