The bustling resort of Garda in Italy is on the Eastern shore of Lake Garda, where the lake broadens and the scenery becomes gentler. Garda has a backdrop of hills, covered with olive groves, cypress trees and the famous Valpolicella vineyards. In the centre, historic buildings such as the Venetian Palace of the Captains rub shoulders with sophisticated cafés and colourful ice cream parlours which line the wide and attractive tree-lined promenade. Garda hotels allow you to enjoy beautiful views of the lake.

Things to do in Garda

Holidays in Garda offer a variety of pleasant activities: the shopping here is varied and the large lakeside Friday market is a popular tradition. Much of Garda is traffic-free, so you can stroll safely around the old cobbled streets. Regular ferry and hydrofoil services access other lakeside resorts and you can enjoy a delightful lakeside walk to neighbouring Bardolino.

You can also attend the Verona Opera. For more information, see our Verona Opera information >
