Peschiera del Garda, Italy skyline: the 17 most iconic buildings and best views in Peschiera del Garda

We had an absolutely fabulous day at the Gardaland! You feel like in a fairytale, and all the roller coasters are very exciting! 😍 I recommend going on a (rainy) weekday, so the queues are shorter and you manage to see everything. Feel free to skip the Jumanji Adventure ride though, it’s not quite worth a 40+ minute wait.

Another amazing amusememt park for kids and older as well. Rides get pretty busy with the nice weather, like in every resort. I wish there was a better overview what each ride offers - we waited 90 minutes for Jumanji adventure, which was absolutely no advanture plus it was all in Italian. Other than that, only 4 rides required height over 140, few over 130. Make sure to check these requirements before going. Also, buying tickets outside od the official venue office is cheaper so look for those selling points in the city.

We visited Gardaland on a Wednesday and had an amazing time! 🎢 The waiting time for each ride was less than 15 minutes, which made the whole experience super smooth. The official app showing live queue times was very helpful — it helped us plan our route efficiently and enjoy more rides. The park is clean, beautifully themed, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and organized, and there were plenty of food options and rest areas. Both the kids and adults had a blast — from the thrilling roller coasters to the fun family attractions. Highly recommend visiting on a weekday if possible — short queues, great atmosphere, and so much fun! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am sure that a family would love this place...my wife and stayed at the Gardaland hotel, and rode the bus to the park in the morning (bus runs every 16 minutes) We love roller coasters and these did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very family friendly and the park is very well cared for (it's clean!) over all a great experience.

Fantastic for kiddies as there is a great balance of calmer rides with ease of motion while still holding very good production value. The adult rides too are equally fantastic. I hold the overall experience below Europa park however and wouldn't go too far out of my way to visit it.

So much fun, there's something for everyone. We also went during weekday in October, there was minimal queue and wait time even on popular rides. Absolutely recommended visiting if you have kids and are in the area.

The park is beautiful, maintenance is superb, all clean, well taken care of. Halloween decoration was super nice! Prices are very high as usual in amusement parks. Rides are really exiting with many options.

Porta Brescia (1551–1558) is one of the main entrances to the fortress, steeped in history and surrounded by a moat of shimmering water. Lined with vibrant flowers year-round, the approach is as charming as it is imposing. It’s awe-inspiring to stand before it and imagine the sheer thickness and strength of the fortress walls, built to withstand centuries of conflict and time.

Very nice village with small city centre, with great view of the lake and option to rent boats or go for a waterfront walk. Lots of nice restaurants.

A great place to walk along the water's edge in the shade and so much colours

Gorgeous, quaint and just lovely. There’s a fantastic kids playground atop the battlement, with a great little coffee shop and shaded playground - bit of a hidden gem.

Great little Cafe at the Port of Peschiera. Grabbed a must needed Aperol and Hugo Spritz. There was no table service, but that wasn't a problem.

This review is from 3 years ago at the time I wrote this (reason -made a new google review focused account): Very beautiful place. However a common issue was the honesty and people: -all the stores sold the same clothes with different pricing -at the parking there was a guy ''acting like he worked there'' and wanted money from you for showing you a parking spot. Nice spot, not so nice people.

Really pretty area, lots to see and Monday’s they have a huge market here!

One of my favourite place to visit. Stunning views and lovely people. It’s just a small town. Everyone is laid back. Will definitely be back again.

Gourgous old area of town, lovely walks and atmosphere. Great history to be discovered also. The walk along the canal part is lovely, and there’s a great places to eat and shop in the built up part. Thumbs up.

Visited Porta Verona recently and despite the crowd, its beauty truly stood out. The impressive stone archway, steeped in history, offers a grand entrance into the heart of the city. Even with the busy atmosphere, the architectural elegance and timeless character of the gate made it worth the visit. It’s a great spot for photos and a perfect starting point for exploring the surrounding streets. A must-see for history lovers and anyone who appreciates classic Italian design.

Ports Verona at Lake Garda is a charming haven where the serene beauty of the lake meets the elegance of Italian architecture. Picture cobblestone streets lined with quaint shops and vibrant cafes, where every corner invites you to pause and savor the moment. The harbor, a mosaic of boats bobbing gently in the water, frames a backdrop of rolling hills and lush landscapes. As the sun sets, casting a golden glow over the lake, the area transforms into a picturesque canvas of reflection and tranquility. Here, the gentle lapping of waves and the soft murmur of conversation blend seamlessly, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and intimate.

Beautifull small city, very lovely, romantic and relaxing to walk, enjoy and feel good.

