The advantage of the lakes is that you can get around quickly! An efficient and picturesque ferry service that allows you to reach Monte Isola and all the towns on the lake. The cruise (about 2 hours) goes all around: departure from Iseo, Lovere, Sarnico, Sultano, Sale Maresino, Marone. There are also night cruises with fireworks on New Year's Eve and August 15. This is an opportunity to visit the lake in a different way and to have a different view of the villages. Take the opportunity to admire the few gardens that overlook the lake!

Tickets can be bought at tobacconists and newsstands. The Atv company provides connections between Verona and the towns on the eastern shore of Lake Garda (Peschiera, Lazise, Bardolino, Garda).
