As much as this archeological site is interesting as such, it boasts the lake views to come there for! It is easy to spend several hours here, even half a day if the weather is nice. The museum is surrounded by meadows with old olive trees, so you will always find some shade. Bringing your own lunch and enjoy it sinking in the lake views could be a good idea!

along the paths to the ruins, take time to come up to the church. Music playing sets the mood for the soft frescoed walls, old benches with worn places where thousands of feet have rested over the years,,,

We had no expectations about Sirmione, lake Garda was the beauty we've expected to see and meet, but Sirmione ended up to be one of the most beautiful places we've visited this spring on our Northern Italy trip! Warm, peaceful, green, clean, flowery, with beautiful small stores and restaurants, narrow streets full of flowers and nice people... and stunning lake Garda surrounding it from all of it's sides. Truly beautiful and breathtaking! Perfect place for holidays, vacation and finding peace inside of yourself... even for summer vacation, you have beautiful places for swimming... amazing. Truly.

Embedded in the historic urban fabric of Sirmione, it is easy to walk past and miss it, but it is one of the best churches to visit, in part due to its scale, compared to the other churches. In addition to the frescos, you have a fine Renaissance organ case and an interesting, if slightly incongrious, wooden pulpit. The church waa built in the 15th century on the site of a previous building and today displays frescos from the previous building that were rediscovered during 20th century restorations, in addition to others after the rebuilding.

Sirmione - a little town in the south of the Garda Lake. My impressions? Simply breathtaking views. Lots of parking places, unfortunatelly majority not for free - 1,8 euro per hour. Not bad, but consider you will stay there several hours. The castle (6 euro entrance fee for adults) but views compensate everything. Walking paths along the shore, mountains on the other side of the lake with white tops (snow), and the italian atmosphere - this is what you can expect from Sirmione. Oh, also very important - lots of place to sit, drink caffe or have lunch. When travelling in vicinity of Garda, Sirmione is a MUST.
