Sirmione Castle: Skip the Line Entry Ticket

Overview

The Scaligero Castle Sirmione Entry Ticket invites visitors to step back in time at this fairytale lakeside fortress. Approach the castle via its ancient drawbridge and explore the original defensive structures, including swallowtail merlons, which look like dove tails, and triangular ravelins.

What to Expect: Explore the historic fortified dock, the only surviving 14th-century medieval port on Lake Garda, built along the castle’s moat system. For panoramic views, climb the 37-meter keep. Ascend 146 stone steps to reach the tall central tower, also called the mastio, and walk the battlements for stunning views of the lake and town. Inside the castle portico, discover the lapidary museum and interpretive panels, which feature exhibits of Roman and medieval stone fragments paired with historical storytelling. Built in phases from the late 13th to 14th centuries, the castle’s rich history includes periods under Mastino I and Antonio della Scala, and later Venetian rule until the 16th century.

This flexible and independent experience is perfect for travelers who prefer exploring at their own pace, rather than joining group tours. What's included: Entry ticket to Castello Scaligero di Sirmione. What's excluded: live guide, food and drinks, and transportation.
