An excursion to Peschiera del Garda: a fascinating city on the lake

Aerial view of the port of Peschiera di Garda

Thanks to a cycle path over 40 km long that originates in Peschiera del Garda along which you can reach Mantua , you can explore the surroundings of the town on two wheels along the picturesque banks of the Mincio River where, according to what is said, Pope Leo I managed to stop the scourge of God, the barbarian Attila, king of the Huns without using any weapons. The cycle path runs along the protected park of the river, in whose clear waters it is possible to sail even by boat or, for adventure lovers, canoeing. Among the cycling routes, particularly characteristic is what goes from Serraglio to the location of the Sanctuary of Madonna del Frassino. Not far from the city, in the southern part of Lake Garda in San Benedetto di Lugana, nestled in the hills, there is the small Lake of Frassino, of glacial origin, not more than fifteen meters deep and about thirty hectares wide. Its banks are surrounded by reeds, poplars, willows and black alder. The lake, despite its small size, is a winter destination for different aquatic species of birds. Between December and February, numerous ducks stop there, while swans, water chickens, dives, river nightingales, cannaiole and more are nested there. At the beginning of spring and autumn, with a bit of patience and luck, it is possible to admire some specimens of the rare species of osprey hunting fish in the waters of the lake. Also interesting and relaxing are the itineraries that can be traveled on foot starting from the area of the Mazzini lakeside promenade. Going west, keeping always on the coast, you can reach the marinas Fornaci and Bergamini through a path of about three km along which there are different exercise equipment, dedicated to outdoor sports lovers. It is also possible to swim in the clear waters of Lake Garda or sunbathe on the beach, as well as practice various water sports. Even the walk that starting from the sports field reaches the Salionze dam is mostly on foot. During the route we line the Feltrin Bastion and the Royal Pit, thus being able to admire the grandeur of the Fortress. Continuing you walk along the bank of the river until you finally reach the dam. For those who love seaside tourism Peschiera offers beautiful beaches, which have nothing to envy to those located on the shores of the sea. One is that of the Capuchins, it is a beach mainly in gravel, but with the presence of areas covered with grass where it is possible to lie in the sun, and of small piers to dive from. The beach is free, even if there are parts equipped with sun loungers and there is an area dedicated to children with games and rides. For those who prefer sand, the ideal beach is that of the lakeside area in Mazzini, characterized by small and suggestive coves from where to dive into the clear waters of the lake. In Pioppi, a beach accessible to the disabled has recently been equipped, while in the Fornaci area there is one with free entry for animals domestic. Peschiera offers its many tourists opportunities for recreation thanks to a series of events, the most characteristic of which is < Strong>Palio of the Walls. On this occasion, the canals along the fortified walls that surround the city are used as a sort of circuit where twenty local boats, the Garda gondolini, challenge each other in the typical Venetian rowing that is, by paddling standing. The Palio resumes an ancient tradition, in fact, in the past, fishermen used to compete in these competitions using boats of this type. At the Palio you can witness from the suggestive ramparts from where it is impossible not to let yourself be taken by the enthusiasm that animates the fans of the different crews engaged in the race. In the days of the Palio, generally organized on the last weekend of August, various moments of entertainment are organized. Everything ends with the spectacular fire of the Voltoni, a splendid fireworks show. Among other events we remember: the “Patronal Festival of San Martino”, during which another palio takes place and where & egrave; it is possible to taste typical products in the food stands. The “Wings on Peschiera”, a spectacular flight of planes. The “Regatta delle Bisse”, which takes place between the months of July and August, whose winner is awarded the flag of the lake. The “Luganeggiando” bike event, a journey through the places of production of Lugano wine with the tasting of the same. And finally, “La Dolce Notte”, a night dedicated to various musical events held during the month of June at the opening of the summer season in the Porta Verona area. Finally, do not forget the numerous amusement parks that are located in the areas close to the lake town and that offer everyone an unforgettable opportunity for recreation.

Excursions to Bardolino, a tourist resort on the eastern coast of Lake Garda

Excursions to Bardolino, in the photo Hermitage of San Giorgio

On the eastern coast of Lake Garda, 30 km from Verona, on a hilly territory narrow between the lake to the West, and the hill Bardolino, a wonderful tourist resort, is located in the east. I have stayed in the city many times, and I often went for walks on the shore.

The Municipality of Bardolino is located in fact, in a very beautiful loop of Lake Garda, far from the busiest and busiest areas of the lower lake. Also known as one of the pearls of Lake Garda, it has very fascinating and evocative naturalistic scenarios, not only the lake with its clear and calm waters but also the green and lush hills that they make a side dish.

