About Trentino

The Trentino region might not have the most recognisable name in Italian geography, but we bet you all recognise ‘The Dolomites’ and ‘ Lake Garda ’, and those two very familiar points on the map mark out the north and south of Trentino. Skiers, hikers, bikers and climbers are naturally drawn here, as are sailors, poets, authors, and anyone inspired by a spectacular landscape. Trentino’s major centres, Trento, Riva del Garda , and Rovereto, aren’t necessarily the best places to stay in Trentino, but they’re lively cites, with memorable architecture that reflects the many cultures that have converged here: Austria, Germany and Italy. Our picks for the best places to stay in Trentino include fabulous mountain chalets, luxurious spa hotels, lake-side retreats, family-friendly ski resorts, and cosy B&Bs. And properties with some seriously incredible views!

If you’re heading to Trentino for the skiing, you’re probably en route towards the Sella Ronda, a spectacular wintersports hub and the start of a myriad of routes. We have recommended a couple of gorgeous ski chalets in Madonna di Campiglio , and some great ski hotels in Passo del Tonale and San Martino di Castrozza. Come the warmer months, the same areas are much loved by hikers, bikers and climbers. Between these alpine spots and the lake to the south, are a number of National Parks, including the Stelio National Park. There’s also the Non Valley, known for its high altitude apple growing, and the beautiful Sole and Sugana Valleys, the later the route of the old Roman road through the alps, the Via Claudia Augusta. This whole region is also known for its grapes, and the sparking wines produced from them, which is one of the reasons we recommend the best places to stay in Trentino to foodies, especially come autumn.

Riva del Garda is Trentino’s southern border, but the northern tip of Lake Garda, and definitely the most dramatic end. Riva del Garda is surrounded by rocky cliffs on three sides, with the serenity of the lake marking out the fourth. Turn corners in amongst Riva’s historic architecture and you’ll suddenly come upon breathtaking views. This is an obvious choice as one of the best places to stay in Trentino for a relaxing or romantic break, but it’s also surprisingly beachy and still a great choice for an active holiday — especially for families.

The Best Places to Stay in Trentino

For the views.

• The Biohotel Hermitage is in a picturesque spot, just outside of Madonna di Campiglio, a short shuttle-bus ride from town, and from the nearest ski lift. This hotel’s 25 rooms and suites have some of the best views around, overlooking a wooded valley, with peaks and glaciers beyond. All of the rooms have huge windows, and most have a balcony or terrace too. The restaurant has a Michelin star, and a fantastic wine list, while still managing to be family-friendly. Skiers will appreciate the impressive après-ski spa and food offering.
• Large and luxurious, the Lefay Resort & Spa Dolomiti is secluded within a wooded valley, but with spectacular views from the huge windows of its 88 rooms and suites. This is a stunning place to appreciate the majesty of the Dolomites. The spa is included in the name, and is as impressive as that accolade suggests, with a long treatment menu and beautifully designed facilities. The views from the hotel pool are really something, and the restaurant offers gourmet dining.
• La Mirandola is a charmingly rustic choice, close to the ski lifts in Passo del Tonale. If you enjoy the cosiness of chalet chic, La Mirandola may be for you, with its exposed stone walls, blonde-wood floors and exposed beams. The cavern-like restaurant is especially atmospheric, and the menu of local classics makes it an easy choice for guests. There’s also a spa, and a terrace with a view. 29 rooms and suites, including family-sized options.

For Chalet Charm

• Madonna di Campiglio’s Boutique Hotel Diana is a charming chalet style hotel, with a fairytale tower, plenty of blonde wood inside and out, and an extensive spa. Its 27 rooms and suites are all unique. When it comes to practical facilities, we like the Hotel Diana for its warm welcome, spa facilities and superb restaurant.
• The Hotel Chalet del Sogno is another charming chalet in Madonna di Campiglio, built from local stone and plenty of blonde wood. Its 18 rooms and suites are very spacious, with pine detailing, and private balconies. The restaurant offers hearty, family-friendly fare in a welcoming atmosphere — ideal for groups as well as families. There’s an excellent spa with a pool and sauna. Just 25 metres from the piste.

For Romance

• The Villa Orso Grigio is magically positioned on the top of a hill, overlooking the Val di Non, and the alps beyond. Outside the beautiful villa-style building are park-like gardens, and each of the ten rooms and suites has its own private little section. The rooms are all individually decorated, with traditional alpine touches like wood-panelled walls, tapestries, and weighty, cosy fabrics. Some of the rooms have their own harman too. The hotel also has a pool, an elegant lounge and cigar room, and an excellent restaurant specialising in traditional local fare. Secluded feeling, but still very convenient for skiers or walkers.
• Madonna di Campiglio’s DV Boutique Hotel is our pick for style: a 20 room boutique-style hotel with carefully designed rooms featuring plenty of wood, leather and furs, plus an excellent spa and restaurant. We love the cosy bar, and favour rooms with private balconies with wonderful views, plus private saunas and wood stoves. It’s romantic, but family-friendly too.

For Families

• The Alp & Wellness Sport Hotel Panorama is dreamily positioned in Far della Paganella, surrounded by the Dolomites. Its 59 rooms and suites offer affordable luxury, with lots of natural materials in natural, muted colours. As well as romantic choices the hotel has some excellent family-sized suites. There’s an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool, clay tennis courts, a spa, and a fine-dining restaurant. Parents will appreciate the local ski school, kids club and babysitting service. The hotel also offers tennis coaching, and use of their e-bikes.
• The Hotel Letizia is a quintessentially traditional chalet in San Martino di Castrozza, at the foot of Pale di San Martino ski slopes. If your taste runs to wooden panelling and pine furniture, gingham and chintz, balconies overlooking the alps, cosy lighting, local alpine cuisine, and open fireplaces, the Hotel Letizia is probably just up your alley. There are 34 rooms and suites, some with magnificent pine four-poster beds, and some large enough to fit your family. There’s also an excellent spa and hamman, and a kids club.

