Salò Holidays

Salò is a sought-after holiday resort on the south-west shores of Lake Garda, close to Gardone Riviera. It's home to the largest pedestrian promenade on the lake, which is edged with yachts and colourful boats and offers wonderful views of the water. It's the perfect place to stroll after dinner.

With a rich history dating back to the Roman times, Salò’s past is showcased through the town in its buildings, churches and squares. Pay a visit the Palazzo della Magnifica Patria, which dates back to 1524 and now houses the town’s Civic Archaeological Museum. The duomo is Salò’s most important monument. This Gothic-style cathedral has a stunning façade and an equally impressive interior.

Salò is a haven for watersports enthusiasts, with activities including fishing, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. There are also plenty of opportunities for hiking and biking in the surrounding area.

When to go

Lake Garda is traditionally a summer getaway, with hotels usually welcoming guests between April and October. Temperatures hover around 25°C in July and August – and this is when Lake Garda is at its liveliest. However, the climate in Lake Garda is very mild in spring and autumn, with temperatures rarely ducking beneath 20°C. Fancy avoiding the busiest months? Consider visiting in May, June or September – you’ll avoid the crowds and still be treated to warm weather.

Visa Information

At the current time, British citizens do not require a visa to visit Italy.

Tipping

Whilst tipping isn’t embedded into Italian culture it is always appreciated as an acknowledgement of good service. Nowadays people generally round up a bill in a bar or cafe and leave 5-10% extra on a restaurant bill. Taxi bills are usually also rounded up.

On guided tours/excursions, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide.

On small group escorted tours, it is customary to leave a token of appreciation for the driver and guide at the end of the tour.

Introduction to languages

The official language of Italy is Italian. English is widely spoken too, so getting by is easy.
