About Sirmione
Sirmione packs two thousand years of history onto a single narrow peninsula, from Roman villa remains at the Grotte di Catullo to the Scaliger Castle guarding the harbour. A guided walk such as the Sirmione Private Walking Tour: Roman Ruins & Scaliger Castle Secrets lets you read those layers up close, while the Sirmione Away from the Crowds: Boat and Walking Tour with a Drink pairs the peninsula's quieter corners with its past.

Frequently asked questions
Sirmione's history is concentrated on one small peninsula: Roman villa remains at the Grotte di Catullo, the medieval Scaliger Castle with its harbour fortifications, and centuries of thermal bathing tradition. A history-focused tour connects these sites with context, so you understand what you are looking at rather than just photographing it.
