Peschiera del Garda is a popular tourist and commercial centre on the "Olive Riviera", located in the southernmost and flattest point of Lake Garda where the river Mincio begins its course.
This famous location on Lake Garda has the typical appearance of an ancient military stronghold, with the historic centre surrounded by imposing walls and ramparts completely surrounded by water.
The oasis of the Frassino lake with its sixteenth-century Sanctuary and the Mincio valley offer opportunities for pleasant walks or bicycle rides in contact with nature.
Long beaches characterize the lakeside: the stupendous pedestrian promenade runs along them among reeds, flowers, vegetation and trees which in summer offer natural shelter to holidaymakers.
Lake Garda is the area in Italy with the highest concentration of theme parks, many of which are located in the immediate vicinity of Peschiera.
Amusement parks, zoo parks, water parks for the delight of adults and children can be reached in a few minutes by car or bus.
Peschiera del Garda is easily accessible due to the multiplicity of its connections, such as the Venice-Milan railway line and the A4 motorway exit. Its port is the starting point for visiting the other towns on the lake by ferry. Verona with its international airport is about 20 kilometers away.
In Castelnuovo, where the climate is particularly mild even in winter, in summer it offers tourists and guests the best of itself. For water sports enthusiasts, the well-served and equipped beaches of Campanello, Gasparina and Ronchi have placed Castelnuovo among the best in the Veronese Garda area. The Ronchi lido hosts Gardaland, the largest theme park in Italy, and the Sea Life Aquarium. For more active guests there are multiple opportunities to practice sports such as cycling, marathons and SUP (paddle boarding).
Only a small part of the Municipality of Castelnuovo directly overlooks the water of Lake Garda, most of its territory is located on a hill immersed in the green countryside, the silver of the olive trees and the regular rows of vineyards famous for the excellent wine. And it is right on the side of the hill that numerous villas, with secular parks, are an attraction for pleasant walks.
During the summer season, concerts and shows take place in these villas, such as Villa Cossali Sella, Villa Rizzini Savelli, Villa Valcerea, Villa Arvedi D'Emilei and Villa Negri Mosconi.
Be inspired and discover all the activities.
