Local culture
Spa
The Scaligero castle has a tower affording jaw droppingly beautiful views of Sirmione and the lake. From up here it is easy to see why Sirmione has been popular with tourists for centuries. One of the best examples of this is the Roman Grotto of Catullus, if you are starting from the castle the grotto is about 1km on foot, there is also a tourist train if you are feeling more lethargic. A speedboat trip around the peninsula is exhilarating and a great way to see Sirmione from a new perspective.
The name Sirmione has been synonymous with thermal waters since 1889 when they were discovered bubbling up through the lake, modern visitors to Sirmione can experience a wealth of pampering treatments at the resorts spas. Why not prebook entry to the chic Aquaria spa, with views of lake Garda as the backdrop, it truly is the height of luxury. Short breaks
