Trentino-Alto Adige seems to be the northern Italian region that remains hushed but has actually some features that say a lot. Bounded by relatively popular counterparts and having other European countries as neighbours, Trentino-Alto Adige disguises itself as a typical and fertile agricultural land not as visited often by outsiders. However, thanks to its natural topography, travellers can actually enjoy the Italian countryside in celebration and without much hassle.
Unlike other regions in the country, Trentino-Alto Adige only consists of two provinces, Trento and Bolzano. These provinces make Trentino-Alto Adige an accessible, convenient and exciting destination for tourists who cannot stay for a long time to further their vacations. In the province of Trento, honeymooners and weekend travellers can definitely enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes, some of the more notable including Tenno Lake and Ledro Lake in the town of Riva del Garda.
Meanwhile, tourists in Bolzano can discover various structures and monuments that are reminders of the place’s Austrian and Italian heritages. For those who have the appetite to linger in museums, South Tyrol Archaeological Museum is a good stop for discovering relevant artefacts and interestingly, the Iceman mummy called Ötzi. Meanwhile, cathedral and castle enthusiasts can spend time touring Bolzano’s Roncolo castle, Firmiano castle, or the Gothic cathedral in the area.
Apart from the major sights in its two provinces, Trentino-Alto Adige is known for hosting a variety of sports activities. Amateur and professionals can surely enjoy trying out the sport engagements in the area such as soccer, hockey, and handball. Transportation is likewise not an issue for those staying longer in Trentino-Alto Adige, as the provinces are pretty much linked to the airport, which connects to the key cities, and to the railway that serves not only Italy but also neighbouring countries like Germany.
