VERONA (VRN) – BEST & CLOSEST OPTION

APPROX. 20–40 MINUTES TO MOST LAKE GARDA TOWNS.

SMALL, EASY AIRPORT, VERY CONVENIENT AND IDEAL

IF AVAILABLE FROM YOUR DEPARTURE CITY.

MILAN (LIN / MXP)

APPROX. 1.5–2.5 HOURS BY CAR

BEST CHOICE FOR LONG-HAUL INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS.

COMBINE LAKE GARDA WITH MILAN IF

YOU HAVE EXTRA TIME.

VENICE (VCE)

APPROX. 1.5–2 HOURS BY CAR

GREAT IF YOU WANT TO START OR END YOUR

TRIP IN VENICE.

RENTING A CAR IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! LAKE GARDA VILLAGES ARE SPREAD OUT, AND A CAR GIVES YOU FULL FREEDOM.

MANUAL (STICK SHIFT) CARS ARE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE!

AUTOMATIC CARS ARE AVAILABLE, BUT:

LIMITED SUPPLY AND OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE

NEED TO BE BOOKED WELL IN ADVANCE.

INTERNATIONAL DRIVER'S PERMIT IS NEEDED FOR US CITIZENS RENTING A CAR IN ITALY.

ONE CAN BE OBTAINED VIA YOUR LOCAL AAA FOR A SMALL FEE.

IF YOU CAN DRIVE STICK, CHOOSE MANUAL — IT’S THE "NORM" IN ITALY. 🙂

ROADS ARE GENERALLY GOOD, BUT:

NARROW VILLAGE STREETS,

STEEP HILLS IN SOME AREAS.

TAKE IT SLOW AND ENJOY THE VIEWS.
