Boat options across the lake
Navigazione Laghi operates the Desenzano–Peschiera–Riva ship line. Treat the line as a possible lake-transport option, not proof of a direct boat from Peschiera to Sirmione.
At major stops, buy tickets at the office near the dock; where there is no land ticket office, onboard purchase is available at no additional charge. Bad weather or strong wave motion can lead to suspended routes. Check the official site before you go: Navigazione Laghi publishes service information and timetables.
Driving and arrival considerations
If you drive, plan around Sirmione’s restricted-traffic zone in the historic centre. The Comune di Sirmione states that the zone’s automated system entered definitive operation on 17 February 2020.
Check access and parking arrangements before setting off rather than assuming you can drive into the centre.
Which route suits your day?
Choose based on the details you can confirm: the boat line is operated by Navigazione Laghi and departs from Peschiera, while bus schedules and a direct Sirmione boat connection are not verified in the information here. If driving, account for the historic-centre traffic restriction and check where you can leave the car.
For a boat-based plan, check the service timetable and allow time to reach the ticket office. A one-day Peschiera del Garda itinerary can help shape the time you spend in your starting town. For bus or car travel, confirm the connection or access arrangements before leaving Peschiera.
