There are so many things to do in Lake Garda that it would be impossible for one agency to know everything. As well as the official Lake Garda tourist information offices, which you can find in almost all of the major towns, there are now also many Pro loco offices.
Pro loco offices are set up to provide very local knowledge of the town or district they are serving and are usually run by people with a passion for the area so you can expect a great service.
Of course some are set up better than the others, and provide information in an easier to follow format. This map of the Lake Garda Tourist Information and Pro Loco offices will at least help you find the offices in the area you are are interested in.
As with all maps on this website I have tried to provide all the links you require to find the information you require. For best use of the map follow these instructions:
I’ve spent may hours searching to provide the info on this map so if you can’t find what you’re looking for then apologies…I will continue to update the map and your input is always welcome.
Hello,
I would appreciate it if you could send me a town plan of Garda (the town) as I am booked for two weeks.
Thank you.

Hi Ronald, sorry that is not something we have, we only provide information via the website. I suggest you contact the local tourist office, you can find their details here. I hope this helps. Thanks Roy

I am wanting to travel to Lake Garda in October, probably about 17th October for one week with my Wife but I am unsure if the main places of interest will still be open. Has anyone had experience of travelling to Lake Garda in October and offer me any useful tips?
Many thanks.
Stephen Hodgson
Hi Stephen,
Sorry for the late response. Lake Garda is and all year round destination, it depends what what you’re interested in but I’m sure you’ll find plenty to do. October is a great time to visit…the weather can still be quite warm. I spent the last 6 October’s in Lake Garda….at the very least you’ll be able to visit the historic lakeside towns without the crowds. I’m sure you will love it.
Have a great holiday
Roy
Caio, We are wanting to do a full day trip on the Lake in June stopping off at a few towns and then continuing on. Much like a hop on hop off trip, Can this be done, if so, what ticket should I purchase and what is the cost?
Hi Jenny, when you arrive you should go down to the ticket office in the town you are staying. They will have lots options of which towns to visit in one day, usually they have itineraries pinned up on the wall of the ticket office. remember the lake is very big so you will probably only want to visit 4 or 5 towns in one day. It is best to do some research on the towns before you go then you can get an idea of where to go. I am just in the process of creating a page for each town, they should be ready by the end of March so keep checking back. I will be updating the time tables and price list on our Lake Garda Ferries page soon.
Hi Jenny,
I just found a list of itinerary’s and prices on the Navi Garda website……I hope they help. Roy
Hi. We are arriving by train at Desenzano in July and catching the LN027 bus tonRica Del Garda. Can you tell me when the July bus timetable will be available on line please. Also there are 4 adults each with a suitcase and I understand there will be a charge for this on the bus. Thank you for helping.
Hi Linda,
I believe the timetable is annual but here is a document with some links to check timetables online. I’m unsure about paying for luggage but I have contacted the bus company and will let you know if they reply. Hope this helps. Roy
Hi,
We arrive Bergamo in July (early morning) and staying Desenzano del Garda. We are not hiring a car but wanting to use public transport, can you advise the best options to take to arrive Desenzano
Hi Tim, when you arrive at Bergamo you can either take a taxi or a coach. There is a ticket office for the coach just as you come out of arrivals, it’s not very expensive, you may have to change at Brescia. Hope this helps. roy