For a Rural Retreat

• The Chalet Alpenrose is a cosy chalet within the boundaries of the Stelio National Park. The alpine views are second to none, and while the traditional chalet-windows aren’t huge, there are plenty of wonderful vantage points. Inside you'll find lots of pine, including decorative pine ceilings in some of the 19 rooms and suites, exposed beams, and plenty of quaintly carved, honey-coloured furniture. The sun deck, spa and sauna are all great places to relax, and there’s a Tyrolean restaurant.
• The Hotel Elda is positioned between Lake Garda and the Dolomites, surrounded by lush, green views. This is an eco-friendly hotel, with just 17 rooms and suites, simply decorated in a pale colour scheme, with the odd bit of design furnishing. We like the cosy lounge with its open fire. The restaurant has an Eastern European twist. Inside there’s a spa, and outside there’s a pool.

For an Active Break

• Garni on the Rock in Arco is the perfect spot if you are into climbing! You can show off your skills on the perpendicular rock face behind the property or check out the indoor boulder room. Rooms are minimal, with great mountain views. There’s also a spa with a hammam and sauna, perfect for after climbing. The hotel has guest bikes too.

For Great Value

• The Hotel Garni Laurino is a fabulous country house hotel in the pretty, rural town of Cavalese. Converted from a charming villa, the hotel now has 12 guest rooms, which include doubles, suites and whole apartments, all decorated with comfortable, contemporary simplicity. The communal areas are more historic, with wonderful original tile stoves, wood-panelled ceilings and walls, and plenty of original artwork. The largest apartments sleep up to six, and have everything you need to self-cater. Outside, the hotel has a huge garden, and just beyond the town is the Paneveggio Natural Park, with its hiking trails up mountains and past waterfalls.
• The Hotel Caffe Centrale is a great value choice in Mezzocorona, in the heart of the Dolomites. The handful of rooms are light, yet cosy, decorated with plenty of white paint and blonde wood. Our favourites have incredible views of the mountains. If you're here for the slopes you’ll be grateful for the spa, complete with sauna, steam bath, whirlpool bath, and a pool. We also rate the restaurant and its wine list.
• The Villa Kofler is a romantic choice in Campitello di Fassa. Its rooms are decorated in a range of styles, all with flair and contemporary detail. Guests also benefit from a large spa, and an Asian fusion restaurant. Great for skiers.

Best B&Bs

• Magically positioned at the foot of the Dolomites, with a particularly awe-inspiring crag the main view from some of its windows, the Stella Alpina is both spectacular and very affordable. There are just five rooms, including two apartments with kitchens, which are ideal for families. You are five minutes walk from a connection to the Sella Ronda ski region — or walking and cycling region in summer. There’s no restaurant, but they do offer breakfast, and they have an excellent wine cellar.

The hotel has its own parking which is free. There is always an available parking spot.

It felt super relaxed with plenty spaces to relax outside either at the sun-beds or the igloo-rooms and read, drink or just enjoy the mountain view. The stuff was friendly, polite, helpful and eager on providing information for the best possible stay. Good breakfast variety with Italian delicacies. The room was clean with limited mountain view due to the trees but it felt good to listen to the flow of the river, the birds and the rustling of leaves.

Il bagno era grande, pulito e con una bellissima doccia. All'arrivo si riceve una bottiglia d'acqua in omaggio. Il servizio di deposito bagagli ha funzionato bene al mio arrivo prima del check-in.

By Author Rossi Thomson

Posted on Last updated: 4th September 2022

Categories Coffee in Italy , Day Trips in Italy , Trentino

Here are ten cities and towns that you need to visit in Trentino, Italy.

Trentino is an autonomous province in the north of italy where both italian and german are spoken. .

It is a place of mighty mountains, deep valleys, and crystal-clear lakes . With its dramatic landscape and lush, unspoiled nature, Trentino seems very much plucked from a fairytale.

This is a land with a millennial history and a cuisine that is a mix of Tyrolean and Italian influences. It is a destination that is so worth visiting, especially if you want to escape the dense tourist crowds that besiege Italy’s tourist magnets like Venice , Rome, and Florence.

If Trentino sounds like a place where you would like to spend a break alternating some quality sightseeing with lots of fresh-air activities, then this list will come in handy. It introduces you to Trentino’s best cities and towns where you can base yourself to enjoy immediate access to the local landmarks, festivals, art, food, sports pursuits, and even spa facilities.

For each city and town in Trentino below, I have listed the best things to do there and insider tips to make your visit so much more enriching. 

Several of these ten cities and towns in Trentino, Italy are very close to one another. For example, Riva del Garda (point 3 below) is right next door to Arco (point 4) and Nago-Torbole (point 8) and is also within an easy distance from Trento (point 1) and Rovereto (point 2). At the end of this blog post, there is a map showing you the exact location of each city and town. There is also a small section with some practical information and insider tips about travelling to and within Trentino, Italy. This way, you can easily plan day trips and see as much as possible during your Trentino holiday.   

Over the six years that I spent living in Italy , I loved exploring Trentino time and time again. It is an absolutely beautiful corner of Italy which inspires you to see more, do more, eat and live better. It is my pleasure to share with you now everything I learned about Trentino’s best cities and towns. I hope that this blog post will come in useful when you are planning your own escape to Trentino, Italy.

Have a look!

10 cities and towns to visit in trentino, italy (with map, photos, and insider tips)  .

Trento is the capital of the Province of Trentino. Surrounded by lush nature, it is a beautiful city to visit, especially if you love history. This is where the Council of Trent was held in the 16th century starting the Catholic Reformation. 

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Trento in Trentino, Italy:

• Buonconsiglio Castle – this is an immense castle that was originally built in the 13th century and then it was enlarged several times. Most famously, this is where the Council of Trent was held. Nowadays the Buonconsiglio Castle hosts impressive archaeological and art collections. Make sure that you book in advance a visit to its Torre dell’Aquila to admire the stunning frescoes inside. Known as the Cycle of the Months, they date to the late Middle Ages and depict the rural activities that people engaged in throughout the year. 
• Duomo – this is Trento’s imposing cathedral. It presents a striking mix of Romanesque and Gothic architecture and is dedicated to Trento’s patron and first bishop – St. Vigilius. Pay the small entrance fee to access the Duomo’s crypt. This is where you can see the remnants of a late-Roman basilica on top of which the cathedral was built between the 12th and the 13th centuries.
• Piazza Duomo – this is one of the loveliest squares in Italy. It stands right next to Trento’s Duomo. The piazza is surrounded by beautiful frescoed buildings. The 18th-century Fountain of Neptune is its crowning glory. Stop for a coffee and a pastry at one of the many cafes at Piazza Duomo. It’s a great spot for people- and architecture-watching.
• MUSE – this is a fantastic science museum that keeps both adults and kids happily entertained for hours. 
• Orrido di Ponte Alto – this is a spectacular gorge with a 40-m tall waterfall hurtling through it. Click here to see a video I took standing on the bridge behind the waterfall.

