Via Cavour 1 - 37067 Valeggio sul Mincio
Parco Giardino Sigurtà, located in Valeggio sul Mincio, near Lake Garda and Verona, is one of Italy’s most important natural attractions, already internationally awarded for its beauty and innovation.
With an area of 600,000 square metres, spread across two hills bordering the Mincio River, it represents an extraordinary green oasis where nature offers ever-changing spectacles thanks to the numerous blooms that follow one another throughout the year.
Walking among flowering gardens, centuries-old trees, ornamental ponds, vast lawns and botanical collections means immersing yourself in a unique environment, ideal for those wishing to spend a day outdoors enjoying relaxation, nature and scenic beauty. The Park can be visited on foot, by bicycle, aboard the panoramic train or through dedicated guided tours.
The Attractions of Parco Giardino Sigurtà
Among the most iconic places is the famous Avenue of Roses, symbol of the Park, which in spring transforms into a spectacular floral gallery. In the background stands the charming Scaliger Castle of Valeggio sul Mincio, creating one of the most photographed and recognisable views of the garden.
The visitor route also leads to the Medicinal Plants Garden, where numerous aromatic and medicinal species can be discovered, and to the enchanting Water Gardens, characterised by colours, reflections and atmospheres reminiscent of landscapes immortalised by the great Impressionist painters.
Among the attractions most loved by visitors is the Labyrinth, a fascinating route through the green walls of yew hedges covering an area of approximately 2,500 square metres.
The Park also preserves places rich in charm and history (over 4 centuries), such as the Hermitage, the Little Castle and the majestic Great Oak. Children can get to know the farm animals living in the Park (donkeys, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys and ducks), while adults can enjoy a day immersed in nature among panoramic views, blooms and relaxing paths.
