About Sirmione
Sirmione itself is a history lesson — a Scaliger castle guarding a peninsula where Roman poet Catullus once had his villa — but its position on Lake Garda makes it an ideal base for reaching the wider region's cultural landmarks. The Full-Day Verona Tour from Lake Garda covers the Roman arena and medieval centre of Verona, while the From Venice: Verona, Borghetto & Stunning Sirmione on Lake Garda adds the fortified village of Borghetto to the itinerary.

Frequently asked questions
Sirmione sits on a peninsula with a Roman villa attributed to Catullus and a 13th-century Scaliger castle, so the town itself is the starting point. Day trips extend that context to Verona's Roman arena and medieval centre, or to fortified villages like Borghetto, giving you the wider Lombardy and Veneto picture rather than a single site.
