Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
It's essential to keep realistic expectations for your travel budget. Many people think they can visit Trento cheaply, but most travelers aren't comfortable with an extreme "shoestring" budget. Consider what you truly enjoy on vacation. Do you prefer resorts, vacation homes, or hostels? Is experiencing attractions and dining important to you? Your budget and itinerary will depend on your answers to these questions.
What Defines a Budget Traveler?
You might consider yourself a budget traveler, but if you're not ready to give up some comforts, prepare to spend a lot more than the $86 per day that younger budget travelers manage.
Backpackers will usually stick to this shoestring budget by staying in hostel dorms, dining at the cheapest spots such as fast food places, using public transit, and mostly visiting free attractions.
The culinary scene is a major highlight for those visiting Trento, but budget travelers often eat street food or cook for themselves in hostels, which can mean missing out on delicious local dishes.
So, are you average?
If you're a couple or family taking a fun trip, you'll probably prefer a mid-range hotel, enjoy meals at favorite restaurants, and visit the main museums and attractions that require entry fees.

Fresh ingredients, expert culinary skill, friendly service--The Two Swords works to bring fine dining to a whole new level.

Countless hotels provide breakfast as part of your stay, but some will add it as an additional fee. The price and quality can change based on the hotel. Being informed ahead of time can aid in deciding whether to budget extra funds. You might enjoy the delightful buffet offered at the hotel, or perhaps a more economical option would be a nearby bakery or cafe.

The mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Trento as well as the seat of the Bishopric of Trent until 1802, the Trento Cathedral is a key landmark for those that intend to visit the city. Built roughly during the sixteenth century, the Trento Cathedral was meant to honor Saint Vigilius, a patron saint of the city. Commissioned by Bishop Frederico Wanga, architect Adamo d'Arogno constructed the new Lombard-Romanesque church. Though the construction withstood a century, the Gothic style of the architecture is indefinitely present. The Trento Cathedral holds many cherished pieces of ancient art and architecture, such as fourteenth-century frescoes, the stone statue of the Madonna degli Annegati, relics of the local martyrs like Sisinius, Marturius and Alexander, and works from painter Ludovico Dorigny. The Trento Cathedral is truly a sight to behold and is guarded by the iconic Fountain of Neptune. From dusk until dawn, the Trento Cathedral is open to the public except during noon, where the church schedules a two-hour closure. Located in the center of the city at the end of the Piazza Duomo, the Cathedral is only about a 10-minute walk or short bus ride from the Trento Railway Station.
