> Italy > Bay of Salò

Resort Information

Salò is still without doubt one of the most beautiful resorts on the lake and today the wide lakeside promenade is the main attraction with a definite buzz around its many restaurants, pizzerias and shops. In this forgotten corner of Lake Garda the atmosphere is refreshingly uncommercialised with a delightful Italian flavour. There are designer boutiques, characteristic shops selling local delicacies and cafés in which to sit, enjoy a drink and soak up the ambience. The bay is well protected from the northern winds and thus a favourite with fishermen, yachtsmen and windsurfers. Salò's Saturday market is allegedly the best in the whole area.

Walking

There are pleasant strolls along the gently curving lakeside promenade and through the narrow cobbled streets of the historical town centre. The shady hills behind the town also provide lots of scope for more energetic rambles.
