Day 4: LakeGarda
Today we go on a journey of discovery through the unique and bizarre landscape of Italy’s largest lake. The narrow north of the Lake Garda is dominated by the soaring peak of Monte Baldo, whereas it spreads out comfortably further south. Our first stop will be in the picture postcard village of Sirmione. We may visit the Scaliger Castle or stroll through the narrow streets of this romantic little town at our leisure. After lunch (not included) we will board a boat that takes us towards the south-eastern shore to Garda which features the longest lakeside promenade on Lake Garda where we may enjoy on a nice walk.
