In a nutshell
Fun times, no matter how old you are!
catherineneill Says: Part of the Canevaworld resort is Aqua Paradise. I generally prefer waterparks to theme parks and found this better value for money than Gardaland. Slides, including some really really high ones, pools, whirlpools and good for smaller children too. The obligatory blackhole,...
catherineneill Says: Largest theme park in Italy - definately stop here with the kids (or if you're a big kid like me its fine too) with range of rides (30+ in total) and 6 roller coasters. It's pretty pricey (around 30+€ for a standard ticket) but there are other options and promotions on...
Malcesine - picturesque town with a cable car ride
catherineneill Says: Head to Malcesine which is a beautiful town at the bottom of Mont Baldo. The town in itself might be a consideration for somewhere to stay, but we just headed here to take the cable car up the 1800 feet to check out the views. In summer you can take a walk and take in the...
Luchonda Says: The Borghese family opens its treasures for guided but limited tours.Arrive there, by a local taxi-boat and enjoy this place of rare and special beauty - all in the middle of a top touristic place. But on this island you will breath nature (woods made up of pine and cypress...
BurgerQueen Says: Visit the best amusement park in Northern italy, called Gardaland (on the Garda Lake): www.gardaland.it/park/. You can either go by car or take a train up to Peschiera, there you will find free buses to the park. Close to Gardaland there are a number of theme parks:...
oriettaIT Says: Gargnano is my favourite village in this area of the Lake. the walk along the shore is pleasant, with a line of orange tree that, despite the storm, were full of fruit. There are several shops where you can buy the local specialties, cheese, lemons, oranges, home made...
oriettaIT Says: Driving from north to south along the Gardesana Occidentale, the first village you see after Riva del Garda. It lies under a huge cliff and it seems to be afraid of it. I am sorry for the bad picture but the wind was blowing so bad when i visited that it was impossible to...

Il Bue D'Oro: Not-to-miss food
shaula Says: Just south of Verona, close to the Mantova region there's a small town called Valeggio sul Mincio. There you can find the best tortellini ever. We absolutely recomend Il Bue D'Oro. They let us in with the dog and at a very late hour without the least sign of...
Antica Trattoria La Speranzina: Lakefish with a view
baronedivandastad Says: We chose this place because of its attractive position inside the town of Sirmione, at the tip of the lovely peninsula that stretches out inside the lake from the southernmost point of the shore. Now our judgement is a bit hampered by the weather, as it was a summer day and...
Il giardino delle rane (the frogs garden): Nice restaurant in Garda
BurgerQueen Says: "Il giardino delle rane" is a very nice restaurant, both from the food and from the aesthetic point of view. It offers excellent Italian food served in a froggy atmosphere: frogs are depicted on dishes, glasses, candles, menus, cutlery, etc. and frogs statues are...
Ristorante con Pizza al Fattore: Great fish in Desenzano del Garda
oriettaIT Says: On our way home we arrived in Desenzano at lunch time. There was a bad storm and it was raining and windy. We decided to stop at the first place we found and we got lucky.Ristorante Pizzeria al Fattore is a modern decorated restaurant with an elegant dining area. The menu...
Taverna Kus: exceptional address
PALLINA Says: This is really an outstanding address if you love to travel and taste food and wine specialities. First of all, the ambience is very accurate; the owner loves brics-and-bracs markets and shows everything may by worth to be shown (there is the mirrors room, the clocks...
sandysmith Says: A trip to Lake Garda must include a ride on the new cable car of Malcesine up to Monte Blado in about 10 minutes, the cabins rotating as it glides up in the air. From here you have wonderful views over the lake - if its not too hazy! It is also possible to transport...
Aurorae Says: You can go around the Garda lake with a boat, there is a public transport, as well as a private one. There is a timetable and all the useful information at the website indicated below. They also organize New Year's Eve cruises, with dinner, music and programme, and it costs...
KristaB Says: There are regular boat lines connecting small towns on Garda lake, some for passengers only, and there is also a ferry connecting Torri and Maderno.Sirmione is very well connected with many other towns, since it is the most popular tourist spot in the area.
From Riva del Garda to Verona on evening
microsensazione Says: I don't know how far you are from Riva del Garda because, if you have to hire a car only to go to Verona, I'd suggest you to reach Desenzano by boat from Riva del Garda and, by train, from Desenzano to Verona. Opera, one night stay in Verona, and the day after come back in...
Gastronomia Bignotti: Local cheese in Gargnano
oriettaIT Says: Walking the main street in Gargnano we found a "Gastronomia" (delicatessen shop). They had a sign about local produced cheese, we could not help to go check it out. Along with the usual selection of delicatessen (that all look really yummy) they had a selection of maybe ten...
KristaB Says: This is one lovely safari style zoo with great variety of animals and exhibitions. We spent one afternoon there because of our tight schedule, but it deserves a whole day visit.One part of the park is more like a zoo, you walk around and enjoy observing animals. There is...
davesut Says: Taking the road north on the western side of the lake you will see a sign for Tignale and church of Madonna di Montecastello. If is a steep climb to the site but it is worth it for the views. There is a viewpoint where you can get out before carrying on for 10 minutes or so...
Andrea-Andy Says: Garda Trentino has always been a favourite destination for lovers of sport holidays. In fact conditions for windsufring, sailing, free climbing and mountain biking of the highest level have always attracted Europe’s most dynamic young people to the area. On the same theme,...
