Lake Garda, Lombardy 213 ft
Lively and picturesque with a stunning location
The peninsula of Sirmione stretches
out from the southern shore of Lake
Garda. The entrance to the Old Town
is via the bridge of the 13th Century
Scaligeri 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 a luxuriant
vegetation of olive trees, cypresses,
laurels and magnolias. 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. Sirmione is well placed for sightseeing and frequent boat and hydrofoil services connect it to other lakeside resorts.
