Sirmione

From Verona, we continued to Sirmione, where the climate is milder than in most other towns around Lake Garda.

The history of Sirmione is as rich and varied as that of the other major towns by the lake. The area was already settled in the Stone Age.

The impressive Scaliger Castle is probably the most famous landmark of Sirmione. The Scaliger Castle in Sirmione is a water castle. It is one of the most extraordinary military architectural structures of the 14th century in Italy that has remained relatively unchanged. The castle is located on the peninsula of Sirmione, which juts about four kilometers into Lake Garda, in a position that is easy to defend.

But the Church of San Pietro is also worth a visit, just like the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which dates back to the 15th century.

The charming harbor, with its vibrant activities, invites you to enjoy the atmosphere while sipping a cappuccino or an espresso in the bistros or cafés.
We had a place at the campsite

The site is very nicely situated right at the shore of Lake Garda, and from the nearby bus stop, it was easy to take public transport into the city center.
