Lake Garda (Lago di Garda in Italian) is one of the most visited lakes in Italy. It is also the largest, covering an area of 370 km² with a perimeter of 162 km. The lake has an elongated shape, stretching 51.5 km in length, with a width varying between 1 and 17.5 km. Its maximum depth is 346 meters. The lake spans three Italian regions: Veneto, Lombardy, and Trentino-Alto Adige. Touring the lake, you will notice how the landscape gradually changes -from the flat, green scenery in the south to the rocky and rugged terrain in the north.

The nearest airport to Lake Garda is in Verona. You can also reach the lake from Bergamo (about 80 km to Desenzano del Garda or Salò), Milan (130 km to Desenzano del Garda), or Venice (140 km to Peschiera del Garda).

The towns and villages around Lake Garda offer opportunities for relaxation, wellness, art, culture, sports, as well as wine, good food, and entertainment. In the south are the picturesque Sirmione (a town beloved by artists and poets), Peschiera del Garda (where Gardaland Park is located), and Desenzano del Garda (the largest town on the lake), with its stunning views and famous wines. On the eastern shore are towns such as Lazise, Bardolino (famous for its red wine), Garda, Castelletto di Brenzone, and Malcesine, while on the western shore are Moniga del Garda, Salò, Gardone Riviera, Gargnano, Campione del Garda, and Limone del Garda. In the north lies Riva del Garda, probably the best-known resort on the lake.
