Celebrate New Year’s Eve on Lake Garda? Why not? Lake Garda offers a special atmosphere also during the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n
And temperatures are usually a few degrees above zero.<\/p>\n
A walk along a promenade protected from the wind, for example in Garda, Sal\u00f2, Riva, is also a beautiful experience in winter.
\nThe villages are festively decorated with the beginning of Advent.<\/p>\n
Christmas markets usually take place on the promenades along the water. Creating a cheerful atmosphere and offering good Italian Christmas delicacies.<\/p>\n
An evening stroll in Verona under Christmas lights is also recommended, where every year a huge bright Christmas comet from the famous “Arena” lands on the adjacent “Piazza Bra”.<\/p>\n
But also Trento with its famous handicraft Christmas market in the “Piazza del Duomo”, or Mantova with the traditional stands in the medieval “Piazza delle Erbe”.<\/p>\n
Or, here with us, the castle of Malcesine, with its funny “elf market” offers attractions for everyone during the holidays.<\/p>\n
And bathe in Lake Garda? Well, not recommended for New Year’s Eve, although a traditional New Year’s swim has been taking place for some years now, where some very “strong and crazy” men jump into the lake on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n
Surely the bathing in the thermal baths in Col\u00e0 di Lazise or Sirmione is better and more pleasant.<\/p>\n
New Year’s Eve at Lake Garda also means celebrating.
\nFor example, in the squares of larger towns such as Garda, Malcesine, Riva, Desenzano, Bardolino, directly under the traditional fireworks.<\/p>\n
Christmas markets can be found also in Garda, Desenzano, Riva, Arco and Verona every weekend and holiday from December.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
