The travel time and method to reach Lake Garda depend significantly on your destination, as the lake spans multiple towns. Each area may require a slightly different route or transportation option.

To get from Verona Airport (VRN), the closest airport to Lake Garda-Torbole, here are your main travel options:

  • Taxi or Private Transfer (~1 hour 10 minutes)
    The fastest and most direct option to get from Verona Airport to Torbole. A private transfer or taxi ride costs around €120-€160, depending on traffic and time of day.
  • Bus (~2 to 2.5 hours)
    Take the Airlink 199 bus from Verona Airport to Verona Porta Nuova train station. From there, take a bus towards Riva del Garda, stopping at Torbole. A budget-friendly option costing around €10-€15 per person.
