Bardolino lies at the foot of rolling hills covered with orchards, olive groves and of course the vineyards for which the village is so famous.

In the attractive and lively traffic-free centre there are numerous bars, restaurants and smart shops. Its main square is full of inviting terrace cafés where you can relax and enjoy a glass of the excellent locally produced wine.

Evening choir and music concerts are also often held in the square. Bardolino has a very pretty harbour and a scenic 2 mile walk along the lakeside promenade takes you to neighbouring Garda.

Ferries and hydrofoils provide a pleasant and relaxing way to explore other lakeside villages, each with their own individual character and atmosphere.

There is a ferry service stopping at resorts including Garda and Riva, and a bus service along the east coast of Lake Garda and a train service from Pescheria.