We are wanting to visit Riva del Garda this May. After that we plan to visit
Venice. Could you please give us some suggestion about how to travel from Riva del Garda to Venice?
Hi Scott, you should find the info you need on this page: venice-a-day-trip-from-lake-garda
we are going to garda 11/05 till17/05 my wife and mother in law are bargin shopping freaks so need to know about markets in morning and evening can you help
cheers
mark
Hi Mark, this is a list of Lake Garda market days, there will be artisan market throughout the season, you will need to check back on the Love Lake Garda events calendar to get info about these.
Ciao. We are staying in Limone early July. I have booked the opera in Verona. What is the best way and most economical way of getting there. I have booked a night stay and want to travel back to limone the following day. Thank you.
Ciao, sorry for the late response. The most economical way to travel would be to get the Limone to Malcesine ferry and then pick up a bus. There is a Lake Garda – Opera bus service but the webpage for it is under construction, so you will need to keep checking back. Alternatively there is the regular Lake Garda to Verona bus route that you can work out the bus times from. If you are staying in a hotel they should be able to give you good advice. I hope this helps. Roy
i am looking for a particular shop if it still running it sells drinks like the slush puppies but the shop has a load of different flavours. i am sure its in lazise but could be wrong i do know its was in the lake garda region. would you happen to know where a shop like this is thanks
Hi Mark, sorry I can’t help you to locate that particular shop but there are similar shops in most towns around the lake.
Hi. We are visiting lake Garda in June and are flying into Verona. Are there any shuttle buses to transfer us to Bardilino? It will be evening time and not confident to get the train. I have only been able to find private taxis which are quite expensive. Many thanks Jane
Hi Jane, I believe there is a bus service between the airport and Bardolino, i think the line you want is 164 but I’m not sure how late the buses run. You would need to contact the bus company direct to check.
Have you tried your hotel to see if the run a shuttle or transfer service?
You could try the Lake Garda taxi company on my Lake Garda travel page, I’ve found them to be the most reasonable transfer costs. I hope this helps. roy
Hi could you please tell me how much the ferry’s and the boats are on the lake please? Can you book them on a daily basis of do you book them on a weekly basis? We are coming for a two week stay at the end of June. Any information or where would be best to find out would be much appreciated
Many thanks
Sarah.
Hi Sarah, you should find the info you are looking for on our Lake Garda Ferries page. I hope this helps. Roy
Hello
I am due to spend two weeks ( at two different hotels) around the Lake ,, I am unsure as to hire a car or travel around by Bus , water ferry.
Are there any “local ” car hire firms I can hire for a shorter period ( rather than the full two weeks) ?
I am arriving to Verona by train ,,, what cost would a taxi be to Barbarano ?
thank you
rob
Hi Rob, sorry for late response. I would recommend getting a hire car because by the time you’ve paid your return taxi fare it would almost cost the same. Then you’d have a car to get to places but I’d also choose to take the ferry some days. As far as I’m aware you’d need to book the hire car at the airport. Hope this helps Roy
I would like to do a bit of fishing when we stay in Garda in September. Is there a permit I require, how would I get one? Also are there any shops which sell bait in the town?
Thanks in anticipation
Neil
Hi Neil, unfortunately this is something I don’t have the answer to. I know that you can fish but I don’t know whether or not you need a permit, I will try to find out next time I go in a couple of weeks. I also don’t know if there is a fishing shop in Garda, but I expect so. I’m sure if you sent an email to [email protected] they will be able to answer you better. Would love some feedback, but will also try to find out. Sorry not much help in this instance. Buona vacanza. Roy
Hello
Can you tell me if the ferry ticket offices on Lake Garda accept credit cards please, last time (2010) they didn’t. Similarly cable car. We are staying at Gardone Riviera next week.
Many thanks
Stella
Ciao Stella, I believe you can pay with credit cards at the ferry ticket offices. You can buy tickets on line for the Monte Baldo cable car using a credit card.
We are staying in Garda for a week can we park a hire car and if so what is the cost
Hi John, yes you can always find somewhere to park. There’s plenty of free parking around the lake but it’s usually time limited. If you do find s free space you will need to set your parking dial in the car to show what time you arrived. If you’re not lucky enough to find a free space you can expect to pay around €2 per hour on average.
Hi. Is there a luggage storage in sirmione? Thanks
Hi Luke, sorry I can’t answer this, maybe you could contact the tourist office in Sirmione.
Hi there I am looking to book an excursion whilst I’m away this month. I would love a day cruise / prosecco light lunch site seeing etc: I’m finding it really difficult to find a site that goes from Porto Portese if you could help me out I would be so greatful. Thank you
Hi Rebecca,
How about this lake garda tour or you could book as boat with a skipper, the price is around €270 for a 1.5 hour tour including prosecco. It really depends on your budget…..let me know. Ciao Roy
Hi, im looking for a lake garda promotion card, is it possible to get one from your tourist office?
Grazie
Hi Bob, I really don’t know the answer to this LLG is purely web based info….you will need to contact a tourist office direct to find out this info….ciao Roy
I am seeking a reasonable priced pensione for late september on east side of lake any suggestikons?
Hi George, sorry for the late response, I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for on HomeAway, they have properties to suit everyone.
Hi,
We are staying in Moniga in sept. Have you anywhere near that hires fishing equipment and info what it required to fish in the lake ie rules and requaltions
Hi Janet, the only fishing shop I really know is pescamania in Roe which 20-30 mins from Moniga. I’m certain you can fish, Pescamani will tell you all the regulations. Hope this helps Roy
Are there any tours from Desenzano around Lake Garda on 30th September- 1st October? It seems that everything stops running the week before>
Hi Ewa, most of the organised summer tours finish in September but there will still be boats on the water providing private tours…..what did you have in mind?
Hi,
Can you please send me the ferry’s timetable for May 2020. I will be staying in Peschiera and want to take the ferry to Limone but want to stop at other towns on the way. Does the ferry run at night and/or when is the last ferry from Limone to Peschiera.
How do I buy tickets for multi stops in one day?
Thanks, Anne
Hi Anne, you can find the summer timetable on our Lake Garda Ferries page. The spring timetable for next year is not released yet but you’ll get an idea from the summer timetable, although the service will be slightly reduced, you can get an idea from the Lake Garda Ferries 2019 spring timetable. You can buy tickets at the ticket office in Peschiera on the day or during the preceding days. Hope this helps Roy
Hi

Hi Adam,
I’m so sorry for the late reply, I hoped there would be some good news but there isn’t……unfortunately at the moment you can’t move between the regions. Things are always changing so you will need to check when you are there. Best Roy
Hi
We are coming to Lake Garda in October (this year) . Is the cycle track open all thd way around the lake? There is information saying that it was to be completed by summer 2021 but I’m nothing up to date to say it actually is open. If there are sections still to be completed it would be useful know what parts they are. We are keen to cycle around the lake over 4-5 days but not wanting to go into busy roads.
Thanks
Hi, the honest answer is that I’m not up to scratch, I’ve been unable to visit the lake this year and have lost some of my usual sources for info. I’ll reach out to some people and see if I can get an answer for you….apologies. Roy
Our Family is planning to be in Sirmione in early June. Can you please tell me when the Bisse races will be there.
Thank You
Mary Sue
Hi Mary, they will be in Sirmione at some point, but as of yet I don’t believe they have released the program dates. As soon as I find them I will update the Events Calendar.
Hi we are coming to Lake Garda in 2 weeks and looking to cycle round it over the two weeks staying in various parts around the lake is this possible or do we have to leave the lake to cycle on main roads to get round ? Also we are looking to hire bikes and have found Veronabikerental in Lazise online, can you confirm there is bike company before we pay a deposit to LOS LOCOS S.n.c kind regards
Hi, the bike rental site looks ok to me but I don’t know it personally. You would need to leave the lake to ride on the main road. If you send an email to the company I’m sure they will give you expert advice.A presto Roy
