Lake Garda, Italy
Lago di Garda, also known as Lake Garda, is located in northern Italy, between Venice and Milan. The lake falls into three regions – Lombardy to the west, Veneto to the east and Tridentino-Upper Adige to the north.
Lago di Garda is Italy’s largest lake, 51.6 kilometres long and 16.7 kilometres wide. It covers an area of over 370 square kilometres.
The lake has a characteristic glacial origin, which is evident in its long and narrow shape, which widens to the south. Many archaeological finds have been discovered in the area of the lake, proving that it was inhabited in prehistoric times. During the Roman era, the area was a popular holiday destination, just as it is today.
The lake is surrounded by many beautiful towns and villages such as Sirmione, Desenzano del Garda, Peschiera del Garda at the southern end, Riva del Garda at the northern end and many more in between. It is bordered by mountains in the north, while it is more flat in the south.

Best trips and things to do at Lago di Garda
1. Sirmione
We start at the very south of Lago di Garda, where Sirmione, the most popular town on the lake, is a must on your list of things to do on Lago di Garda. In summer it is crowded, so to enjoy your visit to the maximum, it is better to arrive in the off-season or early in the morning.
Sirmione is a small town surrounded by olive groves and flower gardens, stretching out into Lago di Garda on a narrow promontory.
The biggest attraction is Scaligero Castle, an imposing medieval castle that dominates the port of Sirmione. The castle was built by the della Scala family in the 13th century for its defense. From the towers and fortress walls, you can enjoy spectacular views of Lake Garda and the surrounding countryside.
At the end of the peninsula lie the remains of a Roman villa known as the Grotte di Catullo. The villa dates back to the period between the end of 1st century BC and the beginning of 1st century AD, making it the largest and best preserved Roman villa in northern Italy.
At the Aquaria Thermal Spa you can relax in the therapeutic thermal springs. At the end of the promontory is Jamaica Beach, where you will feel like you are by the sea. It is one of the most beautiful beaches on Lago di Garda, with facilities and spacious enough to give you some privacy. Just beware that the entrance leads over large flat stones that can be slippery.
Another popular activity in the Sirmione area is a small boat trip, which also takes you to various corners of the peninsula – you can choose between a day cruise or a sunset cruise with a glass of wine.

The car park is located 5 minutes from Rocca di Manerba, but is in the ZTL zone. For this reason, it is better to park more in the city and walk (15 minutes).
Just a short walk from the cliff, on the other side of Lido di Manerba is the small port of Porto Torchio, from where you can reach the islet of Isola dei Conigli. It is special because if there is little water, you can walk here in about 10 minutes.

9. Vittoriale degli Italiani
The Vittoriale degli Italiani is a fascinating historical complex in the town of Gardone Riviera on the western shore of Lake Garda, one of the most beautiful sights to visit on Lake Garda.

