Our advice is not to miss the opportunity to visit Sirmione, a small town in the province of Brescia that enchants its visitors with the beauty of its breathtaking scenery and architecture full of history, so much that it has fully deserved the title ’Pearl of Lake Garda’. But also Lazise, Garda, Bardolino on the eastern side of Salò and Gardone on the western side are no less impressive. Our ticket will allow us

to navigate between these villages, getting off and on as we please, within the boats’ sailing hours of course. Return to Desenzano in the late afternoon and train to Verona. Return to the hotel in Verona and overnight stay.
