In recent days, Bardolino has seen a significant increase in German tourist arrivals, reaffirming its appeal in the landscape of Lake Garda tourism. According to data from the Verona Garda Tourist Observatory, occupancy rates at campsites along the Veronese shore have reached 85%, while hotels have reported an average occupancy exceeding 80%. This positive trend is attributed to the Ascension, Pentecost, and Corpus Christi holidays, with over 7 million German visitors expected in 2024. Reservations at both hotel and non-hotel accommodations indicate stability compared to the previous year, suggesting that Bardolino remains a sought-after destination for tourists from Germany.
Specifically, during the German holiday period from May 29 to June 21, 2025, accommodation facilities around the lake recorded an average occupancy rate of 81.8%, marking a notable increase compared to 2024. The growing interest in outdoor tourism has led to a record occupancy in the camping sector, which has seen an 85.7% rise compared to last year. Reviews on short-term rental platforms reveal that most visitors come from Germany, followed by the United States and the United Kingdom. These figures highlight how Bardolino and Lake Garda continue to be a preferred choice for German tourists seeking experiences rooted in nature and culture.
