Best Sirmione Tours & Trips
Stretching out onto the Sirmio peninsula, the commune of Sirmione is surrounded by Lake Garda, one of the major lakes of the Italian Lake District. Once a major resort area for early Roman nobles from Verona, Sirmione is still a popular destination for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Lake Garda. Ancient Roman ruins still stand here today, the most notable being the Grottoes of Catullus, which was once a villa. Due to prehistoric human remains found within the area, the region is designated a World Heritage Site.
