How to get around Lake Garda?

This is the million-dollar question that crosses the minds of many people planning to spend their holidays at italy’s largest lake..

Lake Garda has a circumference of almost 160 km and dozens of picturesque towns and exciting sights on its shores. Yet, there are only two train stations here and only one lakeside road that runs around the whole lake. It’s only natural then that at first glance reaching and travelling around Lake Garda may seem like a daunting task.

Especially, if you do not have a car at your disposal. Or if you have a car but you are unsure where and how you will be able to park considering how popular the lake is. After all, Lago di Garda is one of Italy’s most unmissable destinations. Twenty-seven million people flock to it each year to enjoy its beauty and its unique mix of history , nature, good food , fun activities , cute beaches , and local festivals. 

So, if you are planning to head there yourself – either for a day trip or a longer holiday – fear not!

Lake Garda is easy to get to and to get around. In this blog post today, I will share with you the ten best ways to do it. I have covered the pros and cons of the different types of transport here so that you know what to expect and have a clear idea of how to organise your travel around the lake.

I have also included many first-hand tried and tested tips. From cars, ferries, and trains to bikes, taxis, and your own two feet, everything’s covered in detail.

It’s all designed to make your visit to Lake Garda smooth and easy. I hope that you will find the information shared herewith useful during the planning stages of your Italian holiday.

Where is lake garda – italy’s largest lake.

First things first! Let’s pinpoint on the map where exactly Lake Garda is in Italy and Europe.

Lago di Garda – as it is known in Italian – is in  Northern Italy . It serves as the natural border between three Italian regions:

  • Lombardy  to the west and southwest;
  • Veneto  to the east and southeast; and
  • Trentino-Alto Adige  to the north.

As such, the lake is a great destination if you want to see as much of Italy and its regional differences as possible within a short amount of time.

Lake Garda is quick and easy to reach from eight  international airports and a number of large Italian cities. Click to read specific instructions on how to travel to the lake from Verona ,  Milan ,  Venice , and  Bologna .

My ultimate travel guide about Lago di Garda will give you an exhaustive overview of the lake and provide you with tips on accommodation, food, beaches, sports, local destinations, the best times to visit, and so many other useful details.

Getting Around Lake Garda – 10 Best Ways to Travel Around Italy’s Largest Lake

Getting Around Lake Garda - 10 Best Ways to Travel Around Lake Garda, Italy - rossiwrites.com

1. Travel Around Lake Garda by Car

Having a car at your disposal is the most convenient way to explore everything that Lake Garda has to offer. 

Being able to quickly zip up and down the lake gives you the immense freedom to visit a myriad of  picturesque towns ,  medieval villages , curious sights ,  pebbly beaches , captivating museums,  large theme parks , and so many other wonderful places on the shores of Italy’s largest lake. Not to mention all the hidden gems and secret corners you will be able to reach and explore.

If you have a chance to either drive to Lake Garda in your own car or rent a car for the duration of your stay here, then give it a serious thought.

Before making a decision, however, consider also the following cons of travelling by car around Lake Garda:

  • Parking around Lake Garda can be an issue. You may need to park on the outskirts of a town and then walk from there or even take a bus to reach the town’s historic centre. During the high season, it may be difficult to find a parking space near the most popular spots. Ask in advance if the accommodation you are planning to book provides a parking space and how close or far this is to the actual hotel, B&B or apartment where you will be staying.
  • The driving style in Italy is, let’s say, more single-minded or, in other words, more on the offensive than on the defensive. 
  • Two major motorways pass close to Lake Garda. They are the Autostrada A4 (also known as Serenissima ), which links Turin and Trieste via Milan and Venice , and the Autostrada A22 from Modena to Austria via Verona and the Brenner Pass. However, there is only one lakeside road that circles the entire lake. 
  • The lakeside road has two branches. The Strada Gardesana Orientale brims the eastern shore of the lake. The Strada Gardesana Occidentale – the western one. Both are two-lane for most of their length. Vehicles of all types and sizes travel along them, making them very busy, especially during the high season.
  • Traffic jams during the high season, as well as at the start and the end of the weekends can add hours to your journey. Using a GPS is paramount to get up-to-date information about traffic conditions and escape traffic jams via alternative routes as soon as they present themselves.
  • Roads going up the steep hills and mountains surrounding Lake Garda can be rather narrow and open vertiginous views. 
  • Some of the tunnels at the northernmost tip of the lake (especially the ones between the towns of Malcesine and Riva del Garda ) are not illuminated and driving through them on a bright day or during the colder months can be a test of how quickly your eyes adapt to changes in the light.
  • The historic centres of the lakefront towns are traditionally a zone with limited traffic (in Italian, ZTL  –  zona di traffico limitato ). Do not drive through them nor enter them even for a few minutes with your vehicle as this incurs heavy fines. The only way around this is if your accommodation is in the historic centre and you have been given a parking pass to allow you access to the ZTL.

