Peschiera del Garda Historic Center and Canals

To the east of the gentle, almost completely flat meadow landscape of the south bank is the bustling Peschiera del Garda. Its location on the Mincio - the only outflow of Lake Garda - gave the town of 9,000 inhabitants special strategic importance early on.Today it is particularly an important hub for train travelers, as it has a train station - like only Desenzano on the lake. This is just a stone's throw from the old town and, among other things, a stop for the express trains on the Milan-Venice route.Peschiera's old town, completely surrounded by canals, lies within a mighty, beautifully overgrown fortress. When strolling through the narrow streets - which are not dominated by tourism - you will find many nice shops and small bars.On the flat shore between Peschiera and Sirmione there are good swimming opportunities and numerous campsites with large meadow areas that extend to the lake. The popular Gardaland amusement park is just two kilometers from Peschiera and the hinterland with its moraine hills and the pretty Mincio river is also a wonderful destination.

Peschiera del Garda is a small and charming town on the northern shores of Lake Garda, where it rises in the river Mincio.
In 2017 it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The town winds between two islets connected by bridges and is full of fascinating views.

The city on the south bank was hotly contested in earlier times: it had an important strategic importance because the Mincio, which flows to the south, was once navigable and provided an important connection to the Adriatic. Since 2017, the impressive fortress with tree-covered bastions and walls that protected the city from enemies has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the title “Venetian Defense System of the 16th - 17th Century”. Today, visitors can walk along the wide city walls and enter the pretty old town through the Porta Verona or Porta Brescia city gates.
