In Trento on Monday
Exploring the historic city centre, its shopping streets and cultural attractions.
A visit to the Tridentine Diocesan Museum and Cathedral of San Vigilio is a journey into the spiritual and artistic heart of Trento.
The museum houses precious works of sacred art, tapestries and artefacts related to the Council of Trent (1545–1563), offering an insight into the city’s religious history. Next to it, the cathedral overlooks Piazza Duomo, with its Romanesque architecture and symbolic role in the history of Trentino.
Visiting the main churches of Trento means discovering a rich heritage of art, faith and history in the heart of the city.
Santa Maria Maggiore Church, an elegant church closely linked to the Council of Trent, stands out for its imposing architecture and Renaissance details. St Peter’s Church, with its Neo-Gothic style, is a striking presence in the historic city centre. Finally, the Church of the Holy Trinity offers a more intimate atmosphere. There are many other churches in the historic centre that preserve valuable works of art and sacred relics — discover them all.
Trento’s historic city centre is a refined blend of history and architecture, with elegant squares, frescoed palaces and monuments of great artistic value.
Among the most iconic landmarks are Piazza Duomo, with the Cathedral of San Vigilio, the striking Civic Tower, and the majestic Praetorian Palace. The city centre’s streets, such as Via Belenzani, are lined with beautifully frescoed Renaissance buildings, while churches such as Santa Maria Maggiore further enrich the city’s historical and cultural heritage.
Climbing up to Doss Trento is a pleasant experience combining nature and history, ideal for those looking for a short walk with panoramic views over the city of Trento and the Adige Valley.

It is a place where history, nature and panoramic views come together in one experience.
In Trento, a visit to contemporary art galleries such as Raffaelli, Boccanera and Cellar Contemporary offers the opportunity to explore an interesting cultural itinerary.