Insider Tip:

Take the cable car from Trento up to the small village of Sardagna. The journey is brief but incredibly exciting as the small cable car zips you 400 m up in the air from the shore of the river Adige to the steep hill of Sardagna. Once there, you can go for a hike or simply enjoy the stunning views over Trento. Here is a video I took showing you what to expect. 

2. Rovereto

Rovereto is a hidden gem in the north of Italy. This beautiful city has deep layers of history, one of the best modern and contemporary art collections in Europe, and a picture-perfect historic centre. Rovereto is where the famous composer Mozart performed his first concert in Italy on Christmas Day 1769. Plus, Italy’s oldest coffee roasting company has been serving perfect cups of coffee since 1790 in Rovereto’s historic centre.

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Rovereto in Trentino, Italy: 

• MART – the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto houses one of the most impressive art collections in Europe. (Almost) equally impressive is its building with its covered courtyard and wonderful architecture.  
• Italian War History Museum – this is one of the largest and most important museums in Italy dedicated to the First World War and the act of war. It is housed in the 15th-century Castle of Rovereto. It is a very well-curated museum with a rich collection of artefacts. It is incredibly informative and in a way very emotional as it provokes so many questions in your head about the worst and the best in human nature.
• Depero’s Futurist Art House – Fortunato Depero’ was a futurist painter, writer, sculptor, and graphic designer. He grew in Rovereto and bequeathed to the city an incredible art collection counting over 3,000 pieces. A visit to the Futurist Art House was always a highlight for me when in Rovereto. Depero’s art is very impactful and the way he used shape and colour was way ahead of his time. 
• Church of San Marco – this beautiful church stands on a sunlit square in the historic centre of Rovereto. It was built in the 15th century when Rovereto was within the confines of the Republic of Venice. Inside it, you can see the organ on which Mozart gave his first concert in Italy. 
• Bell of the Fallen – this is the largest bell in the world to sound at full peal. It was cast in 1924 with bronze from cannons donated by all the nations that fought in the First World War. The bell was baptised with the name Maria Dolens. It stands on Colle di Miravalle – a hill with panoramic views over the city of Rovereto. Book a visit at dusk when the Bell of the Fallen rings 100 times in a salute to those who have fallen in war. 

For a cup of some of the best coffee in Italy, head to Bontadi . This is a historic coffee shop right behind the Fountain of Neptune on Piazza Cesare Battisti in Rovereto’s historic centre. Founded in 1790, Bontadi is Italy’s oldest coffee roasting company. Nowadays, the company also runs a barista academy and has a small but incredibly interesting museum dedicated to all things coffee. The museum is just around the corner from Bontadi’s coffee shop in Rovereto and is a must-see, especially if you love coffee.

3. Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda is an elegant town on the northern extremity of Italy’s largest lake – Lago di Garda . This lakefront beauty has a splendid historic centre where Austrian influences mix with Italian flair. In the dramatic hills and mountains around, there are many hiking paths and dozens of opportunities to get active. Above all, Riva del Garda commands some of the best beaches on Lake Garda . 

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Riva del Garda in Trentino, Italy:  

• Rocca di Riva – this is a medieval fortress that stands on a small artificial island in the historic centre of the city. It’s surrounded by water on all sides and a small bridge leads to its entrance. Nowadays the fortress is one of the two structures housing the exhibits of the Museum of Upper Garda . Spend time exploring the archaeological, historical, and art sections here for a deeper understanding of the history and traditions of this corner of Trentino, Italy.   
• Torre Apponale – this is a 13th-century clocktower that dominates the skyline of Riva del Garda. Scale its 165 steps to admire panoramic views of the town and the lake from a height of 34 m.
• Bastione and Funicular – the Bastione is an early-16th century fort that stands above Riva del Garda on the slopes of Mount Rocchetta. A brand new panoramic lift transports you from the town’s historic centre up to the fort. The views are striking and you can continue to enjoy them from the bar and restaurant which nowadays operate inside the Bastione.  
• Quartiere del Marocco – this is the oldest part of Riva del Garda. It dates back to the Middle Ages. The large houses here stand against the slopes of Mount Rocchetta. 
• Mount Brione – this is the rocky hill that separates Riva del Garda from the neighbouring town of Torbole. We always joked that Mount Brione looked like someone had dropped a whole cake or a massive Oreo biscuit there and it half sunk into the lake while the other half got stuck almost upright in the air. A hiking path leads from Riva del Garda to the summit of Mount Brione. Up there you can enjoy fantastic panoramic views of Lake Garda and also see the forts that were built there between 1860 and the First World War. 
• Cascata Varone – this is a stunning waterfall tumbling down inside a steep gorge. There are two viewing platforms – in the Lower Cave and in the Upper Cave – allowing you to admire the sheet of water crashing down the rocks. A beautiful natural park surrounds the caves and opens panoramic views over the northern extremity of Lake Garda.

Porta di San Giuseppe in the historic centre of Riva del Garda was once one of the oldest churches in town. The Church of San Giuseppe (also known as the Church of Disciplini) was erected in the 16th century at the place where a hermit had lived in the 13th century. It had marble altars and many works of art. In recent times, the church was deconsecrated and hollowed. Nowadays, it serves as a pedestrian crossing – a sort of tunnel on a crossroads in the historic centre of Riva del Garda. Its facade is preserved and inside you can see the church’s original pillars and a small, quite damaged fresco.

Arco is an elegant town just off the northern extremity of Italy’s largest lake – Lago di Garda . Surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs, Arco has a ruined castle and several beautiful churches and palaces. The town has a very Tyrolean feel to it and it is interesting to note that the Habsburg Court used to spend the summers here when this part of Italy was under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Empress Sisi herself would come to Arco, too.

