Traveller notes on Sirmione in September
Sirmione's forum calls September a sweet spot for weather — warm, swimmable and with clearer blue skies than the summer heat haze — but warns the town itself stays genuinely busy, with locals as well as tourists making a weekend trip to the lake if the forecast looks good. Regulars suggest avoiding Sirmione specifically on weekends, even late in the month, if a quieter visit matters more than the crowds.
