Garda, a small town on the east shore of Lake Garda in northeastern Italy, is a wonderful resort located in the Veneto region of Italy. You will undoubtedly want to start with a walk on the shoreline of the lake and admire the nature unfolding in front of you. There is a sidewalk along the water's edge that stretches across the city and is covered by beautiful trees in many places.
On the one hand, there is a beautiful view of Lake Garda, and on the other, you can walk next to the port with the fleet of tiny boats, where you can also book your boat trips on the lake. There are many tiny pubs and cafes on the other side of the sidewalk where you can stop for a drink.
Behind the seafront, the ancient city is also extremely attractive. The streets are small and full of colorful buildings, many of which have been turned into tourist shops and will make you wander in the old town gazing at the shop windows. There are also many restaurants in Garda where it may be best to find a shady area for your lunch in the old town rather than on the lake shore. We recommend visiting Malcesine, a small town north of Garda, and Lazise, a town south.
