“This place is the heart of the old town where everybody meets together. This place is very busy but it’s also a pedestrian area which is very pleasant. If you are in Trento you must absolutely visit this place.”

Another place to see in the city is the MUSE – Science Museum which is an exciting science and technology museum. 

A visitor on Tripadvisor said: “Even if it were not included in the Trentino card, giving us free entrance, this is a museum we would not have missed.

“The building itself is magnificent – opened in 2013 – so very modern in design. Once inside you can see into every floor due to the extensive use of glass.

“There are many hands-on exhibits and all the facilities are very clean and well looked after. 

“There is something in this museum for every age group, and enough variety to spend quite a few hours inside.”
