Lake Garda in a nutshell
Known for its theme parks, Lake Garda is a top destination in this respect for families with young children. Gardaland Resort is one of Lake Garda’s most popular theme parks and it boasts a variety of exciting roller coasters and rides. It’s also home to an aquarium, a LEGOLAND® Water Park, and three themed hotels you could choose to call home during your family holiday. Taking a boat-trip in Lake Garda is another must, as is trying a range of watersports such as windsurfing and water-skiing.
If you’re travelling alone or with your partner, trekking or climbing in the hills north of Riva del Garda is a great way to explore your surroundings. For the ultimate in mountain and lake views, take a cable ride from Malcesine up to the top of Monte Baldo.
Lake Garda is dotted with quaint villages and fascinating towns that you can lose yourself in for hours. Many lakeside towns host lively weekly markets where you can expect a bustling atmosphere, friendly locals, and a wealth of goods and organic food.
One of the most popular towns is Sirmione, with this elegant town known for its thermal waters and ancient structures. The Grottoes of Catullus is a ruined Roman villa of teetering stone arches and tumbledown walls, and is an absolute must-visit. As is the town’s celebrated eatery, La Rucola 2.0 which boasts a Michelin star. Here you can expect an emphasis on sea and lake fish with a contemporary spin and unrivalled presentation.
Desenzano del Garda is another mecca for history lovers. Its main attraction is probably Villa Romana di Desenzano del Garda, with this lakeside archaeological site featuring some amazing partially intact mosaic floors. There’s also the Rambotti Archaeological Museum and the romantic ruins of Castello di Desenzano del Garda which provide excellent views over Lake Garda.
More of the region’s history is on show in the Palazzina Storica museum in Peschiera, with the building itself having been where allied leaders met during the First World War. While the story of winemaking can be soaked up at the charming Wine Museum in Bardolino, which is also home to a 15th-century press.
If relaxing on beaches is more your speed than watersports, you’ll be delighted with those dotted along the shores of Lake Garda. Many of its pebble and sand beaches also have lidos and a range of amenities to keep everyone happy. Lazise Beach in the town of Lazise has lovely soft sands, calm waters for swimming, and plenty of nearby kiosks and restaurants for snacks and lunches.
