Castello Scaligero di Sirmione

We visited the magnificent Scaligero Castle in Sirmione 🏰, a truly unforgettable experience! Walking along the walls and admiring Lake Garda 🏞️ was something unique. . The towers and ramparts offer breathtaking views, a real spectacle! I highly recommend a visit to this gem, a wonder not to be missed! The entrance ticket costs €8 / person #CastelloScaligero #Sirmione #LakeGarda #Italy 🇮🇹❤️💯👌 25.09.2025

Very beautiful castle, but I’m not sure if it’s worth going inside if you’re scared of heights. There is a relatively small area on the ground, but mostly you can walk along the top to take photos of the nice view. However, to get up there, you have to climb up many stairs with gaps, and it’s quite high, so not recommended if you have vertigo or mobility issues. We had to queue for quite a long time to get in

This is an amazing castle protecting a beautiful little town. The views from the top of the castle are outstanding and the history of the castle is fascinating. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Parking can be difficult as it’s a very busy area, we used Grif Parking which was only about 350m from the castle and reasonably priced.

The Scaligero Castle is magnificent! Walking over the drawbridge and exploring the grounds felt like stepping back in time. Highly recommend it for its history and beautiful photo opportunities.

This castle is unique because of the moat. You can take a boat tour around it too. View is beautiful and on weekends you can pay extra to go into the moat(dock) area, see photo for timings.

When we stood on top of the castle, we looked around in awe! What a perfect strategic location it was, together with the romantic scenery of the lake and mountains. Later, we found out online that it was built in the 13th century by the Scaligeri family of Verona. It was not only a fortress for defense but also served as a military harbor on Lake Garda. Walking inside, you can truly feel the power of its massive stone walls and sense the military strength of those who once ruled here. It is absolutely worth climbing up close to sunset.

It is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Italy and features a rare fortified harbor. Stunning views of Lake Garda, well-preserved towers and walls, and a unique glimpse into medieval military architecture in a truly scenic setting.

Feels like you are on an island. Also experience Venice in short. Enchanting sunset view! Very beautiful architecture. Gives a glimpse of how people lived inside fort surrounded by water - Safe yet vigilant!!
