Overview
- The municipality’s “Piano operativo 2026” begins on Saturday, April 4, with car-free hours in the old town from 14:00 to 19:00 over the Easter weekend.
- Across 31 peak-season days, the historic center will be pedestrian-only in the afternoons, with emergency access maintained.
- Visitor logistics tighten: the free Grifo shuttle runs until 21:00 on pedestrian days, hotels deploy electric golf carts for guests, and tour buses must reserve spaces at Monte Baldo; talks with Navigarda cover extra sailings.
- Safety staffing rises with two ambulances scheduled for 72 days, Street Tutors expanded to 105 days, and additional local police plus civil-protection oversight of the lakeshore.
- The plan leverages new visitor-flow data and launches the longer “Sirmione 2030” effort after 2025 surges of about 70,000 day-trippers on peak days that strained access and emergency routes.