Bardolino is the perfect destination for lovers of water sports such as sailing, boating and water skiing, but you can simply do it walking or cycling. It is also a great starting point for excursions in the surroundings: the shores of the lake are full of beautiful and interesting places that you can visit by car or boat (I highly recommend a boat trip thanks for avoiding traffic. You can and admire the beautiful view and see much more than the car). Those who love fun will definitely go to see Gardaland, Moviland and CanevaWorld ( water park).

The city is protected, inland, on the hills there are vineyards. The city also houses a Wine Museum, and on the outskirts of Bardolino, in Cisano there is also the Museum of the olive oil. Here everything is explained, how olive oil is produced. You can see a short video, as is the case today, and traditional operations are demonstrated with mannequins. You can find all olive products here, such as soap, hand cream and many more products. In this territory a vine grows from which an excellent wine is obtained: Bardolino. Here too, as in other places on the peninsula, a wine route winds: Cavaion Veronese, Affi and the Rocca del Garda are the places where you can amp; ograve; taste and, why not, buy locally produced wine. In addition to visiting the cellars, here you can taste an excellent oil.

This is also the production area of the homonymous wine famous all over the world.

Useful information about Verona: Tips and How to Arrive

Verona in the evening seen from Castel San Pietro

Verona is very well connected by road, rail and has an international airport. In order to get to the city, there are three different options one can choose from;
1. By car: Getting to Verona through the use of a car is quite easy. Two different freeways exactly cross the city. The Austrada (A22- Brennero –Modena) goes from north to south while another freeway, A4 Milan –Venice, goes from east to west. While on the freeways, you can exit to the city via Verona sud, Verona Est or Verona nord. This means Verona is accessible from all directions and from different airports. State roads from Brescia, Trento, Vicenza and Mantova also reach Verona. While in the city, driving and parking is a science of its own unless you want to visit the city’s suburbs or lake. To park in the city, tickets are acquired from tobacconists and newsagents. Everything that can be seen in the city can be reached within a short walk therefore a car is not much useful. Buses and trains also run through the city.
2. Train: Many trains run from European main cities to or through Verona. The main train station is located at Verona Porta Nuova. The city also has two more additional small train stations namely Verona Porta Vescovo and Verona Parona. Train tickets can also be bought online from the Trenitalia website. Public buses and taxis stop outside the train stations main entrance. You can also walk to the center of the city from these stations.
3. Plane: Many airlines like British Airways from London, Air France from Paris, Lufthansa from Munich, Ita Airways from Rome etc. Fly to Verona. Also many charter companies fly to the city. The city’s airport is small but very busy especially during summertime. From the airport, the city is a mere 20 minutes away by taxi, bus or rented car. Buses depart every 20 minutes from the airport.
However, Verona is a great city but for foreign travellers jetting into the city, the following are tips to adhere to for a swift stay in Verona;
1. Beware of pick pockets mostly located at the city’s gate entrance of Portoni della Brà. This part of the town is very crowded with thousands of tourists and pick pockets to. Be very careful when entering the Arena, standing in front of it surrounding with a crowd or taking a stroll via Mazzani.
2. To avoid standing in long lines at the railway station to book for a ticket. Booking a ticket online via the Trenitalia website is not only economical via the discounts provided but also saves you time and prevents you from exhaustion in long queues.
3. Do not drive all-round the Arena since you may get ticketed. There are unidentified places where it is tourist pedestrian only and no vehicles allowed. The markings don’t show that for you. You can park along the street but to avoid missing space arrive early to grab one.
4. Ensure to put on the right type of shoes because the city streets are made of marble floors which turn out to be smooth and slippery especially on wet days. Therefore, before setting foot out to tour the city, ensure to put on shoes with a grip.
5. For a good get along during your short stay, tip hotel workers and get to know more about Verona from them since they are the natives. They get paid meager salaries therefore showing them you appreciate their services through tips really puts you in good hands with them. Tips range from $5 to $10. Also inquiring from them information based on the city, food etc. will make you know more about Verona.
6. Don’t be afraid of gladiators who frequently lurk around in the city. When they spot a viable target, they approach the person. If you are a lady, they kiss your hand and if you are a man they try to scare you off with their swords. Also when you bump into men garbed in 18th century clothing do not be frightened to. They are more of street actors and are not entitled to harm you.
7. If you are travelling to Verona in a family or group, It is better to carry a photo of the people you are in company with. The city is crowded and therefore if a member deviates from the lot or gets lost in the city, providing a photo to the local authorities makes it a lot easier to find them.
8. Don’t leave behind your valuable documents like passport, an international driving license etc. when coming to Verona. You might be asked to produce them at airports, whilst driving in the city etc.
9. Just visiting the city and leaving without any photo or item for memory is not good. The city is full of beautiful places that may be just too much to capture with the eyes only. Bring along a camera during your stay and take amazing photos from different captivating places in the city. Grabbing a couple of souvenirs like a t shirt is also not a bad idea.
