Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of BS
To book a taxi in Sirmione, call the radio taxi at 030 916082. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Sirmione, the famous tourist destination on Lago di Garda known for Rocca Scaligera, the Grotte di Catullo and the Terme, has a taxi service whose dispatch line answers at 030 916082, active for bookings and direct calls. The taxi rank is located on viale Marconi, near the InfoPoint, just before the entrance to the pedestrian historic center. Being among the few categories authorized to travel within the town's ZTL (Limited Traffic Zone), taxis can take visitors right to their hotel even in the heart of the peninsula, something not allowed for private cars without a permit. During the high season months, when the influx of tourists toward the castle, the Roman ruins and the thermal baths is at its peak, it's advisable to book in advance or go directly to the taxi rank, since ride-hailing apps do not yet fully cover the municipal area.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Verona-Villafranca "Valerio Catullo" (VRN) · ~35 km from the center
There is no fixed, agreed taxi fare for the trip from Verona airport: it's about 35 km and 35-45 minutes of travel under normal traffic conditions, so it's always advisable to ask for a quote at the time of booking. The Municipality of Sirmione also lists Bergamo Orio al Serio as a reference airport, along with Milano Malpensa, Milano Linate and Venezia Marco Polo airports for longer stays.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center of Sirmione, at the tip of the peninsula, is a Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL): access for private vehicles is prohibited unless authorized, while taxis are among the categories permitted to transit in order to take clients to their accommodation. There is a single electronic gate (designated K53700/SA), and violations are fined from 83 to 333 euros. Info: Municipal Traffic Office, tel. 030 9909190, email ztl@sirmionebs.it.
Practical tips
- The historic center of Sirmione is almost entirely pedestrian and within the ZTL: taxis are among the categories authorized to enter in order to reach hotels and accommodations, unlike private cars, which require a specific permit issued by the local police.
- In high season (from Easter through September) demand for taxis is very high due to the tourist influx toward Rocca Scaligera, Grotte di Catullo and Terme di Sirmione: it's advisable to book in advance, especially on weekends.
- To reach the tip of the peninsula, where the Grotte di Catullo are located, the taxi can only drop off passengers within the limits allowed by the pedestrian ZTL of the historic center.
- The Terme di Sirmione (the Catullo and Virgilio thermal facilities) are frequent destinations for taxi transfers to and from the airport or from the Desenzano del Garda and Peschiera del Garda train stations.
- Since the main ride-hailing apps do not yet cover Sirmione, it's advisable to save the local taxi number or go directly to the taxi rank on viale Marconi, near the InfoPoint.
