Where to stay in Garda

Old town and Piazza Catullo

Getting around Garda

Visit Garda says the closest airports to the lake are Verona-Villafranca, at about 15 km, and Brescia-Montichiari, at about 30 km, both in the southern part of the lake and linked to the railway stations of Verona and Brescia by an aerobus service. Bergamo-Orio al Serio is about 80 km from the lake, Milan Linate, Milan Malpensa and Venice about 100 km, and Bologna about 150 km. These distances are given for Lake Garda rather than Garda town.

Wikivoyage lists bus services from Verona and from Verona airport, and warns to expect heavy traffic throughout the summer. In the town itself, walking is enough, and Wikivoyage suggests a bike for the surroundings. The tourist information office, IAT Garda, is listed on Piazza Donatori di Sangue.

Living in Garda for longer

Garda is one of the smallest towns in the province of Verona, so for a longer stay the old town and lakefront cover day-to-day walking, and Wikivoyage points to bikes for the surroundings. Verona is 32 km away by Wikipedia's count, and Visit Garda says an aerobus links Verona-Villafranca airport with Verona railway station. For other lakeside bases with different amenities, compare Lazise and Desenzano del Garda.

When to visit Garda

Visit Garda describes a sub-Mediterranean climate around the lake, which it calls a prealpine xerothermic oasis. Its table gives air temperatures of 24 to 32 °C from June to August and 5 to 15 °C from December to February, with lake water at 17 to 27 °C in the summer months.

The same source describes two main winds: the Pelèr, blowing north to south in the morning, and the Ora, blowing from the south in the afternoon until evening. Wikipedia gives the town's patron saint day as the Assumption in August.

For other bases on the lake, see Lazise, Manerba del Garda, Bardolino and Desenzano del Garda, or the Italy page. Aparthotels versus hotels sets out the differences between the formats.
