Trento Highlights

• The 24 hour Trento Card (€10) grants admission to all the major town sights and can be purchased at the tourist office or any museum. The card provides a number of other perks, including tours, free public transportation, wine tastings, and the cable car ride to Belvedere di Sardagna; a sensational lookout point 1,200 feet above medieval Trento.
• The massive Romanesque Duomo, also known as the Cathedral of San Vigilio, forms the southern edge of the Piazza del Duomo. Locals refer to this square as the city's salotto 'sitting room'.
• The Palazzo delle Albere holds a museum with works in the permanent collection that date from the 19th and 20th centuries.
• Locals refer to Via to Belenzani as Trento's outdoor gallery because of the frescoed facades of the hallmark Renaissance palazzi.
• Head to the morning market in Piazza Alessandro where you can pick up meats, cheeses, produce, local truffles, and porcini mushrooms.
• Seek out the traditional taverns and restaurants offering gourmet experiences and the chance to taste traditional dishes, while cellars and distilleries are readily available for a sip of excellent wine or Trentino grappa.
• Visit the ancient Roman city of Tridentum which lies beneath much of Trento's city centre. Centuries of Adige River flooding buried ruins that have only recently been unearthed on public and private land. Beneath this piazza lies the largest of the archaeological sites, revealing some marvels of Roman technology.
