With its 156 kilometres of shores, Lake Garda is an ideal spot for all kinds of holidays, thanks to the variety of landscapes, vegetation, culture and traditions you can find here. That’s why millions of people come to this area every year. The northern part of the lake is just perfect for mountain enthusiasts: it is enclosed by sheer cliffs, where alpine flora reigns supreme. Those who prefer the Mediterranean environment will enjoy the southern area: here the lake stretches out in a round blue basin, surrounded by rolling hills where olive trees, vines, oleanders and agaves grow. The lake offers many opportunities to enjoy various activities: lovers of windsurfing and trekking will find ideal conditions in the north, while the south is perfect for fans of mountain biking and thermal baths. These are just a few examples of what to do on Lake Garda.
The shores, studded with villages and small towns, add charm to the beauty of the rich natural environment: in the south, the villages lie in lovely inlets, while in the north they nestle between the lake and the mountains.
Dante, Goethe, Rilke, Klimt, Corot, Joyce, Carducci, D’Annunzio, Callas are just some of the artists and celebrities who spent time on Lake Garda, in some cases deciding to live here for the rest of their lives. Here we suggest two guided tours, which will allow you to fully enjoy the wonderful surroundings of the lake in only one day.

On the coast belonging to the province of Brescia, there are several lovely villages that make Lake Garda so charming. Here are just a few examples. Sirmione is a striking medieval village, protected at its entrance by a fortress on the lake, while at the end of this peninsula you find the national archaeological site of Catullo’s Grottoes, showing the remains of an immense Roman villa. Worth visiting is certainly Gardone Riviera, where Gabriele D’Annunzio (1863-1938), leading figure of the Italian Decadent movement, built his majestic residence, the well-known Vittoriale degli Italiani. We heartily recommend a tour of Salò, a small town in liberty style where you can still feel the atmosphere of the Belle Époque, sitting in one of the many lounge bars on the waterfront. In Desenzano, another popular tourist destination, the absolute must-sees are the amazing mosaics in the ancient Roman villa and the “Last Supper”, a fine painting by Giambattista Tiepolo located in the Duomo of Santa Maria Maddalena.
We cannot forget the local products: on Lake Garda, you can taste delicious fresh-water fish, PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) olive oils, high quality wines, lemons and citrons.
