Trento
Trentino-Alto AdigeTrento is the capital of Trentino, an elegant city nestled in the mountains north of Lake Garda. Known for the Council of Trent (1545-1563) that marked its history, the city retains a historic center full of frescoed palaces, churches and Renaissance squares of rare beauty.
Buonconsiglio Castle, the residence of prince-bishops for more than five centuries, is the city’s landmark monument with its Cycle of Months frescoes. MUSE, the Science Museum designed by Renzo Piano, is one of Italy’s most innovative cultural attractions with its sustainable architecture and interactive exhibits.
Trento is the perfect starting point for those coming from the north to Lake Garda, about 40 km away. The city also offers a rich food and wine tradition with speck, dumplings, strudel, and Trentodoc wines.
