Nestled in the mountains, two hours from the Austrian border and in the valley of the Adige River, the town of Trento can be found. The city is famous for being the location of the Council of Trent. A highly developed, modern city Trento is also a bustling university town with lots to see and do.
Trento is a major financial, political, scientific and educational center in northern Italy, and a part of the richest region in the country, so not surprisingly it is well connected transportation-wise. The main train that operates within the city connects Verona to Bologna and the Brennero/Brenner-Munich lines.
There are also lines connecting to Padova and Venice that can be used by visitors. State and private buses also operate in the area making it easy to reach Trento from anywhere else in the region. Those planning to drive to Trento should take the SS47 Highway, which connects to the city of Padova, or the A22/E45, which connects the city to Innsbruck to the north through Bolzano and to Verona in the South.
