Garda Lake is the largest Italian lake, situated at the foot of the Alps, in a beautiful
area of southern Europe. At only 30 Km from Verona, 100 Km from Milan and 130 Km from
Venice it is well placed for road, rail and air connections.
Lake Garda offers the visitor
a splendid natural scenery, full of colors, surrounded by the Dolomites of Brenta in the
north and the gentle slopes of the morainic hills in the south. A rich vegetation flourishes
thanks to the Mediterranean climate: lemon trees, oleanders, magnolias and
bougainvillea.
The cultivation of vineyards and olive groves produces good wines and olive oil. Walking
leisurely around the small village centers, going on a boat trip, exploring the surroundings
in a wide choice of itineraries are the best ways of enjoying the lively atmosphere of the
lake and the beauty of the landscape.
Moreover, Lake Garda is ideally situated for excursions:
to the historical cities of Verona, Brescia, Mantua, Trent and Venice, to the Dolomites, to a
performance at the Arena in Verona during the Opera Season.
In this region almost every sport
can be practiced from tennis to paragliding, free-climbing, scuba-diving, clay-pigeon shooting
and karting.
Sailing and windsurfing enthusiasts find here their ideal conditions and over the
last years Lake Garda has been chosen by lovers of mountain-bike and has become world famous
for the quality of its golf courses.
If looking for fun and relax there is a good choice of
amusement parks and gardens; for those who love shopping there are opportunities meeting all
needs, from the picturesque street markets to the most elegant shops.
Lake Garda is also well
known for its exciting night-life, its dolce vita: restaurants, cafes, the trendiest discos
and entertainment of all kinds are to be found everywhere.
