Travel to Sirmione, (province of Brescia), Italy
Life in Sirmione:
Sirmione is a beautiful small and touristic city. We spent there a few hours during our travel form Milano to Verona. I think that to visit this city, one day is enough.
Transport there is really bad. Because from the bus station to the main part of the city we went by walking. This place is visited especially by reaching people, where they enjoy staying in some hotels and houses which look very luxurious. But they are some normal hotel and hotels for students like us. The weather was perfect during our visit.
Foods and drinks:
During our walk, we saw a lot of restaurants and bars in Sirmione streets. Usually during dinner time those restaurants become full. In Sirmione are a lot of places where we can drink coffee or eat something sweet. During their visit tourists have the opportunity to try many kinds of pizza as (focaccia and gelato) and also we can try traditional spritz. And they give you olives and small snacks for free when you order a meal, which you can eat before the main dish. But prices are usually high.
Interesting places:
The most important building in Sirmione is its castle (Scalegerach castle), it’s one of the most important landmarks. This castle is in the old part of the city. If you want to enter there, you need to cross a small bridge and the huge gate. Then you can enjoy the beauty of typical Italian history, narrow streets and old buildings. There were a lot of tourists and shops of souvenirs. For sure it is worth to walk over these amazing streets.

During our trip to Sirmione, we also spent some time on a really nice beach. The view from this place was amazing. Summary, Sirmione is a good city if you have a lot of money, but if travelling between Milano and Verona, you should visit this small city. Even that there is not too much interesting places, but believe me; for sure you will feel the traditional Italian atmosphere.
