Visiting Lake Garda in Italy

Lake Garda, the inland lake in north-east Italy, boasts more than 45 kilometres of beaches among its many attractions. It should come as no surprise that this is a region that tourists are increasingly flocking to reach.

On a warm June day here, tourists sit and admire the spectacular Alpine scenery reflecting in the still, delicate waters of Lake Garda. This region of Italy has a unique beauty - a beauty that is making it more and more popular with visitors from elsewhere in Europe and beyond.

The lake is surrounded by an array of pretty villages and stunning medieval towns. With the mountains providing a stunning backdrop, this is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque parts of Italy.

The countryside surrounding Lake Garda is often green - the hills are dotted with farms and vineyards. Many visitors choose to stay in a rented farmhouse or villa, while holiday apartments in the larger towns also provide a good option.

As one would expect of almost any location in Italy, the food in this region is exceptional. Italian families love to make a real occasion of eating out and you are certain to enjoy the varied food on offer. This is a place where fresh vegetables, fruit, fish and meats dominate.

Indeed, many visitors to Lake Garda cannot help but relax. Surrounded by rolling countryside, fantastic mountains, the tranquil waters of the lake and the amazing food in the nearby restaurants, it's not hard to see why.

For those looking for a more active holiday, there are ample opportunities. Lake Garda itself is popular for many water sports, while the surrounding hills and mountains provide an excellent location for walking, climbing and hiking.

Lake Garda and the surrounding areas can provide a little something for everyone.
