All week, this was predicted to be the worst weather day. Sure enough, it was raining when we awoke, so we went with the first item in our “plan B” playbook: a day trip to Trento, roughly 1:40 to the southwest. It was helpful to do some advance research to locate parking outside the ZTL. Siri directed us all the way from Vigo straight into the chosen garage, near the train station and Piazza Dante.

It was still raining when we reached Trento, so we made a beeline for the Buonconsiglio Castle and museum. There are plenty of fascinating exhibits tracing the area’s very long history. We easily could have stayed hours, but by 1pm we were getting hungry.

By the time we’d had a leisurely lunch, the rain had stopped, the sun was coming out and it was actually becoming quite warm. We spent the next several hours following a rough walking tour that included the Piazza Duomo, several other churches and towers and a brief stop across the Adige.
