The train stops there kid so you can train it to Verona and Venice. So yes, as a base it’s great… You have to get bus or taxi to train station from Airport but you can train it in from Bergamo M…the theme park has a free bus from that town also. I think there was one other town you could visit in the lake by train also, about 10 minutes spin only… The rest you’ll have to local bus, drive or boat.
We had a drink in the square up beside this the other night. Might go for lunch here in next few days.
Peschiera and Sirmione are great but the latter was wedged yesterday. Great swimming in Jamaica beach if you avoid slipping on the moss
Would highly recommend Lazise if you haven’t already been there. Some wonderful spots for dinner along the lakeside with the sun setting over the mountains on the opposite side of the lake. Lively but not half as busy as Sirmione. If you get there early enough you’ll have no bother getting a car parking space in the little car park near the centro.
We’re in Bella italia. Might as well be in Kelly’s hotel in Rosslare with the amount of people I’ve bumped into that we know. There’s a crew at a wedding in bardolino tmrw so will be heading up that way over the weekend.
We spent the day there yesterday visiting friends. Very busy spot alright, great access to the lake though and plenty of good facilities. We’re about 15 minutes out the road along the Mincio river in Altomincio. Great spot but you definitely need a car
