Sirmione, Lago di Garda
Veneto
Sirmione occupies a remarkable 4 km limestone finger pushing into Lake Garda. The Scaligeri castle (one of Italy's best preserved) guards its entrance, and the Roman spa ruins of the Grotte di Catullo crown the tip. The thermal waters still bubble up at 69°C. Walk the full circuit for lake views on both sides.