Having said all that, driving around Lake Garda remains the most convenient way of exploring as much of the lake as possible. So, do weigh the cons and pros carefully in order to make the right decision for yourself and your travelling companions.

2. Town-Hop Around Lake Garda by Ferry

Crisscrossing Lake Garda on board a ferry is a pleasure like no other. 

The full beauty of the many lakefront towns is only truly revealed from the water. Sitting on the deck, feeling the fresh air on your face, and taking in the sprawling panoramas is like being transported to this perfect world where peace and calm reign and where history and nature have created a uniquely beautiful blend.

Medieval castles , pastel houses, sprawling beaches , little coves, and towering mountains glide past you framed by the teal waters of the lake and the blue skies above.

Plus, taking a ferry is an easy way to reach lakefront towns that are on the opposite shore thus avoiding circumnavigating the lake by road and any potential traffic jams along the way. By all means, take the ferry at least once during your time at Lake Garda. Some easy and very pleasant routes are:

  • Desenzano del Garda to Sirmione (and then you can stay on to Lazise , Bardolino or Garda Town);
  • Peschiera del Garda to Lazise , Bardolino, and Garda Town; and
  • Limone sul Garda to Malcesine .

You can also purchase a single-day, a multi-day and/or a family pass for the whole lake, Lower Garda, Upper Garda or another specific zone of the lake. This will give you unlimited ferry trips from morning til dusk thus making it possible to see as many lakefront towns as you can.

At the same time, you need to be aware of the following inconveniences of taking the ferry at Lake Garda:

  • Well, ferries follow a schedule. So, if, let’s say, you miss the last ferry for the day, then you will need to find an alternative way back to your accommodation .
  • Also, during the low season, the ferries run less frequently between the different lakefront towns, meaning that you will need to wait longer to get to where you want or need to go.
  • In principle, the ferries are great for towns that are either right across the lake from one another or are relatively close to one another and on the same shore. For example, the journey by ferry from Limone sul Garda to Malcesine lasts only about 20 minutes. However, if you try to reach Riva del Garda at the northernmost tip of Lake Garda starting from Desenzano del Garda on the southwestern shore of the lake, the journey will last many hours. Especially, during the low season.
  • Lastly, only two ferry lines on Lake Garda take cars, too. One connects Torri del Benaco on the eastern shore to Toscolano-Maderno on the western shore of Lake Garda. This car ferry operates all throughout the year. In summer, you can also catch a car ferry from Malcesine to Limone sul Garda. Just be aware that the passenger ferry and the car ferry stop at two different places in Malcesine. So, make sure that you head to the right one if you want your car to travel with you, too.

Still, seeing Lake Garda from the board of one of the ferries that crisscross it is a must for your bucket list for Italy’s largest lake.

For  ferry times, prices, and tickets , always refer to the official website of  Gestione Navigazione Laghi Italia . 

3. Travel Around Lake Garda by Bus

Taking the bus is a great way to travel around Lake Garda. Numerous bus lines connect the many lakefront towns and can also take you all the way to several nearby large Italian cities like  Verona , Brescia , and  Rovereto .

