Things to do
Before or after the wedding
Our wedding will take place on the south end of Lago di Garda – a beautiful area in northern Italy which is worth spending a few days at. Or the perfect starting point to your Italian vacation!
Soak up the relaxed atmosphere of Lake Garda — explore charming towns, enjoy local cuisine, and unwind by the water.
Lake Garda offers much more than breathtaking views: wander through picturesque towns like Limone, Sirmione or Malcesine, enjoy a glass of local wine by the water, or take a boat trip to discover the lake’s most beautiful spots. For the more active, there are hiking trails, cycling routes, and water sports. Those seeking relaxation will find peaceful beaches and cozy cafés perfect for slowing down and savoring la dolce vita.
We found this blog article with some helpful tips for planning a trip to Lake Garda!

Osteria Rivelin
Make sure to make a reservation and ask for a
table outside in their romantic little patio.
Trattoria Caprini
This place is a MUST. Adorable little traditional pasta

is breathtaking.
