Lake Garda & Around

Covering 370 sq km, Lake Garda is the largest of the Italian lakes, straddling the border between three regions: the Lombard plains to the west, Alpine Trentino Alto-Adige to the north and the rolling hills of the Veneto to the east. Look around and you’ll be surprised to see a Mediterranean landscape of vineyards, olive groves and citrus orchards that is thanks to the lake's uniquely mild microclimate.

Castello Scaligero, also known as Rocca Scaligero, built as a stronghold on the lake, during the day - Sirmione, Lago di Garda, The Lake District, Lombardia
