When to visit

The best time to visit Lake Garda is during the spring and summer months, from April to September. The weather is warm and sunny during this time, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities and exploring the surrounding area. However, the lake can get crowded during the peak summer months, so consider visiting in the shoulder seasons for a more peaceful experience.

Getting around

Getting around Lake Garda is easy with a car, as there are well-maintained roads that circle the lake. Alternatively, visitors can use the ferry service that connects the towns along the lake. Buses and trains also provide transportation options for exploring the region. Cycling is a popular way to get around the lake, with bike paths that offer scenic views of the water and mountains.

Traveller tips

Be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the strong sun while out on the lake. Try the local cuisine, including fresh seafood dishes and delicious gelato. Take a day trip to nearby attractions such as Verona or the Dolomite Mountains. Book accommodations in advance, especially during the peak summer months. Don't forget to bring comfortable walking shoes for exploring the charming towns along the lake.
