Once Garda’s most sophisticated resort, the Gardone Riviera’s still got what it takes! Visit the exotic botanical gardens and stroll along the promenade and admire the elegant buildings, including Il Vittoriale, the spectacular former residence of Gabriele D'Annunzio - tickets sell out fast so aim to arrive early in the day.

Spend a perfect day walking among lakeside dwellings, alpine meadows and mountain trails. Simply pick up a map and get going. Don’t forget your picnic!
