Near Gardaland
Grottoes of Catullus 9.5 km
The ruins of a large Roman villa at the very tip of the Sirmione peninsula on Lake Garda, built around the turn of the 1st century BC and AD. The name ties it to the poet Catullus, who wrote of Sirmione, though the villa was never shown to be his.
Lake Garda 20 km
The largest lake in Italy, cutting into the edge of the Alps between Brescia and Verona. Glaciers shaped it at the end of the last ice age, and its shores, shared by Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino, are lined with olive groves, old harbours and lemon houses.
Verona Arena 22 km
A Roman amphitheatre in the centre of Verona and one of the best preserved anywhere, thanks to restoration that began in the 16th century. It is still in use, and each summer its stone tiers fill for a season of open-air opera.
Piazza delle Erbe 22 km
A long square in the heart of Verona that was once the town's Roman forum. Market stalls under white umbrellas still fill its centre, surrounded by frescoed houses, a marble fountain and the Lamberti tower.
Scrovegni Chapel 91 km
A small chapel in Padua whose walls are covered from floor to vaulted blue ceiling in frescoes by Giotto, painted in the early 14th century. Visitors go in small groups through a climate-controlled room, and the cycle is counted among the founding works of Western painting.
Basilica of Saint Anthony 91 km
The great pilgrimage church of Padua, built over the tomb of Saint Anthony and known locally simply as Il Santo. Its domes and minaret-like towers mix Byzantine and Gothic styles, and the high altar holds bronzes by Donatello.
Ferrari Museum 104 km
The company museum of Ferrari, in the town where its factory stands. Alongside road and racing cars it shows trophies, photographs and the technical ideas that made the jump from the racetrack to the road.
Piazza Maggiore 118 km
Bologna's main square and the heart of the city since medieval times. One corner opens into Piazza del Nettuno and its Neptune Fountain, and the square is framed by the Basilica of San Petronio and the old palaces of the city's government.
