Choose your experience
Castle as the main visit
Use the curated two hours as a starting allowance for the castle and immediate setting, then add travel and access time.
Sirmione without a full castle visit
A Sirmione town walk and exterior castle views are an alternative when entry does not fit your schedule. They do not include the museum visit.
