Day trips in northern Italy

Lake Garda

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy and merits a day trip. Sheltered by the Alps to the north, it has a mild climate. The landscapes are a mix of towering mountains, lush green countryside, vineyards, olive groves, and colorful citrus trees.

Sirmione at the southern end of Lake Garda has the remains of an enormous Roman Villa and ancient traditions in history and art. Besides the many fortresses, castles, and palaces around the lake, there are beautiful beaches on its southern, western, and eastern coasts, and very clear water up at the northern end which is ideal for swimmers, scuba divers and wind-surfing.

Whether it's for the wine, windsurfing or rowboat races, Lake Garda has something for everyone. It can be reached by train or car from Bob and Jenny's Bed and Breakfast in an hour.