Very crowded area. Bikes, cars, pedestrians all in one place. Wish we had this very schedule. We missed all the tours.

A very pleasant place for morning coffee and cake.

Ok

One beautiful place of silence and peace for souls! I love it

Ok

Beautiful sanctuary, very beautiful

Nice location

wonderfull place

(Translated by Google) We stopped for lunch on our way to Trento. We had a great time. The very kind staff let us sit inside even though we had our little dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). A wide selection of traditional and non-traditional dishes, and many desserts. A very quiet place near the sanctuary. Ample parking. (Original) Ci siamo fermati per pranzo lungo il nostro tragitto verso Trento. Ci siamo trovati molto bene. Il personale gentilissimo ci ha fatto accomodare all’interno anche se avevamo il nostro cagnolino (cavalier King). Vasta scelta di piatti tipici e non, tanti dolci. Un luogo molto tranquillo vicino al santuario. Ampio parcheggio.

delicious food, good drinks and great service. I recommend

Very friendly and nice Service (Valentina!). Portions look at first glance small but are more than okay - at the end you would anyhow miss the delicious dessert if you are too full from the main course. Overall great place. Nice food - good atmosphere and all kind of tasty drinks.

Tranquil setting, best enjoyed at night. Relaxing and very close to water fountain. Not the cheapest for wine, but enjoyed nevertheless. They also do cocktails. Waitress was friendly enough.

Just the best Super Toast ever 🥪! Delicious! Great coffee! Location is great too ! And so the girls ! Thank you 🙏! A presto!

This place is amazing . The beautiful waitress , blonde, tattoos was amazing and the cashier Burnette also with everyone was just wonderful! Definitely coming back here !!

Very large Aperol Spritz portions. Friendly staff and quick service. There was also a small snack for free. Gladly again!

We stayed in Peschiera del Garda for a week half board at a nearby hotel. Visited here on our first night for drinks and loved the atmosphere and the service. We came back on Tuesday evening for drinks and then on Thursday for food. My husband had the Ravioli and I had the Caesar Salad and it was amazing. My husband said it was the best Ravioli he has ever eaten including in Rome and Sorrento. We enjoyed it that much we came back on our last night for more Ravioli and I had the Chicken Burger. Food again was amazing 😍 Cocktails are fantastic and the staff clearly love working here. The owner Valentina told us the chef makes small batches of fresh pasta throughout the day so it’s always fresh for the customers and you can tell. If we come back to Peschiera del Garda this will be the first place we visit 😍

Nice place to check if you’re in town! Beautiful both in the morning and evening, but if you come in the evening - be ready to experience multiple annoying flies…

(Translated by Google) Very nice view of the Mincio and towards the lake and city. You should definitely visit. Not suitable for wheelchair users. (April 2025) (Original) Sehr schöner Blick auf den Mincio und Richtung See und Stadt. Sollte man auf alle Fälle besuchen. Für Rollstuhlfahrer nicht geeignet. ( April 2025 )

(Translated by Google) Very nice to look at (Original) Sehr nett anzuschauen

(Translated by Google) Not a very large square in front of the Town Hall, often home to markets and events. Nearby there are shops, bars and restaurants.

Piazza Betteloni

(Translated by Google) It was the first bastion built in the 16th century by the Venetians, to strengthen the fortifications of Peschiera against cannon attacks. Unfortunately, a part collapsed in 1930, during the restoration work on the moat that surrounds it. (Original) È stato il primo bastione costruito nel XVI secolo dai veneziani, per potenziate le fortificazioni di Peschiera contro gli assalti con i cannoni. Purtroppo, una parte è crollata nel 1930, durante i lavori di ripristino del fossato che lo circonda.

(Translated by Google) Another characteristic site in this unique and special little Venetian village, the fortress perfectly evokes the military defenses of times past, surrounded by the lake. Best visited alone or as a couple. It's worth it. (Original) Un altro luogo caratteristico in questo piccolo borgo Veneto unico e particolare, la fortezza ricorda perfettamente la difesa militare del tempo passato, circondata dal lago. Da visitare preferibilmente soli o in coppia. Merita.

