Bardolino is a picturesque town in the Province of Verona, Veneto. Located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda, Bardolino borders the following municipalities: Affi, Cavaion Veronese, Costermano, Garda, Lazise, Manerba del Garda, Moniga del Garda, Padenghe sul Garda, and Pastrengo. The economy is mostly based on tourism and production of wine (including the Bardolino DOC). The historic center is a beautiful blend of stone streets, pretty buildings and lakefront expanses. A marina brings in colorful boats, and there is golf and tennis available, along the lake's water sports. In the hills are plenty of activities too, such as hiking, horse riding and mountain biking. Main sights include the Church of San Zeno, one of the few Carolingian edifices in Italy, the Church of San Nicolò and San Severo and the Monastery of San Colombano.
