Day Trips from Verona: Lake Garda, Mantua, Vicenza and Venice
Verona lies on the main railway across northern Italy, so several cities are within about an hour and the lake is a bus ride away. These four trips work in a day, and each one says how to get there.

about 1 hSirmione has no railway station, so the direct bus is the simple way. The alternative is a train to Peschiera del Garda, 13 min away, and the LN026 bus onward.
A narrow peninsula at the southern end of the lake, with the Scaliger harbour castle and the ruins of a large Roman villa. It is the easy lake day from Verona.
Tip: One traveller reported delays and long waits on the LN026, so keep a buffer for the return. A year-round ATV bus also runs through Lazise and Bardolino to Garda, a little over an hour away, and lake ferries leave from Peschiera, where a day ticket for the whole lake costs €39.50.
