Reaching Trento: Airplane

The nearest airports- in order of proximity- are Verona, Brescia, Bergamo, Venice and Milan. In order of importance, the list is basically reversed, being Milan, Venice, Verona, Bergamo and Brescia. Usually, once at the airport, one continues to Trento taking a train from the nearest station. Notice that in this case we strongly recommend to purchase tickets at the railway-ticket offices in the airport upon arrival, in order to avoid lines at the railway station.

Milan

Milan has two international airports: Linate (mostly for European and internal flights) and La Malpensa (mostly for overseas flights). Once at the airport there is a bus shuttle service to Milano Centrale railway station (about 25 min. from Linate and 1 hr 15 min. from La Malpensa). From there one can take a train to Trento via Verona. Some trains are direct; you may also consider the possibility to catch a train to Verona and from there another one to Trento.
Venice
Venice has an international airport (Marco Polo) located in the nearby city of Mestre. Once there, a bus service to the railway station in Mestre (25 minutes) is provided; from there you can catch a train to Trento via Verona, or alternatively, the direct Valsugana line to Trento.
Verona
Verona international airport Valerio Catullo, has daily flights to and from many European cities including Paris, London, Munich and Barcellona, as well as several flights to Rome and other major Italian cities. Once at the airport, there is a bus shuttle service to Verona railway station Porta Nuova (there is also the possibility to go there by taxi for about 20 euro). From there, there are trains to Trento every 60 minutes. This is probably the most convenient airport for reaching Trento, and overseas travellers should consider the possibility to fly to Verona via London (Gatwick), Paris, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, or Frankfort.
Bergamo/Brescia
Bergamo (Orio al Serio) and Brescia (Gabriele D'Annunzio) airports, are small airports which provide slots for cheap flight carriers from and to several European cities. A bus shuttle to the railway station of Bergamo and Brescia is provided. Next one can catch a train to Trento via Verona.
