Discover Levico Terme

Levico Terme combines a long spa history with distinctive sites of park, architectural and art history, as well as natural attractions by Lago di Levico. If you’re looking for a hotel, considering what you want to focus on during your stay can help you choose a destination: would you mainly like to explore historic sites and art, or are trails and landscapes more your priority? The destination offers clearly distinct themes, from Parco delle Terme to natural sites by the lake. This lets you assess Levico Terme based on specific interests before choosing your accommodation.

Parks, Gardens and Cycling

Parco delle Terme di Levico is the most important historic park in the Province of Trento and was established in the early 20th century. Its paths are accessible to pedestrians and cyclists; motor vehicles are prohibited. This provides a clear guide for planning if you’d like to spend time in the park on foot or by bicycle.

Villa Paradiso houses the permanent exhibition “SPAZI CÓLTI: i giardini nella storia d'occidente” on the history of parks and gardens. The park and exhibition therefore offer different ways to explore the subject of gardens: a historic park and a permanent exhibition. The contrast between an outdoor setting and an exhibition gives a tangible sense of the breadth of this theme.

At a regional level, a scenic cycle path runs through Valsugana, connecting it with Trento and Bassano del Grappa (VI). This offers a distinct regional cycling option; by contrast, the park paths are routes within Parco delle Terme. These represent two different scales: cycling in the park and a route through Valsugana.

Church Architecture and a Tower

Chiesetta di San Biagio is a 13th-century church on the hill of the same name. It preserves 14th-century frescoes by various artists of the Venetian pre-Giotto and Giotto schools. The building and its wall paintings therefore point to two successive centuries. The church also stands at an unexplored archaeological site near an ancient Castelliere. Its architecture, paintings and archaeology offer culture lovers different points of interest.

Torre Belvedere, in the heart of Levico, offers a different architectural perspective. The octagonal tower is 18 metres high, and its external stone spiral staircase is built into the masonry. It was erected in the first half of the 19th century as part of a romantic garden. Its height, floor plan and staircase design are specific features that distinguish the tower from the sacred frescoes of Chiesetta di San Biagio.

Spa History, the Lake and Nature

The town’s history is also connected with spa guests: Terme di Levico has a history spanning more than a century and a half. The first organised stays for spa guests began in Levico Terme in the 19th century. Both the long development of the spa and the start of organised spa stays are therefore part of the town’s historical context.

At the southern end of Lago di Levico lies the Canneto di Levico biotope, a protected area of natural interest. If you’d like to see Levico Terme beyond its historic buildings, this offers a distinct focus on nature.

Strada dei Pescatori starts at the public beach in Parco Segantini in Levico Terme. It follows an unpaved path and can be walked at any time of year. The surface and season answer two different planning questions: you’ll know what kind of path to expect and that the route is accessible year-round.

LakeART offers guided tours and QR codes that visitors can use to explore the artistic and natural aspects of the installations. The installations are located along the route connecting the lakes of Levico Terme and Caldonazzo. The availability of guided tours may vary depending on the schedule; if a tour is important to your visit, check the schedule in advance.

Once you’ve planned your stay around these interests, you can go on to search specifically for hotels in Levico Terme.
