Lake Garda 2024 - Part 1

Lago Di Garda
 
Wednesday - August 17th 2024
 
Claudia and I wanted to visit Lake Garda in Italy for quite some time now and this April we finally managed to get some days off of work to travel to Italy. Wednesday early morning we started our tour in rainy Salzburg. Once we crossed the border to Italy the weather got better and the sun came out. Along the way we stopped at Autogrill to get coffee and croissants. Around noon we arrived in Bardolino, a small village at Lake Garda. There we took a stroll along the promenade until we found a lovely lakeside bar to get a welcome drink. Later we checked out the lovely village before driving to our hotel in Sirmione.

In Sirmione we stayed at Hotel Alevic. Upon arrival our room was ready and after we checked in, we dropped off our luggage. Our room was nice and spacious and totally fine for a short trip. Later we headed into the old town of Sirmione with its beautiful Scaligero Castle. First we got a vegetarian piadina at Piadineria Sirmione, which was okay, but nothing special. Then we stopped at a nearby bar and coffee house, where we had tiramisu and an Aperol Spritz. Afterwards we just walked around the beautiful village before returning to the hotel, because it got really windy and cold with a little bit of rain.

In the evening, when the weather was better again, we went back to the old town of Sirmione to get dinner,but first we wanted see more of Sirmione. The whole village is a pedestrian zone and with all the narrow streets the village has a very special flair and look. Soon we got hungry and stopped a lovely restaurant called Bar Morderno, where we both ordered pasta, which was really good. Then we got ice cream and took a walk to the end of the peninsula before heading back to the hotel. There we got a drink at the bar before enjoying a quite evening in our room.
