The Lake Garda transport problem
There is no direct public transport from Verona Airport to any Lake Garda town. The cheapest route involves Aerobus to Verona station (EUR 8) then a regional bus or train (EUR 5-10) to lakeside towns. Total journey time: 2-3 hours with connections.
A direct transfer to Sirmione at EUR 50-75 takes 35 minutes. For families with luggage, the time and hassle saved is worth the cost difference.
