Trento Travel Forum

I searched on few sites for places worth visit in and near Trento but i'm not satisfied with the informations yet.It would be gr8 if someone very familiar with the place in and around italy could give me more details.How far is milan from trento.Actually i'll be visiting as a student,so i would like to save money as much as possible. Please guide.

do you like snowboarding or skiing?if so, u can take the little train up to Male and head to Marilleva. From Marilleva u can ski/snowboard to Andalo, Madonna di Campiglio (I love it there!)

or are u more interested in visiting a town? I really like Bolzano/Bozen, it's pretty close to Trento and the Austrian border.

I agree with giampiero! To go to Milan it tooks 4/5 hours of train and 40 euros, more or less! If you like skying and you are a student DON'T go to Madonna di Campiglio, it is very beautiful (it is true but also very expansive...it is the most expensive skying station of all the alps! I think that for you the best place to go for skying is Paganella, it is a mountain near Andalo e Molveno, which are quite good skying stations. There are many buses from trento to get there. And then also Monte Bondone, is a small skying station but quite good for us (students).
If you don't mind skying, there is the beautiful garda lake to visit...have a look on internet at the sites of Malcesine, Riva del Garda, Limone sul Garda...there are beautiful landscapes. Also Monte Balso is quite good for a walk ride.
Then, as giampiero said, Verona is one of the most intresting cities of nordern italy, I think. Just one hour of train and 16 euros a/r. And then Venice is quite near trento, just 2,5 hours of train and 10 euros a/r. Have a look at www.trenitalia.com
And then Bolzano is also quite good to visit.
For the night life trento is not such a enjoying city, but all aroud there are some nice pubs and discos: i don't know which kind of night entertainement you like, if you want I know very well the zone, ask me what you want.
