Florence, Rome, Venice and Milan are the bestsellers among Italian city breaks. Year-round season, an international clientele and therefore often higher prices. But Italy - no surprise - has even more to offer. Five cities that are almost an insider tip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Away from the well-known metropolises, charming old towns beckon, whose winding alleyways can be explored without the crowds. Historical treasures can be found everywhere in Italy - also thanks to the Romans - and the food tastes extra good at normal prices. From north to south: these cities between the Alps and the Mediterranean are particularly worth a visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trento, the capital of Trentino in north-east Italy, combines Italian elegance with Habsburg heritage. The city is nestled between the peaks of the Dolomites and offers a mixture of Alpine tradition and Mediterranean lightness. Anyone strolling through the historic old town will sense the special flair: colourful palazzi, elegant arcades and a touch of Austrian history.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cathedral Square with the Fountain of Neptune - the Fontana del Nettuno - is one of the most beautiful squares in Italy and is home to the Cathedral of Trento, the Cathedral of San Viglio. The Council of Trent was held here in the middle of the 16th century and had historical significance for the Counter-Reformation. Right next to it is the Castello del Buonconsiglio, a magnificent castle on a rocky outcrop to the north of the old town centre, which was the seat of the prince-bishops for centuries. Trento also has a lot to offer in terms of cuisine: Specialities such as canederli (dumplings), carne salada (meat salad), torta di patate (potato pancakes) or the famous Trentino wine. The cuisine combines hearty Alpine influences with Mediterranean sophistication. Trento is a good starting point for nature lovers: the Dolomites are right next door and offer countless opportunities for hiking, skiing or simply enjoying the breathtaking mountain scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