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Arco in Trentino, Italy:

• Arco Castle – this is the ruined castle overlooking Arco from the top of a steep spur. Hiking up to the top is more than worth it as the views over the Sarca Valley and the northern extremity of Lake Garda are soul-inspiring.
• Galleria Civica Giovanni Segantini – you will find it in the 17th-century Palazzo dei Panni – one of the most beautiful buildings in the historic centre of Arco.
• Arboretum of Arco – a small arboretum and botanical garden with over 150 varieties of plants from all around the world. It’s free to visit.
• Lake Tenno – this is a small lake a short drive away from Arco. It’s famous for its turquoise colour. A hike around it takes about an hour. In summer, people sunbathe on its shores and take refreshing dips in its crystal-clear waters.
• Lake Ledro – this is another stunning lake near Arco. It’s very peaceful and quiet here. Plus, there is a small but very interesting museum telling the story of the stilt houses that once stood on the lakeshore. They were built by a pre-historic community. 
• Maso Eden – a bio farm in Trentino. It has a herd of fluffy llamas and alpacas and it organises forest hikes in the company of these cute and (mostly) very good-natured animals.

Head to Canale’ di Tenno. Poised at 600 m above sea level, this small hamlet dates back to at least the early 13th century. Recognised as one of Italy’s most beautiful villages, Canale’ di Tenno preserves its original architecture. Tall houses made of stone and cobbled streets converge together to create a dreamy vision of times past. Canale’ di Tenno attracts artists from all over Italy and Europe and the village has a decidedly artistic feel to it. The local Casa degli Artists (House of the Artists) is where painters, sculptors, and other creators take residences throughout the year. Several festivals and a lively Christmas market take place each year here, too. Rango is another nearby medieval village to explore.

• 8 Lakes in Trentino, Italy You Have to See for Yourself (With Map and Practical Tips)

Ala is a cute little town with rich history and splendid Baroque palaces. Just a train stop away from Rovereto, it stands off the beaten track yet it has lots of stories to tell and hidden gems to explore. In the past, Ala was a rich merchant town famous all over Europe for the high-quality silk velvets that were produced here. Nowadays, the town keeps its heritage alive by staging large-scale events and a fantastic Christmas market each year.

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Ala in Trentino, Italy:

• Baroque Palaces – these are beautiful large buildings with Baroque architecture and decoration. They were built with the proceeds from the sale of the silk velvets made in Ala in the 17th and 18th centuries. At Christmas each year a large Christmas market is staged all throughout Ala. The stalls of local artisans and makers take over the town’s Baroque palaces. 
• Historic centre – Ala has one of the best-preserved historic centres in Trentino, Italy. Expect cobbled streets and an authentic atmosphere.
• Museo del Pianoforte Antico (Antique Piano Museum) – you will find this unique museum in the Palazzi de’ Pizzini. Here you can see beautiful pianos played by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Schubert. The Palazzi de’ Pizzini is a complex of two palaces and a large house. Many famous people have spent the night here during their time in Ala, Trentino. Among them are Mozart and Napoleon Bonaparte.
• Citta di Velluto – City of Velvet is a large event held each year in July. This is when Ala returns to the 17th century and reenacts its period of maximum splendour. Expect people dressed in Baroque costumes all over town.
• Sanctuary of San Valentino – this is a Baroque church dedicated to St. Valentine who is highly venerated in and around Ala.

Combine your time in Ala with a visit to the nearby Avio Castle . This is one of the oldest fortresses in Trentino and it’s famous for its frescoes on the themes of love and war. The crenellated walls of the castle and its sturdy keep will make you feel like you have been transported back to the Middle Ages. The lush garden is where many events are staged at regular intervals throughout the year. A must-see! 

6. Levico Terme

Levico Terme is a very pretty town on the shores of Lake Levico in Trentino, Italy. It is famous for the local thermal waters. They feed the town’s many thermal baths and spa hotels. Levico Terme has a postcard-perfect town centre and it is surrounded on all sides by lush nature. Lake walks, hiking paths, ski pistes, chairlifts, there are so many options to keep active here.

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Levico Terme in Trentino, Italy:

• Habsburg Park – this is the largest historic park in the Province of Trento. In winter, it hosts Levico Terme’s famous Christmas market. 76 tree varieties and 125 species of shrubs grow here.
• Lake Levico –  this small and beautiful lake is right next door to Levico Terme and shares a name with it. You can go for a circular walk around the lake or enjoy a spot of sunbathing and swimming on a hot day.
• Lake Caldonazzo – this is Trentino’s largest lake. It has beautiful clean beaches. Its water is very warm in summer and it’s a great place to practise all sorts of water sports.
• Valsugana – this is the long and wide valley where Levico Terme is located. It starts from just after the provincial capital of Trento and extends to where the Province of Trentino meets the Province of Vicenza . Valsugana is also the valley where the important for Northern Italy River Brenta is born from the waters of Lake Caldonazzo and the nearby Lake Levico. Apple orchards, raspberry nurseries, and verdant vineyards dot the valley’s plains and hills. It’s very pleasant to travel through it taking in the mighty shapes of the mountain chain of Lagorai and the peaks of the chain Cima XII-Ortigara. Medieval castles and ruins can be glimpsed here and there adding to the rustic fairytale feel of the landscape.
• Panarotta 2002 – a popular ski resort about 10 km away from Levico Terme. It has three chairlifts, a ski school, and a ski rental.
• Arte Sella – this is a contemporary art gallery that is set up in a forest. Each work of art blends and contrasts with its natural environment. You hike from one to the next following a trail through the tall lush trees. 
• Fort Verle and Fort Vezzena – these are Austro-Hungarian forts that were built at the start of the 20th century. This part of Trentino is dotted with old forts. They are very interesting to visit so as to learn first-hand about the complicated history of this corner of Italy. 

Terme di Levico is a large spa centre famous for its thermal spring waters with therapeutic properties. The spa season here runs from April to November.

7. San Martino di Castrozza

San Martino di Castrozza is a beautiful town in Trentino, Italy. In winter it becomes a bustling ski resort. The town is named after St. Martin – the Roman soldier who gave his cloak to a beggar. Castrozza is a corruption of the Latin word castrum meaning a Roman fortress or Roman encampment. 

