Relocating to Italy: Bolzano or Trento?
Ciao a tutti!
I apologize if my post is not in the right place, but I am having a dilemma.
I (25M) got offered a tech job in Bolzano and I will need to relocate (I come from an Eastern European country) to either Bolzano (or nearby towns) or Trento (and commute to Bolzano). I was wondering which one of these two cities would you recommend for a young adult expat couple (both 25, no kids)?
Let me offer you some additional info to see what l am looking for exactly:
Safety, I have been working in Rome and Milano and although I have never had a problem I still value the safety of my city, to be able to walk at night around the city centre or neighborhoods and not be bothered by homeless people or drug addicts, which has been a difficulty in both of those cities.
Activities, we are an outdoorsy couple we enjoy skiing, mountain biking and hiking so I would like to have quick and facile access to these even with public transportation. Nightlife is not an issue, we enjoy quiet walks around the parks, rivers, lakes, etc.
Cozyness. We loved the feeling of small quiet alpine town while we visited Trentino-Alto-Adige region, especially in San Candido, so I would like to have this in the city I will be relocating.
I don't mind language barriers, I am comfortable both with Italian and German. I would love to hear and consider any other options close to Bolzano which might fit my description!
TL/DR: where to move, Bolzano or Trento? (In terms of safety - walking alone at night, homeless people, drug use; outdoor activities; cozyness)
