    Pass By: Sirmione, Sirmione, Province of Brescia, Lombardy

    The small, charming village stands in an iconic position, on a peninsula extending for four kilometers from the southern coast of lake Garda. The town centre is guarded by the Rocca Scaligera, a majestic fortress built during the Veronese domination of Sirmione, in the 13th and 14th century.
    Nowadays, Sirmione is a popular tourist site due to its thermal barths and archeological remains, dating back to the Roman age.

    Pass By: Bardolino, Bardolino, Province of Verona, Veneto

    The town stands on the Southeastern coast of lake Garda, thus taking advantage of a very mild climate. The site was inhabited since the 2nd millennium B.C., then becoming a stable Roman settlement in the 2nd century B.C., shortly after Verona, the chief town of this area.
    In the medieval age the town was the seat of an important monastery and later, especially under the government of Veronese family Della Scala, it was ringed by massive walls. The churches of St. Zeno, St. Severus and the monastery of St. Columban, outstanding monuments of the centre, date back to this age.

    Stop At: Lazise, Lazise, Province of Verona, Veneto

    The town, favored by the lakeside mild climate and by a panoramic position on lake Garda, is a major tourist destination. Inhabited since the 2nd millennium B.C., it became an important commercial hub during the Roman age, being on the way for the goods coming from Germany. In the late 10th century it gained extensive autonomy from the Sacred Roman Empire, being thus considered as the first free municipality in Italy.
    In the 17th century the so called "Dogana Veneta" was built: a large warehouse, previously the harbor arsenal, used as a customhouse and today a congress centre.
