Valeggio sul Mincio Travel Guide

 matcrazy1 Says:  There are four similar bars, run probably by the same company, in the Sigurta Gardens. We tried that one in northeastern part of the gardens. It was nothing fancy, never: just an ugly kiosk with plastic tables and chairs put on a grass with no umbrella to protect consumer... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  When I visited Sigurta Gardens on sunny Sunday in May, only motorcycles (there were tenths) were allowed to park just by the entrance to the park. Cars and buses were directed to the parking lots located northwards by the main road SS249 to Lago di Garda (Peschiera del... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  Sigurta gardens are large, over 3 kilometers long and almost 1 kilometer wide. If you want to take a quick, first look at most of the gardens or visit the gardens with kids take a little train, on my picture, which starts next to the entrance. The 7 km train ride takes 30... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There is possibility to visit Sigurta Gardens by hired at place golf-cart. It maybe a good option especially for those folks who: - have at least € 12.00 to spend for first hour, add € 6.00 for each additional half an hour; well in a group of four it sounds better;- are... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There is possibility to visit Sigurta Gardens by hired at place bicycle. It maybe a good option especially for those folks who:- have at least € 3.00 to spend for each hour; there are also bikes for children;- are patient enough to wait for a hire (1 and half an hour on... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  You can visit the Sigurta Garden on foot, which is my recommendation as its the only way to see everything. Only, keep in mind, that the gardens are large and you need at least three hours just to walk around. At the entrance I got a map of the gardens where two main walking... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  It's my strong recommendation to buy and taste local wine wherever you are in Italy. Often inexpensive wine (skip the cheapest) tastes surprisngly great! They are available in both... souvenir shops, chain supermarkets (not my recommendation: less choice of LOCAL wines... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  While I drive a long way (quite often during my trips) I like to eat some snacks, at least from time to time. So, in each visited country, I hardly look for local, inexpensive and good snacks. In Valeggio each local grocery offered similar snacks, both local and pan-European... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There is rental (noleggio) of both golf-carts and bicycles located opposite to the entrance to Sigurta gardens. Sweet mother of Giampiero (giampiero6) wanted to hire a golf-cart but he got to know that waiting time to get a golf-cart was approx. two and half an hour. Well,... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There is a warning sign, on my picture, put in one of ponds of Sigurta Gardens. The warning is written in four languages: Italian, German, English and French but the French part is sunk, thus mostly below the water level and may be read exclusively by fish.The warning says:... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  There was large contrast between empty, lazy center of Valeggio sul Mincio and busy, crowded at places, Sigurta Gardens at sunny, Sunday midday in May. There are only four very small bars for visitors in the gardens. So, do expect to wait in a line at least 5-10 min. unless... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  Both a leaflet on the Sigurta Gardens I got at the entrance and all information signs were written exclusively in the three languages: Italian, English and German. Hmm... I was surprised that the French language was completely skipped. For sure, there are quite many visitors... 

 matcrazy1 Says:  I can't say that Valeggio sul mincio is a city of flowers. Most space in town center is asphalted but there is some green space outside and in small yards among mostly 2-store houses. Few locals created beautiful gardens in their small backyards. Despite it's Italy, not the...
