Sirmione Resort Guide
Resort Information
The Romans were the first to discover the attractions of Sirmione and wrote in praise of the beauty of the long finger of land pointing into the water at the southern end of Lake Garda. The Scaligeri castle stands sentinel at the entrance to the historic town and pedestrians enjoy a maze of narrow streets through the medieval town which has limited traffic access. There are attractive cafés, elegant shops, villas and churches.
Walking
Beyond the town a little electric train transports visitors to a green oasis with panoramic walks. The church of San Pietro and the remains of the Caves of Catullo, the largest Roman villa in Northern Italy, are interesting places to visit. Attractive gardens in the area include the Sigurtà Park and Gardone Botanical Gardens.
