Ideas for Lake Garda

Boating on Lake Garda

Lake Garda is Italy's largest lake: wide and open in the south, narrow and framed by mountains in the north. Boat days often link lakeside towns such as Sirmione, Malcesine and Limone, with swim stops along the shore.

Where to go by boat

  • Sirmione

    Peninsula town with a moated castle and Roman villa ruins at its tip.

  • Isola del Garda

    The lake's largest island, with a neo-Gothic villa and gardens.

  • Malcesine

    Eastern-shore village below Monte Baldo, crowned by the Scaliger castle.

  • Limone sul Garda

    Western-shore village known for its historic lemon houses.

Tip: In the northern lake the Pelèr blows from the north in the morning and the Ora from the south in the afternoon, so plan around them and keep clear of ferries and windsurfers.
