From Verona to Lake Garda: a journey through charming villages, history and unforgettable
04 giugno 2025
Travelling from Verona to Lake Garda is much more than moving from one place to another: it’s a scenic route that passes through romantic villages, vineyards, medieval walls and shimmering waters that change colour throughout the day.
It’s the perfect itinerary for those who want to explore the area without rushing, enjoying every moment thanks to the comfort of a chauffeur-driven service that turns each transfer into an experience.
Leaving Verona means stepping away from its Roman and Scaliger atmosphere and watching the landscape slowly open up, widen and soften. And before you realise it, Lake Garda appears in front of you.
The sweetness of the Mincio River and the charm of Borghetto
Before reaching the lake, the route takes you to one of the most picturesque areas near Verona: Valeggio sul Mincio.
Here the hills lower, the river flows quietly, and Borghetto: a tiny village suspended between water and stone,welcomes visitors with its timeless charm.
A stop is almost a must: a coffee overlooking the Visconti Bridge, a stroll among the old mills, or a taste of the famous handmade tortellini. It’s the perfect beginning to settle into the peaceful rhythm of Lake Garda.
Peschiera del Garda: the fortified gateway to the lake
Continuing the journey, the scenery transforms once again. Streams, canals and walls appear: this is Peschiera del Garda, a Venetian fortress built directly on the water.
It’s here that the lake reveals itself for the first time deep blue, wide and full of life.
Walking through the bastions or along the historic centre is the ideal way to begin discovering the vibrant side of Garda.
Lazise and Bardolino: lakeside walks, wine and sunsets
Following the shoreline, you enter one of the most loved areas of the lake.
In Lazise, the narrow streets fill with colours, gelato, small shops and waterfront cafés.
The promenade, elegant and panoramic, shifts shade with the movement of the sun.
A few minutes away, Bardolino greets visitors with its vineyards and its famous wines: Bardolino and Chiaretto.
It’s the perfect place to take a break, enjoy a tasting or relax by the water.
Garda and Punta San Vigilio: the poetry of the lake
The town of Garda is the epitome of elegance and tranquillity.
A little further on lies Punta San Vigilio, one of the most photographed and iconic corners of Lake Garda.
A small promontory, a quiet bay, gentle waves and a peaceful atmosphere that feels almost suspended.
It’s a place that deserves time, without rushing.
Sirmione: history, thermal waters and a timeless village
If you decide to explore the western shores, Sirmione rewards you with one of the most impressive settings on the lake.
The lakeside Scaliger Castle, the Grottoes of Catullus surrounded by olive trees, and the thermal waters have made it one of the most enchanting spots on Garda.
Every alley has character: vivid, historical and theatrical.
