Bardolino
A village on the lake, with vineyards and olive groves behind it. The climate is mild in winter and warm, but not muggy, in summer. From Bardolino wine to spas, there is much more than the beach.
Surroundings
Bardolino lies on the Verona shore of Lake Garda: the village by the water, the hills behind, among vineyards and olive groves.
Getting around
On foot or by bike.
It is the best way to get around Bardolino, Calmasino and Cisano: walking and cycling routes are on visitbardolino.it. In the centre there is also an electric tourist train, from Piazza del Porto.
From Piazzale Aldo Moro, ATV buses go to Verona and to Verona Villafranca airport (atv.verona.it). From the harbours of Bardolino and Cisano, ferries sail all over the lake (navigazionelaghi.it). You can also rent motorboats.
