SATURDAY BETWEEN SIRMIONE AND DESENZANO

In the morning: start your journey with a walk through the picturesque alleys of Sirmione, entering the historic center through the only access point: the Rocca Scaligera, a rare example of lake fortification. Destination that has always attracted tourists and artists, Sirmione was the home of the famous opera singer Maria Callas. The new Palazzo Callas Exhibitions, a prestigious venue for exhibitions, conferences and events, is dedicated to her. But also Catullo, the Roman poet who sang “Odi et amo”, always had a privileged relationship with the elegant town on the lake. The paternal villa rose on the extremity of the peninsula in a splendid position on the mirror of water. Today, what remains of that house, known as “Le Grotte di Catullo”, is one of the most visited sites in northern Italy. After having breathed the evocative atmosphere of the Roman era, you can take a break in one of the many restaurants on the shores of Lake Garda and order a local dish based on lake fish, such as tagliatelle with trout and asparagus or alborelle (small fish) grilled and seasoned strictly with Garda Dop extra virgin olive oil. The many DOC wines of the area, from Lugana to Valténesi up to Garda Classico, are excellent to combine with these dishes.

In the afternoon: spend a few hours of complete relaxation immersing yourself in one of the 36-degree natural pools of the Terme di Sirmione. A sanctuary of peace and well-being where you can also experience one of the famous “rémise en forme” treatments based on lemons and olive oil.

In the evening: give yourself to the social life starting with an aperitif and continuing with a dinner in Desenzano. The lively town on the Garda offers trendy bars and a picturesque setting. Do not miss the view from the walls of its famous castle.

The volumes of the speakers are raised, the lights are turned on, the music begins with amazing sounds and lights. All this is the great event offered by the Municipality of Desenzano and signed Radio studio + which for the occasion in Piazza Giacomo Matteotti will broadcast the long awaited live broadcast with its guest djs: revival, commercial, house, hip hop and all the hits from the years 90 to the present day to be able to dance and celebrate all night and give a very warm welcome to this new year.

The best choice to entertain the last year also for children is to take them to Gardaland and celebrate together in the magic of the most famous amusement park n. 1 in Italy.

For the last year, Gardaland keeps the doors of its Magic Winter open where adults and children can have fun all day on December 31st.

The water attractions will be closed, but there are many other attractions with pure adrenaline like Raptor, Space Vertigo, Mammoth, Blue Tornado, Magic Mountain and Oblivion.

New Year’s Eve with the cruise on Lake Garda on the Tonale motorboat.

Navigazione Laghi organizes for the night of the last year an exceptional cruise with dinner included to enjoy the New Year’s party directly from the lake.

Boarding is at the Port of Desenzano del Garda.

Spending a New Year’s Eve party on Lake Garda is an experience to try directly from the water.

You can decide to celebrate the last year by dining on the boat or simply uncorking the bottle at midnight from the middle of the lake to enjoy the fantastic spectacle of fireworks that light up the coast and Lake Garda.

Every year when the New Year is approaching it is inevitable to be asked “but you, what do you do at New Year?”

Not always has the answer because not all New Year’s parties are organized in advance. In fact, it may happen that you find yourself at the last moment and still don’t know what to do last year.

In addition, Lake Garda can be a great choice for spending a different New Year by choosing a location outside the city.

You can have a New Year’s Eve dinner perhaps choosing a romantic place for an intimate dinner for two by the lake, or have fun waiting for midnight dancing on a boat in the middle of the lake, or simply celebrate in the square with friends by opening a bottle of sparkling wine .

The essentials at the disco can find in the Lake Garda area many beautiful clubs that organize the New Year’s Eve party
