To many North Europeans, Trentino–Alto Adige – Trentino-South Tyrol is the Italian holiday destination numero uno.

And where migrating caravans stop in summer to camp on the banks of Lake Garda and teach their children to play ducks and drakes on the shingle beaches.
Trentino-Alto Adige – Trentino-South Tyrol is a paradise for holiday makers who like the combination of German beer with Italian pizza.