The complex includes an extensive park with thoughtfully designed gardens, several buildings filled with artistic and historical treasures, an amphitheatre inspired by ancient Greece and even a warship built into the hill.
You can stroll along the paths, which offer spectacular views of Lake Garda and the surrounding countryside. Set aside a few hours for a visit, there’s a lot to see here. For more information on admission and opening hours, please visit the official website.
10. Parco dell’Alto Garda Bresciano
The Parco dell’Alto Garda Bresciano is a large natural park that stretches along the western shore of Lake Garda, from the mountain peaks to the shores of the lake. If you love hiking, you’ll find plenty to do here thanks to the kilometres of hiking trails that take you through green forests, waterfalls to rocky ridges with spectacular views of the lake.
Along the shoreline, picturesque villages are scattered in the rocks, which, thanks to their location, offer magnificent views of the red roofs of the houses in contrast with the deep blue colour of the lake. Here you can visit gardens full of lemon trees (for free or for a small fee) – for example in Gargan or Tignale, where local lemon products are made.
Santuario di Montecastello is one of the most beautiful places to visit on the west shore of Lago di Garda. The sanctuary is located on an elevated hill, from where you can enjoy spectacular views. You can drive all the way to the church. For one of the best views of the lake, follow the trail behind the church (sturdy shoes required – rocky and steep terrain), where you will have the lake in the foreground with the church in the palm of your hand.
11. Tremosine sul Garda
Tremosine sul Garda is a picturesque mountain town surrounded by the protected nature of the Parco dell’Alto Garda Bresciano. It is made up of several small villages scattered in the rocks and offers a magnificent view of the surroundings, whichever direction you go. One of the best views can be had from the Terazza del Brivido observation deck, which also has a restaurant of the same name (the cooking is excellent).
Tremosino is also known for its cheese, olive oil and red wine, which is grown in vineyards scattered on the local hillsides.
The Strada della Forra, one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in Italy, runs around the town. It is only a few kilometres long, but it takes you through narrow streets and through tunnels that have been carved into the local rocks. Strada della Forra is free to use.
12. Monte Bestone
There are countless hiking trails and viewpoints around Lago di Garda, where you can enjoy the view of Lago di Garda wedged between the green mountains. One of the best views can be enjoyed from the top of Monte Bestone.
Several marked trails lead to the summit. The shortest starts at Hotel Le Balze in Tremosine sul Garda, where there are several free parking spaces. From here you will climb to the top for half an hour, for which it is better to choose sturdy shoes, but otherwise even bigger children can do it without problems. Or you can choose a half-day itinerary from Limone sul Garda.
13. Limone sul Garda
And when I mentioned Limone sul Garda, we’ll get right on with it. Limone sul Garda honours its name – lemons are everywhere you look.
The original fishing village has been transformed into a popular tourist destination in recent years, but still retains its authentic charm. Take a dip on the manicured beaches, stroll along the palm-lined promenade, sample the local citrus liqueur or wander the streets lined with traditional Italian houses.
Head to the local church for a beautiful view of the town. Especially in the evening, when the town is illuminated and contrasts with the dark rocks and deep waters.
Another attraction is the Limonaia del Castel, gardens full of citrus fruits, where you can learn more about cultivation and production, enjoy views of the old town and take in the scent of fresh citrus.
From Limone there is also a 2km trail leading northwards, which literally floats above the lake because it was built right on the rocks. A perfect place for an easy walk or bike ride (the bike path is not passable and you have to turn around at the end).
Where to stay in Limone sul Garda: Hotel Leonardo Da Vinci is an all-inclusive resort with swimming pools, spa, garden, private beach and water sports facilities.
14. Punta Larici
Punta Larici is probably the most famous sight in the Lago di Garda area. The views from here are literally breathtaking.
The viewpoint is located halfway between Limone and Pregasina. The hike starts at the free parking lot at the church in Pregasina, but it fills up early (it can be almost full by 7am in high season). From here you will follow the marked trail 422B.
At the fork, you can then choose to take trail 422A, which runs directly along the cliffs (not suitable for those with a fear of heights or no experience with similar terrain) or continue on 422B. Both trails will take you to the top in about 1.5 hours with an elevation gain of 500 vertical metres.
15. Riva del Garda
Riva del Garda can’t be missing from the list of the most beautiful places to visit on Lake Garda. A charming town at the northern end of Lake Garda where history, culture and nature meet in a perfect setting for cycling, hiking, sailing and windsurfing.
Stroll through the picturesque streets of the old town with its medieval towers and beautiful harbour, visit Rocca Castle, now home to the Museum of Painting and Archaeology, or watch the world go by in one of the cafés in Piazza III Novembre. Riva del Garda has landscaped beaches with a promenade offering beautiful views of the surrounding area.
Riva del Garda is also known for its local specialities, including olive oil and wine.
The best view of Riva del Garda is from the Chiesetta di Santa Barbara. Take the elevator up to the Venetian Bastion (or a 25-minute walk uphill on a paved road), where there is also a restaurant of the same name. The view from here is already amazing.
But if you climb another 2 kilometres and a few hundred metres higher up to the chapel, the view is even better. From the Venetian bastion it is about an hour of steep climbing, which even children can manage, but you just need sturdy shoes and water with you.
Accommodation Riva del Garda 😴
16. Sentiero del Ponale
Sentiero del Ponale is one of the most beautiful trails on Lake Garda. This historic path winds along the rocky cliffs above the lake and was originally built as a road connecting Riva del Garda and the Ledro Valley. It is now a popular route for hiking and mountain biking.
The road winds through tunnels carved into the rock and along steep cliffs, providing an adrenaline rush and unforgettable views. Along the way, you will come across an old customs house from the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and several viewpoints where you can stop and admire the view of the blue waters of the lake and the mountain peaks in the distance.
17. Arco
Arco is a charming town near Riva del Garda with a well-preserved old town made up of narrow streets with restaurants, bars and shops. The town is surrounded by mountain scenery that is popular with climbers. There is even an international rock climbing festival “Rock Master” every year.

20. Busatte-Tempesta trail
The Busatte-Tempesta Trail (Sentiero Panoramico Busatte-Tempesta) is another panoramic trail around Lake Garda. It runs along the north-east coast and is easily accessible.
The starting point is the car park of the Busatte Adventure Park (Parco delle Busatte) in Torbole, which can also be reached by bus from Riva del Garda. From here you continue along the marked trail south to Tempesta. The trail follows the mountainside overlooking the lake and includes three large steel staircases suspended from the rocks (about 400 steps in total).
The route is circular and takes about 3 hours (10 km). You can cut it short and take the bus back to Tombolo in Tempesta. The trail is very popular, so it’s better to come early in the morning in high season so you don’t wait on the staircases with the crowd.
21. Malcesine
Malcesine is a popular town on the eastern shore of Lago di Garda. Even Johann Wolfgang von Goethe knew that Malcesine was a good place to be, having once spent part of his trip to Italy here.
Wander the narrow streets that lead you to the seafront and the harbour, or visit Castello Scaligero di Malcesine, perched on a rocky promontory above the old town. The castle currently serves as a museum and lookout tower, from where you can enjoy beautiful views of the lake and the city.
Malcesine is also the gateway to Monte Baldo, a mountain massif that is literally criss-crossed with hiking trails and viewpoints. In Malcesine, you can take the cable car, which will help you cover several hundred metres of altitude in a few minutes (you can also walk, but expect a day’s hike). For up-to-date information on opening times and prices for the Monte Baldo cable car, please visit the official website.
From Monte Baldo you can take one of the hiking trails back to Malcesine or continue along the ridge via Rifugio Telegrafo. There are many possibilities for hiking.

Just a few kilometres from Malcesine lies Cassone di Malcesine, a picturesque village ideal for those looking for tranquillity on Lake Garda.
The village is famous for its record short river Aril, which is considered one of the shortest rivers in the world due to its length of 175 meters. The river runs through the old town and there is also a small harbour with a promenade nearby.
23. Campo di Brenzone
Campo di Brenzone will absolutely enchant you with its original medieval appearance. The traditional stone houses and narrow streets give you a real insight into Italian village life. The village is almost uninhabited and consists of only a few houses, some of which are also supported by stakes.
The drive here is short and steep, but if you like places like this with an unmistakable atmosphere, it’s worth the short climb. Especially the local church, which the locals take care of.
