Brescia and Trentino are two provinces in northern Italy. This week we were invited to an event where both destinations were presented. We have to say that Northern Italy is beautiful and invites more visits. If you may be cautious about travelling right now, we offer inspiration for the future.

Event at the Sheraton Hotel
The event we were invited to was at the Sheraton hotel in Stockholm. We wondered if it would be cancelled because of the pandemic, but it was not. Representatives from Brescia and Trentino arrived, wearing masks and with hand sanitiser at the ready. The chairs had been sparsely placed and the strategy had changed from a buffet to a sit-down dinner. It was very nice!

Brescia
The province of Brescia is located around the city of Brescia in northern Italy. It is home to three beautiful lakes: Lake Garda, Lake Iseo and Lake Idro. The province also boasts 3 Unesco world heritage sites, 90 castles, 4 wine regions, 13 Michelin-starred restaurants, 4 geothermal spas, 7 ski resorts and 113 ski slopes.
We have really nice memories from this area, not least from Lake Garda and Lake Iseo, which we found to be fantastically beautiful. We have never visited the city of Brescia, but from the pictures we saw it seems to be an interesting destination.

Trentino
Trentino is also a province in northern Italy, with the city of Trento as its capital. There are plenty of great ski resorts, among other things. The province also has several mountain lakes, various wellness experiences and opportunities for cycling adventures in the mountains. In the city of Trento you can experience Renaissance and Baroque architecture, the city's impressive castle and Italian food and wine.

- Primo piatto: Mushroom risotto
- Secondo piatto: Fried chicken breast with roasted potatoes and vegetables
- Dessert: Tiramisu

That event with the good food would have been right up my street. Very funny that they chose to hold the meeting after all and with table food instead of a buffet. Something you should always do if you ask me.
Northern Italy is beautiful in both summer and winter. Have been to Brescia many, many years ago and skied in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

Helena says:
Really nice! And I also like table service better than buffet! Great that you have been in these regions both summer and winter, a nice part of Italy!

Ditte says:
Have been several times in both regions both spring, autumn and winter. There has been a lot of skiing in the area and several visits around Lake Garda. When possible, we are happy to return. And is eager to again take the train from Switzerland and over to Italy and the areas here.
Glad that the event took place. And this week there will be another travel event and fun to see how you think here in current times. Nice in itself, I work a lot with travel but right now it is "quiet".

Yes, are you thinking about the fair? Yes, it will be interesting to see how it turns out!

Kors och Tvärs says:
Visited the area very many times. A favourite is Levico-Terme. An absolutely wonderful little village with a campsite, right on the edge of the lake. There I ate the best prosciuttio I have ever tasted!
Glad that the event took place!
