Search by dateSirmione at a glance
Sirmione is a tongue of land that stretches into Lake Garda, with a Scaliger castle at the entrance and the ruins of a Roman villa. It is one of the most photographed places on the lake.
Practical tips
- Cars cannot enter the old town: park outside and walk.
- The castle and the Grottoes of Catullus are best in the early morning or late afternoon.
- In the evening Sirmione is calmer and lit: a walk not to be missed.
When to go
From April to October for the lake; in June and September the weather is ideal and there are fewer tourists.
