When in Lake Garda...a visit to the picturesque peninsula of Sirmione is a must. In between exploring the rich history of Scaliger Castle, wander down the narrow cobblestone streets that lead to the Grotte di Catullo, and, treat yourself at the Catullo Spa. 

Not many places can lay the claim that they have held a Michelin star for over 30 years. Esplanade however, can; since 1992 this spot has become iconic to Lake Garda's culinary scene. So, for some delicious food, not to mention the spectacular, panoramic views across Lake Garda, head straight to this gem of a place. 

If you're in the mood to shop, stop by Desenzano del Garda. From clothing, shoes, and jewellery boutiques, to bottegas for local food and wine specialities - you're sure to find a little treat to take home. 

Capturing the essence of medieval Italy, as well as boosting a picturesque waterfront setting, Peschiera del Garda makes for the perfect place to explore, wander around and discover some of Italy's rich history. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Sight for a reason!
