Sirmione Boat Tour Around the Peninsula, 25 Minutes

A Sirmione boat tour is the relaxed way to see the peninsula: from the water, at a leisurely pace, with the old town's profile slowly changing as the boat goes round. The trip lasts about 25 minutes.

You board with other passengers, which suits solo travellers too, and an experienced captain tells you the story behind each landmark that passes by along the perimeter. Fuel is included.

The sights on the way are a mix of history, wellness and archaeology:

• the Scaligero Castle and the medieval harbour
• the Grotte di Catullo
• the Aquaria spa and the Boiola thermal spring
• the former villa of Maria Callas

It is short but complete, a full picture of the peninsula in under half an hour. Take it as your first look at Sirmione before you walk the streets, or as a scenic break between visits. Families and friends can share it, and it is also a chance to meet other travellers on board.
