The peninsula of Sirmione, Italy stretches out from the southern shore of Lake Garda. The entrance to the Old Town is via the bridge of the 13th Century Scaligero Castle with its 'inland dock'. The colourful, narrow streets are full of interesting shops, restaurants and bars, but are refreshingly traffic-free. As you venture further into the peninsula, the bustling streets give way to a peaceful landscape with luxuriant vegetation of olive trees, cypresses, laurels and magnolias.

Things to do in Sirmione

A panoramic walk along the shore takes you past bathing beaches to the tip of the peninsula where an old Roman Palace, the Grottos of Catullo, has been excavated. Holidays in Sirmione can also be about relaxing and pampering yourself if you choose to take in the thermal pools of the lakeside Aquaria Spa.

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