Milan Local
Roughly 370 square kilometers, Lake Garda is officially the country’s largest lake. It's renowned for its medieval towns, picturesque villages, and mountainous landscapes. Two hours from Milan, it’s one of the most sought-after day trips. Each of the towns, villages, and hamlets is vastly unique. Some of the most popular include Sirmione (home to thermal baths); Limone sul Garda (on the western shores); Garda (with its cute cafe-lined bay); and Bardolino (excellent for wine-tasting).
