Rovereto
Spend a half‑day at the MART museum and castle, then explore the town on foot; one full day is enough.
Rovereto is a compact Alpine town of about 40 000 people, well served by train from Trento and Verona. Its main draws are the MART contemporary art museum, the historic Castello di Rovereto (War Museum), and the Dante‑related Ruina Dantesca. All sights lie within walking distance, so a single day covers the highlights.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: Say buongiorno (until mid-afternoon) or buonasera on entering shops and bars; avoid: Walking in and pointing without a greeting
- Cheek kisses: Two kisses, right cheek first, among friends; follow their lead; avoid: Kissing strangers or in business settings
- Dress: Smart-casual in cities; covered shoulders and knees in churches; avoid: Beachwear, bare chests and flip-flops away from the beach
- Queues: At delis and pharmacies take a number (numerino); avoid: Assuming the crowd at a bar counter is chaos — pay at the till first where asked
- Restaurants: Wait to be seated and ask for the bill; avoid: Splitting a bill item by item with a large group
- Conversation: Food, football and family are safe openers; avoid: Mafia jokes and north–south stereotypes
- Dinner at a home: Bring pastries, wine or flowers (not chrysanthemums, which are for funerals); avoid: Refusing seconds too firmly
Scams and watch-outs
- Check museum opening hours (MART open 10:00‑19:00, closed Mondays).
- Bus timetables may vary seasonally; use the OpenMove app.
