Sirmione 4K Walking Tour — Lake Garda's Peninsula Town, Italy 🇮🇹

Join me for a 5.5-mile tour of every corner of Sirmione.

🏛️ ABOUT SIRMIONE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Sirmione has been settled since the Stone Age, its strategic peninsula making it prized by every power that passed through northern Italy. The Romans built grand holiday villas here — the most impressive of which, the Grotte di Catullo, still stands at the tip of the promontory and ranks as one of the largest Roman residential sites in all of northern Italy. In the 13th century, the Della Scala (Scaligeri) family of Verona built the Rocca Scaligera — a rare lake fortress with its own port — which still guards the only land entrance to the old town. The name Sirmione itself likely derives from the Latin "syrma," meaning a long trailing garment — a fitting description for this slender peninsula trailing into the lake.