Click  here  to consult their current timetables. Alternatively, you can find extensive information about the local seasonal and year-round bus lines in the tourist information offices in the lakefront towns and Verona. In summer, there is also a direct bus which connects Verona Airport to several of the lakefront towns.

The cons of taking a bus here are:

  • Obviously, any plans you may have will need to be adjusted to the bus schedule.
  • Lots of people use the buses around Lake Garda during the high season. You may need to queue to get on the bus. Be decisive, however, as people from different nationalities react differently when the bus doors open. Some may be pushy! Be polite but stand your ground.
  • Finally, there is the time factor in so that traffic jams can slow the advance of the bus. Plus, with stopping at many different places along the way, the bus can take much longer than a car to reach one lakefront town from another.

Still, taking the bus to reach Lake Garda or to travel around the lake is a very convenient and affordable option. Especially, if you combine it with the ferries that crisscross the lake and/or the trains that connect  Venice , Padua , Vicenza , Verona , Mantua , Brescia , and Milan to two of the most important towns on the lake’s southern shores – Desenzano del Garda and Peschiera del Garda.

4. Travel to Lake Garda by Train

Two of the towns on the shores of Lake Garda have a train station. One is the town of Peschiera del Garda and the other is the town of Desenzano del Garda . Both are only about 15 km away from one another and are located on the southern/southwestern end of Italy’s largest lake.

The train stations in Peschiera del Garda and Desenzano del Garda enjoy excellent connections by high-speed and regional trains to a number of large cities in Northern Italy , for example, Venice , Padua , Vicenza , Verona , Brescia , Milan , and Turin. Using Italy’s extensive railway network, you can easily travel to Lake Garda from anywhere in the country – from  Bologna  and Rome to Naples , Perugia , and Bari.

It takes as little as 14 mins to reach Peschiera del Garda from Verona on the high-speed train and from 13 to 31 mins to cover the same distance on the regional train. Respectively, it takes as little as 19 mins to reach Desenzano del Garda from Verona on the high-speed train and from 23 to 28 mins to cover the same distance on the regional train. This makes Lake Garda the easiest day trip to take from Verona.

In addition, if you fly into  Verona Airport , theoretically, you can be at Lake Garda in about an hour. You’ll just need to take the shuttle bus from the airport to the Verona Porta Nuova railway station and then the train to either Peschiera or Desenzano. In summer, there is also a direct bus which connects the airport to several of the lakefront towns.

Arriving at Peschiera del Garda or Desenzano del Garda by train, you can then quickly and easily travel by bus and/or ferry to many of the towns on the southern, western, and eastern shores of Lake Garda. Click  here  to consult the respective bus lines and  here  for the respective ferry lines.

Reaching the northernmost tip of the lake from these two train stations is a bit more problematic and it will take quite some time.

So, instead, you can take the train from the Verona Porta Nuova train station to the city of  Rovereto . Once there, you can get a bus to Riva del Garda and the other northern lakefront towns. Click  here  and consult the timetable of bus line 332 to find out how easy it is to reach Lake Garda from Rovereto – a charming city in the autonomous Italian province of  Trentino .

The only inconvenience of travelling by train to Lake Garda is that there aren’t more train stations directly serving the lake. Yet, with the two in Peschiera del Garda and Desenzano del Garda and the ones in Verona and Rovereto, the lake can be quickly and easily reached from all over Italy by train either for a day trip or a longer stay.

This is especially handy if you are arriving by plane and you need to travel to Lake Garda by public transport. Click to find out the  eight best airports for Lake Garda  so as to plan your journey accordingly. 

To check train times and book train tickets in advance, I find the following three websites very useful: Omio , ItaloTreno , and TrenItalia .

Otherwise, see this handy map below showing the exact locations of the train stations you can use for Lago di Garda . You can zoom in and out to get a better idea of their geographical positions on the shores of Italy’s largest lake. For example, you will notice that the train station of Desenzano del Garda is quite far from the town’s historic centre, so you can use the map to calculate walking directions and times.

