TRENTO
Trento lies at 190 metres altitude in the wide glacial Adige river valley, in the heart of the natural and historical itineraries between lake Garda and the Dolomites. The city has a rich history and represents a crossroads between the contrasting cultures of the Mediterranean world and Northern Europe. Thanks to its positions, the area has developed with an open-minded outlook towards the outside world and increased its potentials in terms of resources and opportunities.
Trento and its surroundings are full of extraordinary beauty, with unique mountains (as the Dolomites, included in Unesco World Heritage in 2009) and nearly 300 lakes, scattered across the region and offering a mouthwatering range of holiday experiences. Visitors can take a break from the ordinary life and enjoy the relaxing natural environment. The region also offers a unique opportunity also for people who prefer a more action-packed experience and exciting outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, windsurfing, rafting or climbing.
Events such as exhibitions, traditional costume festivals, typical markets, historical and international festivals usually take place in the city centre but also up in the mountains as the popular Sounds of Dolomites, a seducing music festival that each summer attracts thousands of visitors.
