Lake Garda is Italy’s biggest lake, known for its stunning scenery, historical landmarks, and lively towns. Nestled in northern Italy, it stretches across Verona, Brescia, and Trentino. The lake, shaped by glaciers during the Quaternary Ice Age, is bordered by mountains to the north and flatter areas to the south.
