Photos of Lake Garda

What about some photos of Lake Garda? The beauty of this lake is unbelievable and no photo is ever as good as the real thing. Still I've tried to capture a little of the magic!

Mine are not as good as some of the others who have shared their photos too but I think the lovely subjects and the passion I have for Italy go a long way in masking my lack of skill. And I am getting better so keep following me and who knows what wonderful photos you might see soon - maybe something like the gorgeous photos on my Facebook page!

If you would like photos of Venice Italy, Verona or other areas of the Veneto please click here.

I hope you enjoy the photos and if you have any photos, stories or comments to add please do so at the bottom of this page. I would love to hear from you...

Sirmione

Sirmione

My son looks up in amazement at this incredible old shop covered with bougainvillea. Sirmione (click for my guide) may be a tiny little town but it is full of gorgeous shops and cottages and that's not all...there's even a castle and a Roman villa!

Suntanning on the Shores of Lake Garda

Suntanning on the shores of Lake Garda. You'd be amazed at some of the lovely beaches that are to be found around the lake - these are my favorites.

After Church in the Town of Lazise

Photo taken by me in Lazise on the shores of Lake Garda. Lazise is one of Lake Garda's loveliest towns and is one of the best towns in which to base yourself as it really is near everything.

Lake Garda  taken from Monte Baldo

Photo of Garda from Monte Baldo taken by Anja Harreman Hokke. The view from the summit of Monte Baldo is breathtaking and the trip up in the cable car is something that everyone who visits Lake Garda should do.

Peschiera on Lake Garda

Peschiera (click for more) is another town that I love. This photo was taken last summer on the bridge that leads into town.

Another one of Peschiera - along the waterfront of the old town you'll find lots of restaurants. It's a great place for lunch...and to people watch.

Gardaland

Photo taken by me in Gardaland - my tip, when visiting Gardaland is to not go on the Blue Tornado roller coaster unless you are a lot braver than me! It took me a week to recover. See our Gardaland guide for more.

Lazise on a Rainy Day

This photo of Lazise was taken by Eveline Wijnholds on a really miserable day in June. Normally the weather in June is superb but this last summer was really a disappointment.
