Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No railway on the west shore. Arrive by ferry (the nicest way), or by bus along the Gardesana Occidentale from Desenzano's rail line via Salo.
Tickets · Navigazione Lago di Garda + Arriva
Limone is a stack of lemon terrace lanes above a small harbour; boats are the practical transit
Ferry tickets at the pier; bus tickets via the Arriva app.
Validate when boarding.
On foot
- ·The cliffside cycle and walking path cantilevered over the lake toward the Trentino border is the west shore's showpiece
- ·The old lemon houses (limonaie) above the village explain the name and the terraces
Taxis and driving
- ·The Gardesana's tunnels and summer queues make the ferry the better arrival; parking is tight
Official sites: Lake Garda ferries (Navigazione Laghi) · Lake Garda buses (Arriva)
