    Beautiful spot. Very easy to get from there to Venice for a day trip via train.

    Gardaland is great! If you like roller coasters etc it's fab. In general it's just a lovely area. I'd say it'd be great to hire a car and drive around checking out the scenery. (When I was there it was at the tail end of an interrailing holiday so we didn't do much that entailed spending money!)

    you dont even need a car. If you are near the coast you can just get a boat up down or across the lake, or hire a speedboat to go at your own pace !
    Peschiera is on the rail line and very accessable, Garda town is nice and reasonably lively, Bardolino a few mile away is more posh and for honeymooners or pensioners but pretty much every town and village there is lovely and very set up for tourists.

    Go to Malcesine and take the cable car up to Monte Baldo. We perfer to stay at the northern end of lake in places like Riva and Torbole. More picturesque that end.

    Have stayed in Peschiera a few times, beautiful location.

    I'd recommend a trip to Sirmione, its absolutely stunning! You can get a bus up from Peschiera its only about 20mins.

    We had kids with us so did Gardaland and Caneva water park.

    Loads of places to eat and drink and ice cream to die for.

    Verona is only half an hour away and you can also do a day trip to Venice, which is worth seeing.

    Sept is a nice to go, we were there in August two years ago and the heat nearly killed me!
