Lake Garda Sights

There are no sandy beaches around Lake Garda, however you will find pebbly beaches and grassy areas. A large beach called Spiaggi Sabbioni can be found in Riva del Garda and there are smaller beaches at Malcesine and Limone.

This romantic town lies on the southern shores of Lake Garda on a small peninsula. Narrow cobbled streets entwine around the castle which dominates the town. It is a popular day trip destination and is home to the ruins of a large Roman villa 'Grotte di Catullo'. It is also a spa town where natural hot springs originate from beneath the lake. During the day the panoramic view of the lake from here is second to none and by night becomes truly enchanting.

Arco is a picturesque, elegant health resort set amidst steep cliffs in the Sacra Valley. The Old Town is bursting with beautiful palaces and wrought iron pavilions. The outstanding landmark remains the fortress, now in ruins, set on the steep cliff overlooking Arco. This is a popular starting point for cyclists and walkers and is home to a music festival every June.
