Practical information and tips for your visit to Limone sul Garda

Are you planning your next getaway to Lake Garda? To help you organize a perfect trip, we have gathered answers to the most frequently asked questions from travelers choosing Limone sul Garda. From logistical information about parking to tips on how to best experience main attractions like the Cycle Path or the Limonaia del Castèl, you will find everything you need for a worry-free visit here.

Where to park to visit the center of Limone?

To easily access the historic center (ZTL), there are three strategic options:

  • Lungolago Guglielmo Marconi Parking: The closest to the port and the center, ideal for those with limited time.

  • Via Caldogno Multi-storey Parking: Located at the entrance of the village, it is the best choice for safety and proximity to the Limonaia del Castèl.

  • Nannini Parking: Excellent for those arriving from the north.

Pro Tip: In high season, central parking lots fill up by 10:00 AM. If they are full, the San Giovanni Parking offers more spaces but requires a short, scenic walk.

Where do the ferries depart from and what are the main destinations?

The main reference point is the Limone sul Garda Ferry Terminal (Imbarcadero), located in Piazza Garibaldi at the heart of the lakefront. The most frequent routes connect Limone with Malcesine (on the Veronese shore, ideal for those wishing to take the Monte Baldo Cableway) and Riva del Garda.

  • Navigazione Laghi: There are also fast ferries (hydrofoils) connecting Limone to Torri del Benaco, Maderno, and Desenzano.

  • Tip: The Limone-Malcesine ferry is the most scenic and fastest way to cross the lake, avoiding the traffic on the Gardesana road.

  • The route: It starts from the center of the village and juts out over the lake until it reaches the border with the province of Trento (Riva del Garda).
