The city of Trento, less crowded than many other Italian destinations, delights travelers with its charming atmosphere and rich history. Founded by Celts and later conquered by Romans, the city presents itself as a cultural hotspot that boasts an ancient canal system and the impressive Castello del Buonconsiglio.

Luca Torta, who has been running a coffee house in Trento for 40 years, contributes to the country's typical quality of life and experiments with different types of coffee. This reflects many people's fascination with the city, which is famous not only for its sights but also for its culinary delights.

Trentino is home to over 300 lakes and is therefore often referred to as Little Finland. The lakes Lago Toblino and Lago Cavedine in the Valle dei Laghi particularly attract visitors. Lake Toblino is known for its romantic castle and lush Mediterranean vegetation, while Lake Cavedine is a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, especially surfers.

Lago Levico is famous for its thermal baths and healing waters, while Lago Caldonazzo, as the largest bathing lake in Trentino, is an attraction for many with a pleasant water temperature of around 22 degrees Celsius (May to October). Lake Caldonazzo is also the only body of water in the region suitable for water skiing and offers a variety of activities such as fishing, sailing and diving.
