To the west of the lake, is Milan Bergamo Airport, 50 minutes by car to the largest town on the lake, Desenzano and a huge Ryanair hub. Venice Marco Polo Airport is an hour and 25 minutes away and the perfect airport for International travellers from America and further afield. If that wasn't enough, there are also, 2 train stations that run into two key lake towns, Desenzano del Garda & Peschiera del Garda. No matter how you're arriving you and your guests, have plenty of choices available.