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around San Martino di Castrozza in Trentino, Italy:

• Pale di San Martino – this is the largest mountain group in the Dolomites. Its jagged rocky peaks feature in many iconic photos of this corner of Italy. Curiously enough, the peaks were once coral reefs at the bottom of a shallow sea! This could explain why they turn a lovely pink colour every day at sunset. Together with Paneveggio, Pale di San Martino forms a large natural park.  
• Paneveggio Forest – this is a beautiful ancient forest populated by tall red spruce trees. The trees produce perfect tonewood which is particularly prized. Legend has it that fabled luthiers like Antonio Stradivari and Nicola Amati personally sourced the tonewood for their priceless violins from Paneveggio. 
• Small Dairy Farms – driving and hiking around San Martino di Castrozza, you will come across many small dairy farms. Known as malga in Italian, they produce wonderful local cheeses. Plus, many of them also function as restaurants serving delicious local dishes. A special mention deserve Agritur Malga Rolle . 
• Colbricon Lakes – these are two small lakes surrounded by mountain peaks in the heart of the Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Nature Park in Trentino, Italy. You can only reach them on foot. The most popular hike to the lakes starts from Agritur Malga Rolle – an alpine dairy farm with a great restaurant. Walking to the lakes is very pleasant and it takes you through lush forests. With an elevation of 120 m, the hike is easy enough for families with small kids and anyone who loves moving and nature. Archaeological excavations around the Colbricon Lakes have revealed artefacts from Paleolithic and Mesolithic tribes who would spend each summer there 12,000 years ago.
• Vanoi Valley – this is a beautiful area which is known as the Green Heart of Trentino. Its lush landscapes and small villages charm the soul. The Vanoi EcoMuseum explores the history and traditions of this unspoilt green paradise. 

Drive the short distance from San Martino di Castrozza to the Visitors’ Centre Terra Foresta of Paneveggio. It is right in the heart of the Violins’ Forest and has a large car park behind it. Leave the car there and go for a lovely walk through the forest following the Sentiero Marcio’. It’s suitable for all ages and it’s a very beautiful hiking path. Among its many highlights are a Tibetan bridge and also a deer enclosure. A program aiming to reintroduce deer to Paneveggio has been operating for several decades now. The large enclosure is where the animals spend the first year of their lives before being released into the wild.

8. Nago-Torbole

Nago and Torbole are two small towns in Trentino, Italy. As they are right next to one another, nowadays, they are hyphenated and referred to as one. Nago is just above the northern extremity of Lago di Garda – Italy’s largest lake. Torbole is on the lakefront. Both are really cute and a great place to visit if you want to relax surrounded by beautiful nature, sunbathe on the lake’s beaches , engage in some world-class windsurfing and sailing, or hike to structures of natural and historic interest.  

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Nago-Torbole in Trentino, Italy:

• Lakefront Historic Centre of Torbole – expect a wonderful mix of pastel- and brightly-coloured houses offset by the sparkling teal waters of Lake Garda. A special mention here deserves the Old Customs House which was built in the 18th century on the edge of the small harbour. A truly picturesque place!
• Penede Castle – this is a ruined castle with centuries-old history. It offers fantastic panoramic views over Lake Garda.
• Busatte-Tempesta Panoramic Path – a truly unique hiking path above Lake Garda. Part of it includes metal staircases with 400 steps in total. It feels like you are hanging above the lake and the views are simply stunning.   
• Navene Beach – there are many beaches in and around Torbole on Lake Garda. I particularly love the one at Navene, which is a short driving distance further away from the town. Curved around a small bay, the pebbly beach of Navene has it all. Picnic tables in the shade of an olive grove, a small playground to keep the kids happy, a floating platform to challenge you to swim across to it, a pair of resident swans and a gaggle of ducks, large fish that you can see swimming in the water, plus a couple of benches on the beach to comfortably sit and admire the gorgeous views.  

Head to Marmitte dei Giganti – enormous potholes which were formed when a massive glacier over 1,000 m high slid down from the mountains. The waters from the melting of the glacier rushed through the crevasses in it as powerful waterfalls. They hit the rocks underneath causing a strong swirling of pebbles and stones. This eroded the soft limestone rocks and created the steep cavities of the potholes. You will find Marmitte dei Giganti right next to the panoramic road which leads from Torbole up to Nago. The small car park next to the potholes has fantastic views over the lake and the surrounding mountains. Just bear in mind that to reach the Marmitte dei Giganti from the car park, you’ll need to walk a short distance along the busy road and there is no pavement there. So, exercise utmost caution! 

9. Borgo Valsugana

Borgo Valsugana is a small town in the Valsugana Valley in Trentino, Italy. The River Brenta flows through its historical centre and the striking Castel Telvana (not open to the public) crowns a lush hill above the town. Borgo Valsugana has ancient origins. It was established on Via Claudia Augusta – an important Roman road that connected what nowadays is Northern Italy to Central Europe.  

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Borgo Valsugana in Trentino, Italy:

• Historic Centre of Borgo Valsugana – go for a walk along the main street – Corso Asugum – here and visit the town’s churches, the Great War Museum, and several other local landmarks. I especially enjoyed looking at the crystal clear waters of the River Brenta and the historic houses on its shores.
• Valsugana – this is the long and wide valley where Borgo Valsugana is located. It starts from just after the provincial capital of Trento and extends to where the Province of Trentino meets the Province of Vicenza . Valsugana is also the valley where the important for Northern Italy River Brenta is born from the waters of Lake Caldonazzo and the nearby Lake Levico. Apple orchards, raspberry nurseries, and verdant vineyards dot the valley’s plains and hills. It’s very pleasant to travel through it taking in the mighty shapes of the mountain chain of Lagorai and the peaks of the chain Cima XII-Ortigara. Medieval castles and ruins can be glimpsed here and there adding to the rustic fairytale feel of the landscape.
• Lake Caldonazzo and Lake Levico – just a short distance away from Borgo Valsugana, you can visit two of the most interesting and beautiful lakes in Trentino, Italy. Lake Caldonazzo is also Trentino’s largest lake and is especially lovely as its water is very warm in summer. Lake Levico is small and compact and is a great destination for a full circle, lakefront walk.

If you can, try to visit Borgo Valsugana at the end of July. This is when the famous Palio delle Zattere (in English, race of the rafts) takes place in town. In the past, the zattere were wooden logs that would be sent floating from the mountains down the River Brenta all the way to Venice . There, they would be used in the construction of the lavish Venetian palaces. The Palio nowadays recreates this ancient tradition. Teams from the different neighbourhoods (locally called contrade ) of Borgo Valsugana dress up in medieval garb. Then they compete with one another by sailing upright on tiny rafts down the River Brenta. 

