It was rare that I traveled to Italy for the first time and I chose to go with a tour group. However, because of the convenience of a tour bus, I unexpectedly visited Lake Garda and the small town of Simioni in northern Italy. #GardaLake Lago di Garda is the largest lake in Italy. It is located at the southern foot of the Alps in northern Italy. It is a lake formed by the melting of glaciers. The clear lake surface is picturesque and there are many high-end resort hotels on the shore. , has been a summer resort for nobles since the Middle Ages, and is now a European resort. The traffic in Lake Garda is relatively inconvenient, so it is more suitable to drive there.

It is a long and narrow peninsula. There is a Skalagar castle on the peninsula. The fortress was built in the 13th century and was under the rule of the Venetian Republic at that time.

I visited Sirmione, a charming town near Verona. 💙 From Verona's central station, you can take a bus and arrive in Sirmione in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. During peak season, buses may not enter Sirmione itself, dropping passengers off at the entrance where you can take a free shuttle bus. The directions are clear, and if you have time, it's worth stopping by. Staying overnight in Sirmione is also a great option. I fell in love with its stunning scenery. ♥️ Swimming in Lake Garda is another must-do activity in Sirmione. It's a different experience compared to swimming in the sea. The water is incredibly clear, and you can even swim alongside ducks. 💛 If I visit Italy again, I would definitely stay in Sirmione and spend time in this quaint northern Italian town. I’d enjoy leisurely bike rides and swimming while soaking in the serene atmosphere. How could anyone not fall in love with this little town? 😍

Passionate Italian Journey (3) The Dazzling Pearl of Northern Italy - Lake Garda Lake Garda April 22, 2025 (Day 2 continued) Leaving Milan, we drove 130 kilometers to Lake Garda. Lake Garda (Image 1), located at the southern foothills of the Alps, halfway between Milan and Venice, is Italy's largest and cleanest lake. Lake Garda, with its mild climate and unique water temperature (suitable for swimming from May to September), sun-drenched beaches and well-equipped small ports, palm trees and oleanders, olive trees and grapevines, appears like a sea nestled between the Po Valley and the Alps (Image 2). Towns are scattered around the lake, and visitors can take boat trips to enjoy the lake views. In the harbor of Sirmione, many yachts are docked to serve tourists (Image 3). We took a small boat around Sirmione, circling the lake to admire the intoxicating scenery of this beautiful lakeside town from the water (Images 4-5). The town of Sirmione is situated on a very tiny, narrow peninsula on the southern shore of Lake Garda, extending about 4 kilometers into the lake. Its exceptional location makes Sirmione stand out among the towns around Lake Garda, becoming a leisure destination that still retains the traditional Italian cultural atmosphere (Images 6-7). The town's landmark, Scaliger Castle (Scaligerburg), built in the 13th century, is a must-visit attraction. Standing on the central tower of the ancient castle, you can feel the intertwining of historical richness and natural beauty (Images 8-9). Tonight we're staying in Verona, and tomorrow we'll head to the Dolomites.
