Things to Avoid

• Skip Crowded Season: From May to August, the tourist season is at its peak, so you will have difficulty exploring all the hidden gems of Lake Garda. If you want to make your experience unforgettable, try visiting Lake Garda outside the high season. You'll save a lot of money on accommodations and tours.
• Avoid Fancy Restaurants: Instead of going for pizza and fancy restaurants, we highly recommend eating out at the small local cafes for a more authentic experience. You can ask your hotel staff or our local guides for some recommendations. You'll be able to save some money and get a much better taste by eating at local cafes.
• Go North: If you want to avoid substantial beach crowds, go north for less crowded options. You'll find cheaper sun loungers and much fewer tourists so that you can enjoy the view.