10. Fiera di Primiero

Fiera di Primiero is a small town in Trentino which is a great destination if you love the outdoors. Its houses are dotted around the lush valley of Primiero in the shadow of the Pale di San Martino – the biggest mountain group of the Dolomites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 15th century, the town was part of the Austrian Empire and hosted the most important fair in the whole valley. Hence its name (as fiera in Italian means fair). Most notably, Luigi Negrelli – the first planner of the Suez Canal – was born here in 1799.  

Here is a shortlist of some of the most interesting places you can see and visit in and around Fiera di Primiero in Trentino, Italy:

• Church of Santa Maria Assunta – this is one of the most beautiful churches to visit in the whole of Trentino. Its large frescoes are particularly famous. 
• Palazzo delle Miniere (also known as Palazzo del Dazio )  – this is a large 15th-century building that nowadays hosts important documentation and exhibits about Primiero’s history and traditional crafts. From weaving and spinning to cheese-processing and haymaking, you can find a lot of information here about the local rural activities. Special attention is given to the copper, silver, and iron mines that existed in Primiero during the Late Middle Ages.  
• San Martino di Castrozza, Passo Rolle, and Passo Cereda – visit this beautiful area of Trentino, Italy to ski in winter and to hike and engage in a number of outdoor activities in summer. A special mention here deserve the delicious cheeses produced by the local small dairy farms (called malga in Italian).
• Mezzano Romantica – this is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. It’s famous for its woodpiles which have been elevated to art installations. A new woodpile is added each year and visitors are invited to walk around the village to try and spot all of them. 
• Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino -a large nature park that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The red spruce trees that grow in the Paneveggio forest are especially prized for their perfect tonewood. Legend has it that fabled luthiers like Antonio Stradivari and Nicola Amati personally sourced the tonewood for their priceless violins from Paneveggio. 

Tosella is a fresh curd cheese that was first invented in the Primiero Valley. Give it a try when you are in Fiera di Primiero. It’s delicious quickly pan-fried, grilled or roasted.

Top 20 Things To Do in Trento Italy

1. stroll around the historic centre of trento.

If you’re wondering what to do in Trento, the first thing should be to explore its historic centre. Trento is a Renaissance gem where yesteryear’s tales and secrets lie around every corner.

Today, beautiful frescoed homes mix with cobbled streets to guide you through a classic Italian city centre. Beginning in Piazza Dante , venture through the eye-catching Old Town towards the Buonconsiglio Castle and eventually Piazza Duomo .

Pedestrian streets blend in with the slow-moving traffic to create a calm atmosphere. Locals sip on espressos and the aromas dance out of some of Trento’s best restaurants. As always, don’t be afraid to wander and get lost. Trento’s narrow passageways are full of charm.

Take this guided walking tour to dive into the depths of Trento’s history.

2. Feel La Dolce Vita at Piazza Duomo

After exploring the historic centre in depth, stick around and enjoy the sweet life at Trento’s main square, Piazza del Duomo. The atmosphere here draws you in. You can also count on the people-watching being equally good as the square’s popular sites.

When you aren’t admiring the local lifestyle, you can gaze up at the impressive Duomo di Trento, the Cathedral of San Vigilio that stands on the square’s edge. On your way towards it, you’ll likely pass the alluring Neptune Fountain that was originally built in 1768. 

Another highlight of the square is the Palazzo Pretorio . Dating back to the 12th century, Torre Civica is one of the most elegant towers in Trento.

3. Catch Your Breath at Piazza Dante

A short walk from Trento’s train station, Piazza Dante presents a great contrast to the bustling Piazza Duomo. Where the latter is full of activity, culture and architecture, Piazza Dante heads the other way.

It’s more of an open green space , where families gather and you can catch your breath after a busy start to your time here. The open gardens are perfect for basking in the sun, enjoying a picnic or simply watching the world go by.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some enticing facades to admire. This is still Italy. Here, you can check out the Grand Hotel Trento , Palazzo della Regione and the statue of Dante Alighieri .

4. Visit Castello del Buonconsiglio

On your trek through the historic centre, be sure to spare plenty of time for Castello del Buonconsiglio, one of the best places to visit in Trento. From the 1200s to the late 18 th century, royalty lived here and it remains the largest castle in the region. Renovations mixed with changing architectural styles from different eras have led to an enormous complex that is all things medieval, Renaissance and Baroque.

As you explore, you’ll be struck by the imposing Torre Aquila , which is embellished with secular art. Within the fortress, you’ll also have time to enjoy Magno Palazzo and all of its Middle Age frescoes, alongside the beautiful garden. Last but not least, you’ll have the chance to enjoy a spectacular view from the castle’s terraces.

For opening hours and ticket prices, visit the official website .

5. Ride The Cable Car To Admire Epic Views

Speaking of views, nothing can beat nearby Sardagna . On the banks of the River Adige, a cable car soars up to the heavens, connecting the valley to the lofty town of Sardagna. Set on the precipice of Mount Bondone, this town is hundreds of metres above the world below. 

If you’re looking for a way to admire the beauty and scenery of Trento and the surrounding area from above, then this is the way to do it. From the viewing platform , not only can you experience the best views of the historic centre, but also the rolling river that courses through the spectacular Adige River valley.

The cable car begins in the morning and continues until night. Stay late and enjoy the best sunset in town. Check out ticket prices, timetables and the location of the cable car station here .

6. Sample The Exquisite Trento DOC Wine

Using traditional techniques, Trento DOC produces a vibrant, sparkling wine made purely of Trentino grapes . Harvested by hand, this is a lengthy process, one that has been handed down from generation to generation.

Months, even years, can pass to create a bottle that is up to their high standards. It’s a wine that represents the region’s landscapes, which span from high altitude to the warmth of the Mediterranean climate. 

Throughout the year, Trento DOC holds tasting events. Tours with wine tastings will also take you on-site and around one of Italy’s best wine regions.

7. Savour Delicious Italian Food

Trento’s location in the Dolomite Alps and its history as a part of Austria has led to a fascinating mix of eats that creates a new take on one of the world’s favourite cuisines .

