If you want your trip to start smoothly, booking a taxi or a transfer service is the best idea. Kiwitaxi makes it easy from the moment you step off the ship.

It’s a good option if you're saving money. Just be ready for a longer ride and fewer daily departures.

Traveling with Children

Traveling with kids after a cruise can be a real test. Waiting around for buses or dragging suitcases through train stations doesn't help.

With Kiwitaxi, you can book a car with a child seat. Everyone will ride safer and happier, and you'll skip all the extra waiting and stress.

Traveling with Pets

Bringing a pet makes every trip more special — and sometimes more complicated. Not all buses and trains are friendly to furry travelers.

With Kiwitaxi, you can book a pet-friendly car ahead of time. Your four-legged friend travels comfortably, and you don’t have to explain anything last minute.

What to See in Sirmione

Sirmione doesn’t rush you. It makes you want to slow down without even realizing it.

Wander through narrow streets where flowers spill from balconies. Sit by the lake with a coffee and watch the sunlight dance on the water. Stop by the old castle or just get lost in the soft buzz of local life. Here, even a simple walk feels like a small celebration of being exactly where you are.

In Sirmione, the best plan is no plan at all.
