Lake Garda, Italy

This post is dedicated to all of you who have liked my facebook page on Lake Garda. The resort is situated in the north of Italy, between Milan and Venice. The Lake spans across provinces such as Verona, Brescia and Trento. You can access the lake from the north via the Brenner Pass and from the south via the A4 autostrade. 

Located at the northernly end of Lake Garda, Riva del Garda is one of the lake’s most visited holiday destinations. The stunning little town has a fantastic harbour and a no vehicle zoned 'old town', dominated by the 13th Century clock tower, 'Torre Apponale'. 

Towns and villages of beauty are located along the shore line but the lake’s southern shores are where the population reside. This section is the broadest section of the lake, and a base for all examples of watersports.

Sirmione is a must see at the southern section of the lake. This is located on a four kilometre long promontory jutting into the lake, Sirmione is over shadowed by Scaligeri Castle. Built in the 13th Century, it has an expected moat to serve as a protector from invaders to the villages, the castle sets a formidable sight.