The restaurant-to-population ratio in Trento is large. Some of the best we tried are Al Vò , with classic Dolomite cuisine including vegetarian dishes, and Green Tower if you’re itching for some fresh pizza.

Lastly, there’s Fosterbrau . This restaurant is a zesty mix of Italian and Austrian food with great vegetarian options. The beer is cold, there’s canederli, a northern Italian version of the knodel, and yes, pretzels.

Experience Trento’s authentic cuisine by dining at a local’s home for a memorable experience.

8. Eat Your Weight in Gelato

You’ll never be far from a gelateria when in Trento. In fact, you could find a dozen within the historic centre. You really can’t go wrong wherever you go. However, our favourite was Gelateria Cherry Trento , primarily because of the unique flavours they offer, such as fior di latte and pistachio .

9. Walk Along Via Belenzani

The wide-open Via Belenzani spans out from Piazza Duomo and marks yet another path to wander down. It’s famous because of the painted facades that act like an open-air gallery as you walk along. 

Historic palaces stand alongside each other, each decorated with intricate murals and frescoes. These span various eras and artistic styles. There are stories to discover, from historical tales to mythological motifs, while some of the art is purely a delightful addition to the building’s architectural design. The street is an artistic rainbow with its own restaurants, shops and gelaterias.

10. Discover The Quaintest Cafés

Italy has long had a strong coffee culture . An espresso is more than just a morning pick-me-up. It brings people together. It’s simply a way of life. Wander any of the Italian cities and you’ll see the older generations huddled at the bar sipping tiny cups of coffee. Squares are lined with families and friends, bringing a coffee-fueled conviviality to the atmosphere.

It’s no different here in Trento. In fact, you could argue it’s more poignant. Caffe al Castel , is a great place to dine on sweet treats and sip your cappuccino as you look up to the sprawling Buonconsiglio Castle. 

The charming La Vie en Rose combines amazing coffee with vegan cuisine (plus delightful decor). To top it off, Casa del Caffe faces the colourful townhouses along Via S. Pietro.

11. Get in The Depths of Trento’s Past

Guests staying at any of the accredited hotels in Trento will receive a Trentino Guest Card . This unlocks many of the town’s main attractions, allowing you to dive into its past and visit many of the top Trento attractions at a discount.

A part of Trento’s history that you’ll quickly become enchanted with dates back to the Roman times. This is best exemplified by the city of Tridentum . This Roman city lies beneath the very streets of Trento and excavations have unlocked an ancient world waiting for you to visit.

The slow progress of time allows you to venture through various eras from the Middle Ages, Renaissance and more recent centuries.

12. Explore The Museo Diocesano

If you’re still wondering what to do in Trento, your journey into Trento’s past doesn’t stop at Tridentum. You’ll have more opportunities with a visit to the Museo Diocesano Tridentino. The Tridentine Diocesan Museum is found within the Palazzo Pretorio on the edge of Piazza del Duomo.

Head inside to discover a rich treasure trove of religious artefacts, artworks and carved masterpieces . The permanent collection spans over 800 years, with works from the 13th to the 19th centuries, some dating as back as the 11th century.

You can see how artistic styles and wood carving techniques have shifted throughout time. Beyond that, you can uncover historic manuscripts, golden embroideries and sumptuous Flemish tapestries .

For opening hours and ticket prices, click here .

13. Don’t Skip The MUSE

The variation of exhibits makes a visit to the MUSE (Museum of Sciences of Trento) one of the best things to do in Trento for families. There are plenty of historic buildings in such a small town. But this museum is much more modern, designed by Renzo Piano and having been built in 2013.

Within is a captivating science museum spread across multiple levels. Each takes you to a unique landscape. These include local mountain geology to prehistoric climates, flower-rich fields and glacial expanses. The museum is very interactive , with several experiences that require all the senses. It helps to bring the museum to life.

Plan your visit to the MUSE here .

14. Enjoy a Riverside Walk

Coursing through Trento is the Adige River . Just outside of the historic centre you can make your way to the water’s edge and enjoy a nice early morning or evening riverside walk.

The trail guides you through the valley towards Ponte San Lorenzo . This is an old-time bridge with magnificent views along the river towards the ancient Chiesa di Sant Apollinaire . It’s been a religious site since the 500s, with the current church dating back to the 13th century. Continue past the Palazzo delle Albere , the MUSE and eventually the Le Albere pedestrian bridge .

15. See The Quirkiest Tunnels

One of the more unique things to do in Trento is to discover its quirky tunnels. It’s a case of fantastic urban renewal that has transformed two road tunnels into happening exhibition spaces.

The two tunnels, Galleria Nera and Galleria Bianca (Black and White tunnels) are now art and event spaces that have captured the hearts of locals. Galleria Nera is renowned for its large-scale installations. Galleria Bianca is used primarily for events. Temporary exhibitions are, of course, always changing, so there’s always something new to see.

16. Head To Piazza Fiera

Just a short stroll from Piazza Duomo is another popular square renowned for its bustling Christmas markets . Enveloped in old architecture and medieval fortress walls, Piazza Fiera feels like a warm hug.

Throughout the year, it’s a square with a great atmosphere. Crowds gather at dusk to enjoy the restaurants and get a nightcap. However, it goes to another level from mid-November to early January. This is when the Mercatini Di Natale takes place, transforming the square into a veritable winter wonderland.

17. Climb Up Doss Trento

You’ve stretched your legs in town, so why not do the same in the mountainside? We use the term mountain loosely as it’s more like a small hill. But we digress.

Trails take you up to Doss Trento, the perfect place to enjoy some lively views of the city below. However, the true highlight is the Cesare Battisti Mausoleum .

A hero of the Irredentist Movement, which allowed Trento to join Italy, Battisti was captured by the Austrians before the movement was complete. He now rests in the mausoleum that features 16 gorgeous marble columns.

18. Step Inside Teatro Sociale

Fancy a date night in Trento? Then book a pair of tickets to see a live show at the Teatro Sociale. Set within a historic palace, the theatre dates back to 1819 and has become a part of local folklore.

The Teatro Sociale ran shows continuously (outside of wartime) up until 1989 when it underwent 11 years of renovations. It has since regained its status as the most prestigious theatre in the region, where at any given night almost 700 theatregoers can gather in unison.