Here are the locations pinned to the map:

Railway Stations on Lake Garda:   1.  Peschiera del Garda  2.  Desenzano del Garda – with  green  pin

5. Explore Lake Garda by Bike, e-Bike, and e-Scooter

Bicycles and cycling are held in high regard in Italy. You will see people of all ages riding their bikes all over the Italian towns and villages. They use them to keep fit and to get in an efficient and environmentally friendly way to where they need to be.

If you like to cycle, you will have plenty of opportunities to do it during your stay at Lake Garda. If bringing your own bike is not really possible, then ask in advance if your accommodation provides bikes to its guests either for free or for a fee. Many hotels around Italy’s largest lake offer this facility.

Otherwise, several companies at Lake Garda rent out bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters to tourists.

Two particularly beautiful places to cycle at Lake Garda are:

  • Sentiero di Ponale – a gorgeous cycling path which at points seems to hang over Lake Garda.
  • the promenade connecting the municipality of Brenzone sul Garda and the town of Malcesine . 

Just bear in mind the following cons of riding a bike at Italy’s largest lake:

  • Some towns on the shores of Lake Garda have rather steep streets that are not suitable for bikes. Malcesine is a point in case. However, towns like Lazise , Garda Town, Bardolino, and Riva del Garda (to mention but a few) are delightfully (and mostly) flat. Still, bear in mind that the streets in the historic centres here are often narrow, curving, covered with cobbles and, in addition, can get very busy during the high season.
  • Exercise utmost caution if you need to cycle on the lakeside road which circumnavigates the lake. Expect heavy traffic (especially during the high season), vehicles of all sizes and shapes, as well as driving styles reflecting the best and the worst practices of driving schools around Europe and beyond. 
  • Some of the tunnels at the northernmost tip of Lake Garda are very dark. Make sure that drivers can see you at all times by using reflectors and lights.

6. Explore Lake Garda on Foot

Often, your own two feet are all you need to explore Lake Garda from the most advantageous viewpoints.

There is a large number of hiking paths all around Italy’s largest lake. Not to mention the gorgeous promenades that connect many of the lakefront towns and open beautiful views towards the lake and the mighty mountains and hilly groups that hold it in a tight embrace.

Just make sure that you wear your most comfortable shoes! If you decide to explore the trails around the lake, these need to be proper hiking boots with a good grip.

In the following blog posts, I have described in detail some of my favourite hikes around Lake Garda. They take you to wonderful places and unveil to you the local way of life, the hidden charms of the lake, as well as some of the most stunning panoramic views to enjoy in Italy:

  • Lake Garda’s Tibetan Bridge – A High-Adrenaline Hiking Experience in the Veneto, Italy
  • Rocca di Garda – Hiking to the Best Panoramic Spot of Lake Garda, Italy
  • Campo di Brenzone – A Great Day Trip to a Medieval Village in the Hills above Lake Garda, Italy
  • Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona – Visiting Italy’s Church Suspended Between Heaven and Earth

If nature hiking is not really your thing but you are not averse to a bit of walking, then get going on the promenades that stretch between several of the lakefront towns and make it possible to simply stroll from one to the next. The most famous ones are:

  • the promenade that connects the towns of Lazise , Bardolino, and Garda;
  • the promenade that runs from the municipality of Brenzone sul Garda all the way to the town of Malcesine ; and
  • the promenade in the town of Salo’.

During the low season, make your way by car to Punta di San Vigilio and then explore on foot this probably most beautiful corner of Lake Garda. While during the high season, well-heeled visitors come here by flashy yachts and cars to enjoy the culinary delights of the onsite trattoria, in late autumn and winter, the place is a peaceful oasis and one of Italy’s most cinematographic settings. 

7. Cross Lake Garda on a Motorboat or Sailing Yacht

Hiring a motorboat (or a sailing yacht for that matter) to crisscross Lake Garda is one of the coolest ways to travel here.

There are dozens of companies all around the lake that charter boats to visitors. You can have a boat at your disposal for a few hours or a whole week if you like. Prices are not prohibitive and getting around Lake Garda by boat is a lot of fun, too.

