Lake Garda
Italy's biggest lake between Verona and the Alps
🗓️ Best time: May–September💰 Mid-Range · ~$130/day📍 Italy
Italy's biggest lake between Verona and the Alps
Italy's biggest lake — Sirmione's Roman ruins on a peninsula, Limone's lemon groves, Riva del Garda's windsurf, and Verona/Venice within day-trip range.
Ferry between towns (slow but scenic); rent a car for hilltop villages.
Stay 3+ nights — the lake's 158km long, you can't see it in a day.
Very safe.
Riva del Garda for younger; Sirmione for upscale.
