Lake Garda with kids
Lake Garda is one of the most complete family destinations in Italy. On the Verona shore, a few kilometres apart, sit Gardaland, the country's largest theme park, the SEA LIFE aquarium, the Natura Viva wildlife park and the Parco Giardino Sigurtà.
On the lake itself there are the equipped beaches at Lazise, Bardolino and Peschiera, the flat cycle path around the lower lake, and short walks such as the one to the Varone waterfall.
