Gardasee Klassik

No hurry, no need to rush, but all the simplicity of slowing down while traveling through history.

And so, the same cars, remembered today as then for their elegance and ability to stand out, will return from Monday, September 15 to Thursday, September 18, 2025 in the 10th edition of Gardasee Klassik, the traditional gathering of vintage cars from Germany, conceived by the Nordrhein-Westfalen section of ADAC – the German Automobile Club, with the organizational support of Destination Verona Garda, in collaboration with Garda Unico, along with the Municipalities of Bardolino and Garda. The passion for vintage cars is also reflected in the numbers of ADAC members, boasting more than 22 million members, many of whom are owners of oldtimers.

The initiative embraces the concept of “motorized excursionism” coined in the 1930s to indicate the pleasure of travel, combining nature and progress. To date, although it was a way to celebrate technological advancement, it has become a means to be guided towards a slow rediscovery of the landscape.

Through 4 itineraries starting from Bardolino and the last from Garda, about 60 vintage cars will have the opportunity to stop at characteristic locations on the Veronese side and savor the taste of tradition at gardens, wineries, and typical restaurants.
