About Gardone Riviera
Gardone Riviera packs an outsized cultural punch for a small lakeside town on the western shore of Lake Garda, thanks to the Vittoriale degli Italiani, the eccentric hillside estate of poet Gabriele d'Annunzio. A guided visit brings its war memorabilia, gardens and museums into focus, as with the Guided Visit to the Vittoriale degli Italiani and Museums, which pairs the estate's history with its collections. Beyond the villa, the town's Liberty-era architecture and lakefront promenades reward slow, curious wandering.
