Lake Garda, Veneto 213 ft
Historic resort that is an ideal base for exploring
Peschiera is situated where Lake Garda’s
waters flow southwards to form the
River Mincio. Striking medieval walls
fortify the river borders of the
Old Town. Peschiera’s focal point
is the delightful pedestrianised centre
with bustling streets full of all kinds
of shops, churches and riverside cafés.
Locals and tourists relax here in the
evening as colourful lights reflect
in the waters of the Mincio. The resort
has two beach areas, both a 10 minute
walk from the centre, a small harbour
and pathways that lead along the old
walls. It has a train station directly on the main Milan-Venice line and a regular ferry service connects it to other lakeside villages. For families, both the Gardaland and Caneva theme parks are a short bus ride away.
