Thing to do in and around Padenghe sul Garda & Sirmione
Padenghe sul Garda
Padenghe is a small town on the Brescia side of Lake Garda with an ideal climate in every season and very easy to reach. Padenghe sul Garda is immersed in the green morainic hills which, softly arranged in a crown, cover a large area. This land is the production area of the most important D.O.C. of the province of Brescia: the "Garda Classico" belongs to the Valtenesi, the agricultural area that extends to the south-west of Garda, between Padenghe and Salò. You can also taste other renowned DOC wines, such as Chiaretto, Rosso and Rosso Superiore, with a harmonious and inviting taste and flavour.
Sirmione
Sirmione is one of the most famous villages of Lake Garda, which it crosses thanks to its unique geographical conformation, with a peninsula that "cuts" the lake separating the Brescia side from the Veronese side. Known throughout the world, Sirmione hosts tourists all year round who visit its wonders such as the historic center enclosed within the castle or the historic areas of the Grotte di Catullo. Sirmione is also renowned for its food and wine production and thermal springs where you can find relaxation or perform medical treatments.
