Hi,

Going to Lake Garda in 3 weeks! Any suggestions on things to do?

I was there at Easter and it is absolutely beautiful. Are you sporty? There's a huge amount of cycling in the area as you can cycle around the lake and through many of the small villages of the lake. We stayed in Riva Del Garda, the largest town on the lake. There's a huge amount of watersports, I think everywhere on the lake but particularly up at the Riva del Gada end as there's a certain wind that comes over the mountains about noon that makes it ideal. The most prominent water sports were sailing and moreso windsurfing, so you could try those out? You can take a cable car to the top of a nearby mountain too and walk around up there. Can't remember anything else, we were only there for 3 days before moving on to Innsbruck. Verona isn't that far away for a day trip if you have a car and it's definitely worth a visit.

Thanks for the tips. I'll definately be interested in walking. My partner in watersports. This will all be to work off lovely Italian cuisine. Any good restaurants you went to?
