The story behind the image
On good days, Lake Garda in Italy is ‘just’ a four-hour drive from our home in Munich, Germany, but thanks to its true Italian flair it makes a genuine difference compared to daily life in Germany. This is not just true for the weather (which is usually warmer than in Germany) but also for the mood and culture.
This is the waterfront of the village Limone sul Garda that is best known for its growth of lemons. This may sound unbelievable, but it’s true. You will find small fields of lemon trees scattered around the village. Of course, this is (by far) not enough to earn a decent living for all people living in Limone, but it is so cool that it has become a tourist magnet.
The ships connect to Malcesine, Torbole and Riva del Garda, and it certainly is a good destination for a short detour. Driving aorund the lake may sound like an exciting idea – and we did this once! – but it becomes a real effort after a while, especially for the section between Riva del Garda and Limone where the road is narrow and curvy. Oh, and did you know that the car chase scene in Casino Royale (2006) has been filmed exactly on this section? (Even better: Bond is being chased by folks in an Alfa Romeo 159. Wow.)
Don’t let this happen to you – and come by ship! This is certainly a much better choice.
