Italy
If the shape of Italy is a couture boot, think of the imprint of Lake
Garda as a design from the funky sister line—long and skinny at the
top, opening up toward the bottom.
Garda is the country's largest lake and one of the most popular vacation
spots among Italians. The southern shore is home to hot springs, resort
towns with pastel villas and
terra-cotta-roofed hotels, and most of Garda's 28 miles of serene,
pebbly beaches. To the north are the jagged peaks of the Dolomites, a
magnet for hikers and bicyclists who
want to test their endurance. In Malcesine, an adorable speck of a town
with cobblestoned streets and a medieval castle, you can board a cable
car up to Mount Baldo for one of
the best aerial views of the lake.
Nearby: Lake Garda is about halfway between Milan (89 miles away) and Venice (109 miles away), but to get the full, relaxing effect, stay in one of the south shore's many small towns.
