Sirmione heeft geen eigen station, dus de meeste bezoekers reizen met de trein naar Desenzano del Garda en leggen het laatste stuk af met bus of taxi. De historische oude stad op het schiereiland is een hele dag een zone met beperkt verkeer (ZTL), en in de zomer van 2026 geldt van eind maart tot half oktober een strengere ZTL met een voetgangerszone in de namiddag. Plan daarom om buiten te parkeren en te voet of per shuttle naar binnen te gaan. De mooiste manier om aan te komen is de veerboot over het meer, en honden zijn aan boord welkom, met eenvoudige regels op basis van grootte.

| Vervoermiddel | Beleid | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Lake Ferry (Navigazione Laghi) | Dogs are allowed on board under the owner's responsibility. Small dogs (under 50 cm at the withers) travel free; medium and large dogs (over 50 cm) pay a fare bought at the ticket office or on board. Dogs must be leashed (fixed lead, max 1.5 m) and a muzzle carried. On hydrofoils, only mini-dogs and cats in a bag held on the lap are allowed. | 💡 Take a ferry or catamaran rather than a hydrofoil if you have a medium or large dog. Guide and rescue dogs travel free. |
| Train + Bus (to Desenzano) | Sirmione has no station; arrive at Desenzano del Garda by Trenord/Trenitalia, then take the Arriva bus or a taxi to Sirmione. On Italian trains small dogs in a carrier travel free; larger dogs need a reduced-price ticket, must be leashed and muzzled, and are not allowed on seats. On regional buses dogs must be leashed and muzzled. | 💡 Desenzano to Sirmione is about 8 km. With a large dog, a taxi is easier than the often-crowded summer bus. |
| Car, ZTL & Electric Shuttle | The peninsula old town is a 24-hour ZTL closed to general traffic. In 2026 a stricter summer ZTL (late March to mid-October) adds afternoon pedestrianisation. Park at Colombare or Grifo Parking outside the centre and walk in. A €1 shuttle bus (€1.50 onboard) links the car parks to the centre, and a free evening electric shuttle (roughly 19:00–21:00) runs from old-town hotels to Grifo Parking. Leashed dogs may ride the shuttles. | 💡 If your hotel is inside the ZTL, ask for the access pass when booking. Guests can usually drive in to drop luggage. |