If you don’t have any experience with motorboats or yachts, you can hire a skipper, too to take you places.

Bear in mind that the northern extremity of Lake Garda from Malcesine up towards Riva del Garda and Torbole is off-limits for motorboats as lots of people practice windsurfing and kitesurfing here. You should be given full instructions by the boat chartering company as to how further north you can venture and where is the cut-off line.

On a sunny day, there is nothing more pleasant than travelling by boat up and down or across Lake Garda. Prices depend on how long you will charter the boat and if you need to return it with a full tank or not. So far, we have paid between 120 and 150 euros for three hours. So, consider adding this experience to your own personal bucket list at Italy’s largest lake. 

A serious word of warning here, though! The lake water can get very cold very quickly. Especially, the further away from the shore you are. The boat chartering company should provide you with life jackets and advise you specifically where it’s considered safe to anchor and how close to the shore you can get.

During the high season, there is a high level of boat traffic in Lake Garda. Many luxury boats here travel at full speed. You need to observe proper distances from other boats, yachts, ferries, and the shore at all times.

If you don’t have prior experience driving boats and a skipper is not available to hire, then it’s best to book either a group or a private boat tour on Lake Garda. The most popular option is the short tour around the peninsula of Sirmio to see the beautiful town of Sirmione with its medieval castle, Roman ruins, the famous Jamaica Beach , and underwater thermal springs. The tour lasts just under half an hour and you can book it here .

Otherwise, this half-day Lago di Garda cruise is a great way to see some of the most beautiful local landmarks from the water and to enjoy some swimming in the lake and lunch on board. You can book many other boat cruises and trips either upon your arrival at one of the lakefront towns here or in advance on  GetYourGuide and  Viator .

8. Take a Taxi Around Lake Garda

Taxis in Italy are white by law and while they may cost a pretty penny, they offer a convenient way to reach Lake Garda and explore the many exciting sights on its shores. Especially, if you don’t want to bother with a rental car or with public transport. And, especially, if you don’t have much time to spend at the lake but you want to see as much as possible.

You can book a taxi even before your arrival as many taxi companies that serve Lake Garda have websites in several languages. You just need to search for ‘taxi Lake Garda’ or ‘taxi  the name of the lakefront town you want to visit ‘ and your favourite search engine will return dozens of results.

Otherwise, you can get a taxi from Verona Airport, Verona Porta Nuova train station, and the train and bus stations in the lakefront towns. You can also ask your hotel to call you one or to recommend a local taxi company for you to use.

Ask the taxi driver in advance approximately how much it will cost you to reach your destination. Be prepared that on Sundays and public holidays, a surcharge may apply.

The main inconvenience of travelling by taxi is the cost of the service. At the same time, getting a taxi here may be a necessity. Especially, if you need to reach a corner of Lake Garda that is off the beaten track. Or if you need to return to your accommodation late at night when public transport is not running.

Taxi companies may also offer customised tours of Lake Garda. This gives you a chance to circumnavigate the whole of the lake in a day and to stop exactly where you want on its shores.

9. Catch a Tourist Train at Lake Garda

The tourist train for Grotte di Catullo and Jamaica Beach - Sirmione, Lake Garda, Italy - rossiwrites.com

During the high season, small electric trains circulate at different spots around Lake Garda. In Italian, they are known as trenino turistico – tourist train. Some make it easy to reach certain landmarks and/or camping sites. Others provide a fun ride around one of the lakefront towns.

Here are a few places where you can jump on board a tourist train for fun or to easily reach a particular destination:

From Sirmione to Grotte di Catullo – small tourist trains ferry history buffs and beach-goers from Parco Don Lino Zorzi in the lakefront town of Sirmione to the archaeological park of the ancient Roman villa Grotte di Catullo. A short walk away from the historic ruins, you will find the best beach on Lake Garda – Spiaggia Giamaica . The train ride saves you from having to walk uphill in the hot weather. It takes you past lush gardens and lavish villas one of which once belonged to the famous opera singer Maria Callas.

