More to Know in Limone
The Verona Opera is definitely one for the bucket list! The season runs from mid June to early September and covers all the classics including Aida by Verdi or Turnadot by Puccini. Whichever performance you choose; you’ll have an incredible evening.
Verona is one of Italy’s most charming little cities. This day trip dips into the romance of the medieval city, reliving the scenes from Romeo and Juliet while wandering around through the cobbled streets and past ancient buildings. On a walking tour of the city you'll see the impressive 2,000-year-old Roman arena (entry not included). It's one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world and is currently home to the Verona Opera. Explore the marble paved shopping street of Via Mazzini which leads to the pretty market square Piazza Delle Erbe.
Venice is not to be missed! This excursion allows you to explore the city with a guide and at your own pace. You’ll arrive by coach and grab a water taxi to the centre. You’ll also have the option to add on a gondola ride (payable locally). There’s plenty of time to take in sights of the Basilica, Doge's Palace, St Mark's square and the Rialto bridge – this is the perfect introduction to one of Italy's most magical cities.
Start with a scenic drive through the exceptional South Tyrol, Val di Fiemme, Cavalese and Moena regions. You’ll then stop off at Passa Pordoi and take in the incredible views from this 2,000-metre-high vantage point. There’s some free time to explore the terrain at your own pace, either by taking one of the trekking paths or simply enjoying an Aperol at a rifugio and taking in the views. A stop off at the chocolate box town of Ortisei is included on the way back to your hotel as well as plenty of stops for photo opportunities in this awe inspiring landscape.
Get ready to explore the best of Lake Garda on this excursion – there’s so much natural beauty and picturesque towns to discover. See the spectacular mountain scenery of the north and the sunny plains of the south. Travelling by both coach and ferry, the tour itinerary for this excursion varies depending on where you start but will usually follow the famous Gardensana road lined with fragrant olive and lemon trees to reach the likes of Malcesine, Sirmione, Salo and Limone.
Things to see and do
There's no shortage of things to do on Lake Garda. We fill our days here with ferry trips along the lake, hopping on and off to explore the towns. It's easy to do and the views from the water are great. Don't miss the castle in Malcesine, it's at the top of the town so you'll get some pretty nice views from there. Limone is the lake's prettiest town so stop here for a coffee in the piazza. Sirmione has lots of history to explore and there's a fun weekly market in Garda. Gardaland is close by so get some thrills and ride the rollercoaster. You can go further afield too - Venice, Verona and the Dolomites are all easy day trips.
Food & drink
Wine is pretty big business in Lake Garda. There’s two festivals dedicated to it every year in Bardolino and this is the best resort to stay in if you want to visit vineyards to do some tastings. There’s nothing quite like lingering over a lakeside lunch with a glass of local wine. There’s plenty of restaurants to choose from too. Fish features on the menu a lot and it’s often freshly caught from the lake. You’ll also find local olive oil and citrus fruits used in almost all restaurants. Chickpea polenta, homemade pastas and sauces, risotto and venison are all regional favourites. For dessert, head to Sirmione for the lake’s best gelato.
Activities
Lake Garda is a perfect choice for a walking holiday – there’s endless trails here that cater for all abilities. If you’re after gentle strolls, pick Garda or Bardolino as your base. The promenade stretches for miles so you can really get your steps up. You’ll find more challenging routes in the north. Riva has some great paths that wind up the mountains where you can get birds-eye views over the lake.
If you’re serious about cycling, you’ll love Lake Garda. A lot of the promenades here are traffic free so you can relax and enjoy the views. You can cycle around the whole lake in a day if you’re up for it. For the best off-road thrills, head to Riva del Garda or Malcesine.
We love hitting the water in Lake Garda. Windsurfing is very popular in Riva and you can normally see it taking place from the piazza. Get involved and try it yourself. Paddle boarding in Malcesine is a great activity for everyone and gives you a nice, unique view of the town. You can even take a sailing or kite surfing course while you're there.
It’s a beautiful location for a holiday and its warm climate means it’s a perfect year-round destination. The best time to visit Lake Garda is the summer, when temperatures rarely fall below 25°C. The weather is ideal for shorts and t-shirts, along with a pair of sunglasses and plenty of sun cream. For milder temperatures, the best time to go to Lake Garda is spring. The weather has improved since winter, but it’s far from being too hot or humid. It’s ideal for enjoying the warm, dry climate and you’ll experience the region at one of the quietest and most peaceful times of the year.
