Great day trip, an interesting historical and cultural spot. It rained when we went and we still had a great time. The castle was very interesting and students were giving free tours at the time. Lots of good food spots nearby and some crafty shops worth a browse.

Worth a visit! There are a lot of panels around that explain the history and the architecture very well.

Georgious site with amazing views on the lake below. Absolute recommendation. Don't do like us, but buy the combi ticket with the castle. Small discount and both are must see in Sirmione.
