Trento City Guide And Airport Transfer Service

The city of Trento or Trentino will amaze you with its dual landscape. On one end, you see the majestic Alpine peaks while on the other end of the city is the glistening Lake Garda. The historical buildings stand tall to speak the past from the Middle Ages when it wasn't a part of the Italian province.

The town is situated in the Adige River valley in the Trentino-Alto/Südtirol region. The current capital city of the autonomous region of Trento was once a part of the Austria-Hungary region. Trento was overpowered by the Romans in the 1st Century BC. Much later in 1027, Conrad II, the Holy Roman Emperor built the Prince-Bishop of Trento. The city was under his reign late until the 19th Century. A fight at Calliano in the 15th century prevented forces from the Republic of Venice from entering some of the Trentino regions. After the fall of Napoleon's Empire, Trento was then assigned to the Habsburg Empire. This Italian city was adversely affected by World War I and a bunch of fierce battles were fought on this land. At the end of the war, Trento and the area around it were annexed to Italy by signing the Treaty of Saint-Germain, in 1919.

The city was under the rule of the Roman emperor for a long time, hence the houses, lanes and residential set-ups have a Romanic influence. For nature lovers, Trento is heaven. With majestic valleys, crystal-like lakes, and stunning peaks of the Alpine mountain range that offer gorgeous sunsets, Trento's sights are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Dolomites, when shining bright at sundown, create a spectacular light effect, it is called “alpenglow” or “enrosadira.” These Dolomites are the perfect grounds for skiing and other outdoor activities. Tourists enjoy a hike up the peak mostly during the summers.  

The authentic old town houses the oldest monuments and buildings that stand proudly to tell the history of the city. The walls of these monuments are studded with Renaissance frescoes and other architectural works. Trento's shopping game is quite intriguing too. With daily markets that offer all the local things, the weekly markets have all the articrafts, paintings, and other souvenirs to take home. The culinary experience in Trento is equally fun as sightseeing. Desserts are the most enjoyed food in the city. Fresh apples make the best dry cakes and other savoury delicacies. The Dolomites are not only good at attracting tourists, but they also house dairy farms where luscious cheeses are made. 

Piazza Duomo, Orrido Di Ponte Alto, Cattedrale di San Vigilio, Torre Aquila, Via Belenzani, Medieval Bell Tower of Sopramonte, and Santa Margherita Gate are all the historical monuments that depict the past of the town. You will be surprised by the wide range of events and activities this city offers. Delicious food and drinks, outdoor events, lakes and mountains, hikes, shopping, markets, and monuments, and the people, all welcome you with warm hearts and open arms.