19. Be Amazed by The Orrido di Ponte Alto

Just ten minutes from the historic centre, in the town of Cognola , the amazing natural setting of the Orrido di Ponte Alto is worth visiting. Prepare to be captivated by the duo of tumble waterfalls that surge down 40 metres into a tapering gorge.

Fenced walkways guide you up the canyon’s face to various viewpoints, some directly above the falls. They provide all the excitement of rock climbing without the fear of falling. All visitors require a guide. But the fun history, such as the site’s 16th-century hydraulics , makes it worth having a knowledgeable companion.

20. Plan a Day Trip To Lake Garda

Lake Garda, the largest lake in Italy , is around 90 minutes south of Trento. The gleaming, deep blue lake makes for the perfect day trip. But that’s before you factor in the surrounding mountains that envelope the water’s edge.

Travellers can head out early and make their way to the lakeside town of Riva del Garda on the northern shores. Spend some time exploring the adorable town before venturing onto the lake. You’ll have all the options for adventure at your disposal, from kayaks and SUPs to catamaran tours.

This full-day guided tour gives you a taste of several gorgeous villages scattered around Lake Garda.

The northern Italian region of Trentino comprises glittering lakes, craggy mountains, and pretty towns. While Lake Garda is the most famous body of water here, this alpine municipality has hundreds of postcard-perfect corners to explore.

Whether you’re holidaying in Garda and wondering what else is out there or you’re keen to sidestep the throngs (and new tourist tax) altogether, there's plenty more to see here. Beyond its glassy lagoons, Trentino encapsulates the Brenta Dolomites, the part of the mountain range designated a UNESCO World Heritage site .

In the autonomous capital of Trento, wander cobbled streets, flitting between aperitivo bars and shops, admire the frescoes inside its medieval castle, or hike in the hills. Choose to either base yourself in Trento or park up on the sparkling shores of one of the below lagos and check into a boutique hotel, where epic views come as standard.

Lakes Caldonazzo and Levico

Just 10 minutes apart by car, Caldonazzo and Levico in the Sugana Valley have watersports and spa culture nailed down between them. Caldonazzo offers kayaking, windsurfing, SUP and waterskiing (the only lake in Trentino to do so). Onshore, you can rent a bike and explore the waterfront or simply relax at one of its Blue Flag beaches . Pizzeria Ristorante Riviera cooks up a storm; whether it’s a fresh, hand-pulled pizza or seafood linguine you’re craving, leave room for dessert.

After lunch, traverse the smaller Lake Levico, another fine lagoon with beach bars and restaurants, soft lawns for sunbathing, and watersports. As a guest at Parc Hotel du Lac , you can access a private beach (most useful during the peak summer months). You’ll find regional dishes and Italian crowd-pleasers on the à la carte menu in La Taverna downstairs. Alternatively, indulge in Levico’s renowned spa culture at Hotel Ambassador in the forest between the lake and town.

A 20-minute drive (or three-hour walk) from Lake Garda’s northern town of Riva, Lago di Ledro is a quieter alternative, with a Blue Flag beach, watersports and miles of hiking and cycling trails. It’s most famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Bronze Age village, discovered in 1929. Pop along to see replicas of the stilt huts people lived in thousands of years ago and learn more inside the museum, which regularly organises events and activities.

Back towards Riva, learn how the warm winds from Garda ( l’Ora di Garda ) create a Mediterranean climate in the mountains, enabling olive cultivation at Maso Botes , one of Europe’s northernmost olive groves.

Hotel Lido sits on Lake Ledro’s shores and has simple yet quintessentially alpine rooms, a handful of which have balconies overlooking the lake. Ledro is also a great option for self-catering holidays, with camping, guesthouses and a supermarket.

Lake Molveno

Crowned Italy ’s most beautiful lake for the seventh consecutive year in 2024, Lake Molveno has five Blue Flag beaches on its shores, and you could be mistaken for chilling on a Thai island in summer with its dense forests, white beaches and cyan hue. Sit back and enjoy the Spiaggia Lago di Molveno view with an Aperol spritz, or take a romantic boat ride to a more secluded spot.

Located 800m above sea level, Molveno enjoys highs of 24C in July , hot enough for sunbathing and comfortable for a lap around the lake on foot or bike. With a bike park, public lido, tennis courts, and a mini golf course on the waterfront, families and couples love spending sunny days on Lake Molveno.

Michelin Guide restaurant El Filò pays homage to the Austrian influence on the local cuisine in an intimate alpine chalet. Stay at Alpenresort Belvedere for contemporary rooms with lake views, wellness facilities, and an à la carte restaurant with an open wine cellar.

Also known as il lago azzuro (‘the blue lake’), tiny Tenno is officially Italy’s cleanest lake and takes the colour turquoise to a whole new level – it’s impossible to resist a swim. Above it lies the Medieval village of Canale, voted one of the country's prettiest villages . Walk or drive there from the lake and take an hour to explore the houses and museums before a panini and a pint at one of the tavernas. After exploring this blue diamond, take a ride out to Cantina Pravis , a family vineyard of divine beauty, for an afternoon tour and tastings (book in advance) overlooking the vines and surrounding dolomites.

Lake Tenno has a handful of hotels nearby, but Trento is only a 25-minute drive away and has more options. Though built in the 16th century, Villa Madruzzo , suspended above the city, oozes 1920s glamour. In its new Belvedere wing, gaze out over the city and surrounding vineyards from your balcony or in the spa downstairs. Dine inside the original villa or head to town for regional dishes in Trento’s old square at Scrigno del Duomo .

The secret Italian lakes to add to your bucket list

The northern Italian region of Trentino comprises glittering lakes, craggy mountains, and pretty towns. While Lake Garda is the most famous body of water here, this alpine municipality has hundreds of postcard-perfect corners to explore.

Whether you’re holidaying in Garda and wondering what else is out there or you’re keen to sidestep the throngs (and new tourist tax) altogether, there's plenty more to see here. Beyond its glassy lagoons, Trentino encapsulates the Brenta Dolomites, the part of the mountain range designated a UNESCO World Heritage site .

In the autonomous capital of Trento, wander cobbled streets, flitting between aperitivo bars and shops, admire the frescoes inside its medieval castle, or hike in the hills. Choose to either base yourself in Trento or park up on the sparkling shores of one of the below lagos and check into a boutique hotel, where epic views come as standard.
