Lago di Garda Travel Forum

hi,

is it comfortable to "jump" from one village to another in the lakes - or it's prefererd to do that with a rented car?
we will have a car while our stay arround lazise or bardolino, and wandered whether to ride in the car for exapmle to LIMONE, or Sirmione - in stead of the ferry.
does the ferry stations are close to the center of attractions in those towns?
a distance walk (with a pushcart and a baby)?

Thank you very much.

Ferry are perfect (central easy etc etc....) EXCEPT for one thing. they are not so frequent!
This is the spring timetable:

But, if you find times fitting your plans, they are ok. No hassels of trafic and parking!

Ciao

Hi, besides the ferry service, there are buses. I caught the bus from Peschiera train station, this stops at all the towns around the lake. You get a good view of the Lake as you travel along - (sit on the left side of the bus if travelling up the right side of the lake)

http://www.lagodigardamagazine.com/index.asp?Lang=2&Menu=2 gives some bus timetables etc.


I caught the ferry from Brenzone to/from Malcesine. Most of the sights are within walking distance of the Ferry quay and harbour.

The cable car is a bit further. (If you check out the link above, there is lots of info about Lake Garda, and things to see/do including the famous cable car at Malcesine with timetable and prices - You can take a pram/ push chair on it.)

I'm not sure how easy it is to get around the towns by car, or how easy parking is in places such as Sirmione, particularly if your visit is in the height of the summer season.

I'm sure that you'll receive more replies from VTers who've travelled to/around Lake Garda by car. Have you checked out The Lago di Garda page, particularly the transportation tips for info of peoples travel experiences.

Have A Great trip,
Sue
