Lake Garda offers various forms of entertainment and leisure activities all year round, unique experiences that cannot be found anywhere else.
Whether you prefer culture, traditions or nature, Lake Garda is always the right place to enjoy events in an impressive setting.
In February, people swarm the streets and piazzas to celebrate Carnival with colourful floats, masks and folklore. The most important event is the 'Gnocolar Friday' in Verona, where you can also treat your palate to various typical local Carnival delicacies, including the main dish of the event, namely gnocchi.
February is also the month of Valentine's Day and love, which can be celebrated with various events on romantic Lake Garda and in the city of Romeo and Juliet. As romantic as it gets!
If you are looking for a romantic short break to the eastern shore of Lake Garda for Valentine's Day, the Hotel Caesius Thermae & SPA Resort is the perfect destination, thanks to a Spa area of 3000 m². Check out the Valentine's Day special package!
