Lake Garda

Lombardy's largest reservoir

Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy, situated in the northern part of the country where the Alps meet the Po Valley.

A popular tourist destination known for its mild climate, Mediterranean vegetation, and picturesque towns along its shores: We spent a week at Lake Garda last summer.

The Italian name is Lago di Garda.
