Lake Garda
Experience the extravagant beauty of the largest of the Italian Lakes, Lake Garda, with its gentle climate, superb scenery, and some of the best windsurfing in Europe. Lake Garda's varied scenery combines the lush citrus groves, olives and vines of the Brescia Riviera and the sophisticated resorts of the western shore. Majestic mountains tower in the background and the sparkling waters of the lake are breathtaking. It's closeness to alpine mountains, the Adriatic sea and the famous cities of Milan, Verona and Venice, make it an ideal destination.
Lake Garda is ideal for windsurfing, sailing and canoeing as well as for yachting, fishing and diving. The inland area surrounding the lake is perfect for people fond of mountain-biking and horse-riding, for golf and tennis fans and for those who enjoy taking long walks or trekking in the surrounding mountains, where in winter you can also ski.
It is impossible to become bored in Lake Garda after dark. For those who enjoy a livelier night, there are discos, pubs and live-music venues, whilst those who prefer to relax can take advantage of the magical atmosphere created by the lights glittering on the lake surface. To complement these views, in the summer the night sky is often filled with fireworks.
