TrentoCapital of Trentino, not far from the Dolomites and the numerous lakes that can be found near by, Trento is a city of art that has a strong Renaissance mark, which characterises it for its colors, its buildings and make it unique in the entire Alpine arc. Trento is able to surprise as it always presents itself in a new form, maintaining at the same time close links to tradition. Visitors throughout the various seasons can admire its many folded facets: "Città in giardino" after the awakening of spring, its tasty products in the autumn period, kept alive by its historical reenactments during the S Vigilio festival at the end of June or illuminated by the "warm" Christmas market lights during Advent. Home to the Council of Trent (1545 1563), it has always been a bridge between the Italian and Central European culture. The city offers a lot to the keen visitor from its many historical to artistic aspects: from the underground archaeological site of the Tridentum dating back to the Roman period, to the Cathedral’s palaeochristian Basilica in the basement and its beautiful square, walking amongst Renaissance palazzi, churches and the Castello del Buonconsiglio, home for many centuries to the Princebishops of Trento.
Monte BondoneMonte Bondone, a few kilometers away from the city, is an important nature reserve of specific botanic nature that makes this mountain unique. This lead to the opening of the Botanical Alpine Garden, one of the most important in the Alps, and the "Nature reserve of the Tre Cime del Monte Bondone". This tourist destination offers numerous possibilities for walks in the summer, whilst in the winter it turns into a paradise for lovers of skiing and winter sports.
