Lake Garda in Italy, the visual impact is here, Lake Garda in Italy, the beauty is bubbling like a dream, it feels like entering a fairyland. It is so beautiful that I dare not describe it easily. It’s just that my photography skills are limited. Friends who like it must go and see it in person if they have the opportunity

For a Saturday afternoon it wasnt too bad, waited about 20 minutes in line but it was worth it! Pay attention to the signs to see where's the entrance. The city is truly amazing, the captions of Shakespeare is a great touch as you pass through the house
