Quick visit to Saló

Mika Huhtamaki

Weather is always unpredictable and sudden rain gave us a great reason to have a break for a day. Break doesn't mean that we are just watching the roof from the bed, no it is a great opportunity to see new places around the lake. And during the day we also found something surprising from the country of good food and gelato.

In our case rainy day is just a perfect weather to go out sightseeing with our two french bulldogs Topi and Helmi. This is actually already third time for them at the Lago di Garda but the very first time when I'm writing something about these small but energetic dogs (thou the title image shows what they do after the energetic activities).

We chose to head our small sightseeing to the city of Saló. Saló in located at the neighbouring region Lombardy from Trentino-Alto Adige.The road to Saló goes nicely nearby the lake level via tunnels and towns, every one of them being a great place to spend good time. One of the towns to recommended among Saló is definitely Limone that is famous for its lemon trees.
Artigiani del Gusto, Via IV Novembre, 10.

But back to Saló. It was founded already by the ancient Roman when it was known by name Pagus Salodium. City has a long history and  during the World War II it was also the capital city of the puppet Italy ruled by Benito Mussolini. Nowadays Saló is a beautiful harbor city with the nice promenades, boats and restaurants covering the coastline.

One thing that we love in Italy is the great ice-cream, gelato. And of course in our trip to Saló we wanted to taste some. To get the best gelato you have to find a real gelateria that makes their own gelato. We found a great place that has also something extraordinary. Yes, Saló has a great gelato to offer, but they have it also for the dogs! That is so funny idea that we had to test it. And guess what, it seems that dogs love it. So from now on your best friend can also enjoy the famous Italian gelato, just head to Saló to let your buddy taste some.


Helmi wonders what would be the right taste for the day.

Topi enjoys!











I got it!
