For one day we leave the car and we reach Sirmione with the rapid service of the Hydroplanes. Route-time from Limone: about 3 hours
Wonderful city which has devoted to tourism and thermal baths. Sirmione lies on the extremity of a thin peninsula which penetrates in the lake for 3 kms. Beautiful the Scaligero Castle of year 1250 with the museum, which is open from 09.00 until 13.00 o’clock, Mondays excluded. The historical center shows off the best boutiques, shops, pizzerie, gelaterie and restaurants. We can walk throught the lanes of the historical center and the squares which open suddenly and reach the Grotte di Catullo. The Grotte di Catullo are on the cape of the peninsula of Sirmione. They constitute the ruins of a Roman villa which the tradition wants to have been the abode of the Latin poet Catullo. In the near museum can be admired objects, which have been found during the excavations.
Opening: from 09.00 until 16.00 o'Clock, in summer until 18.00 o'clock, Mondays excluded..
Back with the Hydroplane.
