Outdoor fans have known it for a long time: the university city Trento makes the perfect home base to discover the Italian Alps, from South Tyrol to the Dolomites. Trento is hidden between majestic mountains, endless vineyards, and clear blue lakes and rivers: a gorgeous city where the word mass tourism has not (yet) made it to the dictionary.
It is almost a shame to only stay in the city during a visit to Trento. Almost, because it is a fantastic city to explore. If you do want to discover the area, try one of these 5 day trips.
You have to eat anyway, so make sure it’s good, right? In Bari (Italy), there are so many places to eat that I get lost. Which restaurant should I go to? Check out my experiences with food in Bari here: good and bad.
The narrow streets with tall buildings retain the smell of food and clean laundry. The paving stones are almost spotless. Every day, the local residents faithfully clean the street in front of their houses in Bari Vecchia, the old town of the Italian port city of Bari. I’m in the heel of Italy, discovering Bari’s sights even in November in sandals. 20°C!
Alcúdia is a favorite holiday destination for sun-sea-beach lovers. No wonder: there are no less than 10 kilometers of sandy beach. A day trip is a good idea if you stay at a different island place. Combine the beach with visiting the old town and the colorful sculpture garden.
The Formentor peninsula on Mallorca guarantees an outing full of ohs and ahs because it is beautiful. The raging sea of waves hits the enormous cliffs, and the sharp turns challenge drivers and cyclists. You’ll be amazed by the spectacle, so definitely put Formentor on your Mallorca bucket list!
What could be better than going on a holiday during a holiday? That is exactly why I like to add a day trip to Formentera to my holiday on Ibiza. Rent a scooter and visit the beaches, love it!
I maneuver my quad through the back roads of Ibiza in search of the best lookout points. I would have preferred to write ‘I skillfully maneuver my quad,’ but it takes some practice to control an ATV on bumpy roads.