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) I had the opportunity to attend Athos Faccincani's personal exhibition in this beautiful historic building in Peschiera. The exhibition is free to enter and can be seen until December 31st. This exhibition was an opportunity for me to spend an afternoon learning about the art of today. The landscapes painted by the artist are indeed existing places but they bring with them the magic of a clear gaze full of wonder towards the world. The bright colors of the canvases give the perception that the world is eternally new to our eyes. The paintings communicate harmony between man and passage and, to be more precise, it is the landscape that brings comfort to man as in the painting "sailing towards dawn": where the sea seems to symbolize the adversities of daily life (legacy of early Christian art) with its blue-purple colors and, instead, the sun, towards which the boat spontaneously heads, is a symbol of salvation and joy. The use of colors struck me especially in a painting "Joy of lemons and villas on Lake Garda" where the yellow of the lemons attracts the viewer's attention and brings out the freshness of the surrounding landscape. Furthermore, the blue of the water makes the yellow even more evident as it is its complement. I really liked the juxtaposition of the paintings because it enhances them on a chromatic level: alternating different colors leads the viewer both to concentrate on the single painting but also to want to see the next one almost as if it were a symphony with increasing rhythms. This exhibition restores, as the poet Ferdinando Pessoa would say, "the essential amazement that a child would have if, upon birth, he realized that he was really born" (Original) Ho avuto l'occasione di assistere, in questa bellissima palazzina storica di Peschiera, alla mostra personale di Athos Faccincani. La mostra è a ingresso libero e si può assistere  fino al 31 dicembre. Questa mostra per me è stata l'occasione per passare un pomeriggio nell'arte dei nostri giorni. I paesaggi dipinti dall'artista sono sì luoghi esistenti ma portano con sé la magia di uno sguardo limpido e carico di meraviglia verso il mondo. I colori accesi delle tele danno la percezione che il mondo sia eternamente nuovo  per i nostri occhi. I quadri comunicano armonia fra l'uomo e il passaggio e, per essere più precisi, è il paesaggio che porta conforto all'uomo come nel quadro "vela verso l'alba": dove il mare sembra simboleggiare le avversità della vita quotidiana (retaggio dell'arte paleo-cristiana) con i suoi colori blu-viola e, invece, il sole, verso il quale la barca si dirige spontaneamente, è un simbolo di salvezza e gioia. L'uso dei colori mi ha colpito soprattutto in un quadro "Gioia di limoni e ville sul lago del Garda" dove ​il giallo dei limoni attira l'attenzione dello spettatore e fa risaltare la freschezza del paesaggio attorno. Inoltre, il blu dell'acqua rende il giallo ancora più evidente essendo suo complementare. ​L' accostamento dei quadri mi è piaciuto  molto perché li valorizza a livello cromatico: alternando colori differenti porta lo spettatore sia a concentrarsi sul singolo quadro ma anche a voler vedere quello successivo quasi fosse una sinfonia con ritmi crescenti. Questa mostra restituisce come direbbe il poeta Ferdinando Pessoa " lo stupore essenziale che avrebbe un bambino se, nel nascere, si accorgesse che è nato davvero"

(Translated by Google) In one part of the beautiful building there is an exhibition of war photos and materials, managed by volunteers, while in the other wing there are occasional temporary exhibitions. (Original) In una parte del bel palazzo l'esposizione di foto e materiali di guerra, gestita da volontari, mentre nell'altra ala occasionalmente ala mostre temporanee.

(Translated by Google) Historic building in Peschiera where moments of the 1915 war are remembered, very interesting (Original) Palazzo storico a peschiera dove vengono ricordati momenti di guerra del 1915 molto interessante

(Translated by Google) Inside there is a beautiful historical museum. Worth visiting without a doubt. (Original) All'interno c'è un bellissimo museo storico. Da visitare senza ombra di dubbio.

Top!

(Translated by Google) The Cantarana Bastion is the southernmost among those built at the time of Venetian rule. It resisted the assaults of the Renaissance wars and the bombings of the Second World War, when the allies destroyed the nearby bridge called "Setteponti". The holes visible in its walls are precisely due to dropped bombs. (Original) Il Bastione Cantarana è quello più meridionale tra quelli edificati al tempo del dominio dei veneziani. Ha resistito agli assalti delle guerre rinascimentali ed ai bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale, quando gli alleati distrussero il vicino ponte chiamato "Setteponti". I buchi visibili nelle sue mura, sono appunto dovuti alle bombe sganciate.

(Translated by Google) Arriving by bike along the Mincio cycle path we find the Bastione Cantarane on our right. The Cantarane bastion is the bastion of the Venetian fortress located further south. Immediately after the construction of the Feltrin bastion, the first bastion erected, the Cantarane bastion was built. On the façade of the Bastione the damage suffered during the bombings of the Second World War which demolished the railway bridge called Setteponti built during the Habsburg period is visible. The Setteponti railway bridge, before its destruction, served as both a car and railway crossing. (Original) Arrivando in bici lungo la ciclabile del Mincio ci troviamo sulla nostra destra il Bastione Cantarane. Il bastione Cantarane è il bastione della fortezza veneziana collocato più a sud. Subito dopo la realizzazione del bastione Feltrin, primo bastione eretto, venne costruito il bastione Cantarane. Sulla facciata del Bastione sono visibili i danni riportati durante i bombardamenti della seconda guerra mondiale che hanno demolito il ponte ferroviario denominato Setteponti eretto durante il periodo asburgico. Il ponte ferroviario Setteponti, prima della sua distruzione, fungeva sia come passaggio automobilistico che ferroviario.