San Felice del Benaco to the nearby camping sites – the southwestern and western shores of Lake Garda are dotted with numerous camping sites. A tourist train provides a quick and easy way to reach many of them starting from the lakefront town of San Felice del Benaco.

Town Trains – some of the lakefront towns have a small tourist train giving you a chance – against a small payment – to go on a fun ride along beautiful streets and past local sights and landmarks. It’s a great thing to do when visiting Lake Garda with kids . Some of the towns with a tourist train are Peschiera del Garda , Riva del Garda , Arco, Bardolino, and Garda Town. Bear in mind that this may be a seasonal service.

10. Book an Organised Tour Around Lake Garda

Finally, you can easily book a guided tour to take you around Italy’s largest lake – Lago di Garda . This option works well if you want to see the most and yet you don’t have much time to spend here. It is also the most convenient option if you prefer to be shown all the best corners of the lake by an experienced tour guide instead of trying to do it all by yourself.

This full-day Lake Garda tour comes highly recommended. It takes you to several of the prettiest towns around the lake. It also combines travel by bus and boat for the best views and the maximum range of experiences.

If you are staying in Verona , then you can book this easy day trip to Lago di Garda . It takes in the prettiest town on the lake’s shores and it includes an exciting boat ride as part of this unforgettable day.

If you are staying in Milan, you can enjoy this day trip taking in Desenzano del Garda and Sirmione on Lake Garda.

Have a browse through GetYourGuide and  Viator to see what other lake tours are available. You can also ask the accommodation you have booked in this corner of Italy to recommend a guided tour of the lake.

Moscow Metro and Swan Lake

A few days ago, I went with Elena and Becky on a trip around the Moscow metro, the second most heavily used metro system in the world. I didn’t know much about it before, but it’s an architectural marvel in and of itself, a gorgeous relic from Moscow’s Soviet past and Stalinist architecture in particular. We rode around the central brown line, a circle of 12 stations that Stalin oversaw the creation/renovation of in the 1930s and 40s. All are ornately decorated with different themes (sports, French palatial architecture, Lenin portraits, etc), in a way that was intended to remind the average rider of all the ways their government was giving back to them for their hard work. Apparently, they all have an emphasis on “verticality”, essentially meaning that either the ceilings are very lavish, or the art on the walls is dimensioned to draw the eye upwards, reminding metro-goers of the place of Stalin in their lives. Below are pictures of my favorite stations.

All of the stations are fairly deep underground, hence scarily steep escalators.

And finally, my favorite: a series of geometrical stained glass windows.

To top off our time in Moscow, last night we managed to get student rush tickets (for 100 roubles, or $3!) to closing night of Swan Lake at the Bolshoi Theater. The seats were terrible (it’s hard to explain how bad, but we had to stand for most of the show) but the ballet was incredible. We found out about the existence of student rush tickets/the process to get them very randomly, and as I haven’t found the process documented anywhere else, here’s a quick description: if you go to the Bolshoi at any given day starting at 6 am, you can put your name (and your group’s names) on a list for tickets to the day’s performance (it hosts ballet and opera performances on alternating days). A queue starts forming outside the theater at 2 pm, roughly based on the order of your name on the list, and tickets are handed out at 5:30 pm. Although this rushing system applies to all students, the ticket attendees might give you a hard time by refusing any non-Russian IDs (this actually happened to me, and I was only able to go as Elena’s boyfriend Luke kindly gave his up his ticket for me).

Fun fact: the Bolshoi is featured on the 100 Rouble note, and the insignia in front of the theater on the bill displays a hammer and sickle. Although hammers and sickles are still common sights around the city, the Bolshoi happens to have since switched its insignia to the logo of the modern Russian Federation, the double-headed eagle. Credit to Becky for noticing.

Seating in the Bolshoi: the big box on the right is known as Stalin’s Box. Apparently he fancied himself a connoisseur.

Random photo of the day: a small bakery at which we bought a jam bun and a small bag of glazed wheat rolls. Tiny bakeries like this are all over the place (including in the metro stations, with fully functioning mini-ovens!), and make me feel perpetually hungry as I walk around.
