A wide moat separates Sirmione's traffic-calmed old town from the mainland, which here juts narrowly and long four kilometers into Lake Garda, making the much-visited little town literally the icing on the cake of the southern lakeshore.
A beautiful moated castle sits enthroned next to the only bridge, and the romantically winding, colorful old town makes Italian dreams come true. North of it, the park-like tip of the island invites you to take an idyllic walk with an enchanting view of the lake.
At the end of the cypress and olive groves are the "Grottoes of Catullus" - the ruins of one of the largest Roman villas in Italy. Here at the tip of the island, the shore is surrounded by a wide ring of limestone slabs and you can find some very nice swimming spots.
