Hello,
My wife, two children, aged 3 and 6, and my 62 year-old mother will visit Lake Gardo for a short 4 days. I have been researching online but with such limited time the options are overwhelming.Where to stay, what to do, etc etc. …. If I may ask, what would you recommend in under our circumstances and which part of the lake should we look for accommodation? Thanks for any help and advice! Tim
Thanks for commenting Tim….I’ll reply by email. Ciao Roy
My husband & I are going to Lake Garda in September for one week,I would love some ideas as to what to do, where to go, all on a small budget Amy ideas would be greatly appreciated. Dee
Hi Dee,
I suppose it really depends on what your interests are.
If you like walking there is plenty of that to be done. You can check out some great Lake Garda walks here.
There are also many free or inexpensive events so you need to keep checking our events calendar.
The lake is very warm in September so a day on the beach is a great way to experience the lake without spending too much.
Or sit in a lakeside bar sipping on an aperitivo watching the world go by.
