Santa Maria Maggiore Church, Sirmione

Highlight • Religious Site

Ancient church in the historic center where you can admire a large organ, pulpits, frescoes (unfortunately not restored), stained glass windows and sensational ceilings.
Gothic style, the tower detached from the building is very particular.
Definitely worth a visit.

Sirmione Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Beautiful old town with lovely alleyways. Probably even busier in the season than it was now. Still very worth seeing.

Flaminia Square, Sirmione

Highlight • Settlement

A moat separates the old town at the tip of the peninsula from the rest of the mainland. From here, only a few cars can drive with special permission, so that pedestrians can undisturbed discover the small winding streets with many shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes. Special attention should be paid to the variety of very good gelateries. Narrow streets and historic stone houses dominate the image of the old town of Sirmione. Of the 7,000 inhabitants of the municipality of Sirmione live just under 300 in the historic city. At the entrance of the old town stands the sublime Scaliger Castle. Keep left to find the Piazza Carducci and the Navigarda ferry terminal, from where the Garda ferries depart for Salo, Moniga del Garda, Garda and the northern part of Lake Garda. Worth seeing is the parish church of Santa Maria di Maggiore from the 15th century. The interior testifies to a baroque style in the 18th century. In the neighborhood there is a recently opened to the public attraction - the Villa Romana. It is a restored Roman villa in the middle of the old town development. At the end of the old town joins the Mavino hill, which is overgrown with ancient olive trees. Sirmione is also a health resort. West of the Mavino hill, the Biola spring feeds a thermal bath. The healing effect has been known since antiquity and has been attracting spa tourists to Sirmione since the end of the 19th century. This is followed by the Roman excavation site of the "Caves of Catullus".

Highlight • Bridge

City gate with (former) drawbridge.
The moat separates the old town at the tip of the peninsula from the rest of the mainland.

The bridge is the only access road to the old historic center of Sirmione.

June 1, 2025,🇮🇹 Italien, Lombardei - Gardasee (von Sirmione nach Desenzano del Garda)

Gardasee, Sirmione und Desenzano del Garda | 11. Mai 2025

Der folgende Text stammt von Faltenriese:

„Der Gardasee erstreckt sich vom Alpenrand her zunächst ziemlich schmal, jedoch allmählich breiter werdend, nach Südwesten hin aus. Südlich einer Linie von Salò am Westufer nach Garda am Ostufer wird er dann plötzlich viel breiter. Auf der Landkarte erinnert seine Form etwas an eine …

Despite light rain, we set off on foot to Sirmione 👫Luckily, the rain stopped quickly. Sirmione is very beautiful to look at, the castle, the narrow streets, the old town, but also quite a lot of people. We went back to Desenzano by boat 😊🇮🇹👫

May 25, 2024,Jamaica Beach am Gardasee

Off to Jamaica Beach.
Sandy beach, blue water, cocktails in coconuts.
Right on Lake Garda! That's where we want to go.
Well-stocked with breakfast, we packed our backpacks. Off we went. Only 8km and then we were supposed to enjoy Jamaica.
The plan was almost thwarted. A photo opportunity was the reason for me to pause and delve into creativity. …

Today we went to the weekly market in Desenzano. Since it wasn't very big and we still had a lot of energy, we made a plan to visit the water castle in Sirmione.😁
The castle and the alleys around it are definitely worth a visit and absolutely worth seeing.👍🏻
I think it's also a very good destination for anyone who …
