6 Must-See Towns on Lake Garda

When we talk about holidays in Italy, names and places of all kinds keep coming up. One of the favorite destinations for those who want to enjoy tourism that is not wild but rather thoughtful and pleasant is the cluster of towns along the shores of Lake Garda.

Lake Garda is the largest lake in all of Italy and lies at the border of three different regions: Lombardy, Veneto, and Trentino-Alto Adige.Already in Roman times, the lake was considered by wealthy citizens of the empire as the perfect place for relaxation, as evidenced by the remains of several villas, designed as places dedicated tootium and leisure.

From the Renaissance onward, the shores of the lake began to be dotted with noble villas, especially in the northwestern area; this immediately gave the lake the status of a destination for elite tourism.For this reason, Lake Garda has also appeared in luxury hotel guides authored by some of the world's top travel writers. Condé Nast included a couple of hotels on the lake among the most incredible travel experiences of 2018.

The combination of climate, products, and scenic beauty has over the centuries reinforced the lake's importance within the tourism microcosm. In the second half of the twentieth century, the situation expanded further, helped by the entertainment industry formed by what we now know as the Garda theme parks: Gardaland, Canevaworld, Sigurtà,the Parco Natura Viva are important examples of this evolution.

Lake Garda, along its perimeter, hosts as many as 26 different towns, belonging to various provinces and regions.
