Trento: Piazza del Duomo - Muse - Cima Marzola (1740m) - Monte Bondone - Adige
Trento occupies the broad floor of the Adige Valley in Trentino. The Adige, Italy’s second-longest river, runs through the city on its route from the Alps to the Adriatic. Above the western side of the valley rises Monte Bondone, while Cima Marzola reaches 1,740 metres to the southeast. Piazza del Duomo forms the historic heart, marked by Trento Cathedral and the Fountain of Neptune. The city hosted the Council of Trent between 1545 and 1563, a defining event of the Catholic Reformation. South of the centre, MUSE is Trento’s science museum, designed by Renzo Piano and opened in 2013; its contemporary complex underscores the city’s role as Trentino’s administrative and cultural centre.

Its character is distinctly multilingual: Italian and German are official languages, while Ladin remains in use in several Dolomite valleys.
