Garda

Garda holidays

This handsome town is a colourful fishing village and a great base for getting around the region. Did we mention it gets some of the best sunsets in Lake Garda? Along the eastern side of the lake, this is a resort full of charisma and little features to discover. Potter by the promenade and pitch up to people-watch with an espresso by the banks of the water.

An eyeful

Conveniently placed on the eastern side of the lake and with a transfer time of just over an hour, Garda town is a popular base that’s brimming with character. Wander along the pretty promenade and grab a seat outside a café to stare out at this mighty mountainous area. If you’re looking for peaceful lakeside hangouts, then this is the resort for you.

Bag a bargain

Meander the stalls of markets and see local produce in the masses. From clothes and crockery, to gifts and antiques – who knows what delights you might uncover?! See if you can sniff out some great value leather, too. Restaurants, bars and even dainty churches are also calling.
