Stresa to Sirmione

I will be traveling from Stresa to Sirmione on Sunday July 14th. Any suggestions on best way to get there? And should I book in advance?

Welcome to the forum!

Train

Station names:
Stresa
Desenzano del Garda-Sirmione

I believe part of that journey is under construction right now so you will be rerouted by bus (Stresa to Arona?)

2 or 3 changes- one at Milano Centrale

You can book in advance if you like.
Part of the journey is regional train that can't sell out and price never changes. No reserved seats.
Then you can choose between a fast train from Milan or a regional.
Not much difference in travel time.

Thanks Christine. Is it easy to travel via bus with luggage? Will have a roller bag.

Your luggage usually goes underneath the bus- so yes- can actually be easier than train.

There is a train line from Stresa to Milan Centrale about 40 minutes. From there you can take the frequent line to Desenzano. From there you can take a bus or ferry. We took the ferry. There is also a train from Desenzano to Verona, and I believe it passes through Sirminone.
