Useful tips: the best neighborhoods to stay
Although more expensive, the historic center remains the most convenient choice due to its proximity to the main attractions. Neighborhoods such as San Zeno, Borgo Treno and Valdonega are slightly off-center (but the center is still within walking distance) but with less expensive facilities and easier to find parking .
These areas are also very quiet and peaceful in the evening , ideal for those traveling with children. However, if you want to enjoy an aperitif in the center or a special evening, a 10/15 minute walk is enough to be catapulted into the nightlife.
- Recommended areas to save : Borgo Trento and Valdonega, residential areas inhabited mostly by the locals
- Recommended areas for families with children : San Zeno, a quiet area with all kinds of services, and Citta Antica and Cittadella, a central district full of services and ideal for those who do not like very crowded areas
