Starting from Piazza Garibaldi, the tour follows a circular route that takes in 18 points of interest that the children must discover by keeping their eyes peeled . At each stop, there are small tasks to complete, such as observing, drawing, and answering simple questions.
At the same time, participants learn about the history of the city’s palaces, churches, economy, and development. It’s a great way to learn while playing and having fun. At the end, they’ll solve a crossword puzzle that reveals the mystery word. The duration of the activity varies, but allow at least an hour and a half to complete the entire game.
The Pergine School Museum
The museum’s layout was designed to recreate the atmosphere of days gone by. On display here are a vast number of original objects, tools, and materials from Trentino schools. To better step into the shoes of a schoolchild from that era, visitors can put on school aprons and then set off to explore the classrooms, which are furnished just as they were back then.
