Overview

This self - guided walking audio tour uniquely reveals Trento as Italy's gateway to Europe, where ancient Veneti, Etruscan, and Gallic cultures merged with the Holy Roman Empire in a stunning Alpine setting.

You'll journey through eight centuries of history, from the medieval bishopric principality through Renaissance grandeur to modern Italian unity, exploring Roman remains, the historic cathedral, and the magnificent Buonconsiglio Castle.
