Sirmione: tourism, art and nature in the waters of Lake Garda

Sirmione stands on a long peninsula surrounded by the water of Lake Garda, with a panorama that stretches as far as the Alps.

The stone and pebble beaches, the landscape, the lush nature, the historical and artistic heritage, the magical romantic atmosphere, the vitality that you can experience in the narrow streets occupied at all times by new faces, these are just some of the elements that allow you to enjoy an exciting journey and unique experience.