(Translated by Google) I was very impressed when I found this place. There was a beautiful view of a river with a beautiful bridge in the background. (Original) Ich war sehr beeindruckt als ich diesen Ort fand. Es gab eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf einen Fluss mit einer schönen Brücke im Hintergrund

(Translated by Google) From the promenade of the old port on the Mincio you find yourself facing the Cantarane bastion, built shortly after the first bastion of the Venetian fortress called Feltrin. It can be admired along the cycle and pedestrian path called Passeggiata Montagni. In the cool of the treetops a spectacle of nature opens up, in summer everything is emerald colour. Fantastic!!!! (Original) Dalla passeggiata del porto vecchio sul Mincio ci si trova di fronte il bastione Cantarane, realizzato poco dopo il primo bastione della fortezza veneziana detto Feltrin. Lo si può ammirare percorrendo la pista ciclabile e pedonale denominata Passeggiata Montagni. Al fresco delle chiome degli alberi si apre uno spettacolo della natura, d'estate è tutto color smeraldo. Fantastico!!!!

(Translated by Google) It's a beautiful place to visit. It's worth going in the morning, around 10 a.m. It won't be crowded, and you can walk around and see everything. It gets very crowded after 10 a.m. (Original) Piękne miejsce do zwiedzenia, warto wybrać się rano tak do 10. Nie będzie tłumu i miłe można pospacerować zobaczyć wszystko. Już po 10 jest duży tłum

(Translated by Google) A boat tour is an absolute must. (Original) Eine Schiffsrundfahrt ist absolute muss.

Highly recommended! As part of an old castle, the dignified holiday flats are located in the middle of a wonderful park with old trees and beautiful flowers, on the edge of a huge golf club. The flats are very spacious and relatively modernly furnished and tastefully decorated. There is shaded parking and a large pool. The equipment is complete and the nice ladies at the reception are very helpful and friendly. You sleep quietly, as if in the middle of the countryside, but by car you can be at Lake Garda or the supermarket or one of the wonderful little towns in the hinterland in a few minutes. The name Corte Paradiso is by no means an exaggeration.

This was our second time in this place. The last time was 6 years ago and it was great. During this visit, there was a feeling that the hotel was not maintained since our last visit. We encountered the following problems in our room: * The shower heads were stuck in both showers. After we complained about it, only one was replaced, but the water pressure was very weak. * The electric kettle was leaking * The kitchen hood was full of dust * The kitchen faucet handle needed a lot of pressure to open the water * The main entrance curtain was dirty * There is no curtain in the master bathroom shower. After you take a shower, the floor is full of water * One of the sofa legs in the living room was broken * There were no duvet covers and the duvets felt very dusty The only to things which were good are the cleanliness of the common arrears (garden, lobby etc.) and the location We liked this place very much during our first visit and recommended it to many friends, but I don't think we will ever come back.

Exquisite estate very professionally managed. The golf course nearby gives this typical Italian countryside hidden gem villa a touch of elegance. The outdoor swimming pool, the little playground makes it suitable for families, couples, while the very practical features of the apartments (such as fully equipped kitchen) make it a great accommodation choice for groups as well. Not far from the city center and/or train station but one needs a car or a taxi to get there. Thank you, Rita and Silvia for making our stay unforgetable even on a rainy weekend :) amazing value for money!

Very nice place. Helpful staff and spacious rooms. Great location, easy to access and cute pool. The beds were too hard for me but everything else was great. I particularly liked that you could get fresh bread in the morning (note that they do not serve breakfast).

The place itself is really good! Nice football field for children, swimming pool. Very good for families. But homes are not clean! They have to step up the cleaning by 10 levels.

A real gem in a wonderful location. Barbara on reception is the nicest and most helpful person you will ever meet and a credit to the company. Thank you Barbara for all your help.

At the checkout there was nobody at the reception. We had to call and wait for almost 1 hour. Because of that we missed our planned activity. Breakfast is served in a basket and very late (8:30), so if you want to be early it's impossible or you don't eat.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place full of history, worth a visit with explanation by the great Alpine soldiers (Original) Bellissimo luogo carico di storia, merita una visita con spiegazione da parte dei grandissimi Alpini
