Things to do in Salò
Salò has been the Garda area's cultural hub for centuries, sitting on the gulf that bears its name, the widest bay on the lake. The arcaded street linking the Clock Tower to the Duomo runs through the heart of town; the Mu.Sa. museum devotes a section to the area's refined violin-making tradition.
