Highlights

Desenzano Del Garda - Besides its strategic location and excellent motorway and railway connections, the city boasts numerous attractions for the tens of thousands of tourists who visit annually. Desenzano is known for its narrow, sloping streets, nestled close to the morainic hills, and especially for its iconic lakeside promenade.
Castello di Desenzano - The castle’s interior features a large courtyard, used in summer for musical and theatrical performances. From the terrace below the entrance, you can enjoy a stunning view of Desenzano and the Brescia side of Lake Garda.
Comune di Desenzano del Garda - Palazzo Todeschini - Once the municipal seat until the 1970s, this building now hosts conferences and art exhibitions. Right in front is the characteristic “old port” of Desenzano, documented since the Middle Ages and used, especially during the Serenissima’s rule, for grain trade, with goods unloaded under the porticoes of Palazzo Todeschini.
Monumento agli Aviatori del Reparto Alta Velocita - In Piazza Matteotti, you’ll find a curious bronze monument, inaugurated in 1967, dedicated to the aviators of the “High Speed Department.” But why is it in Desenzano? Discover the story with this audio guide!
Museo Civico Archeologico Giovanni Rambotti - Spread over two floors, the museum focuses on the prehistoric era, with significant finds from the Lavagnone pile-dwelling site, a UNESCO heritage site.
Villa Romana di Desenzano del Garda - The remains of this building, dating back to the first half of the 4th century AD, were discovered by chance in 1921 during the construction of a house. The exact owner is unknown, but it might have been Flavius Magnus Decentius, brother of Emperor Magnentius, from whose name Desenzano is derived.
Torre di San Martino - Prepare yourself: to climb the tower, you need to descend an inclined spiral ramp over 400 meters long! But the tower isn’t the only attraction; behind it is a museum housing numerous Risorgimento-era artifacts. Don’t miss the ossuary at the end of the tree-lined avenue outside the tower park.
Peschiera del Garda - It’s hard to describe Peschiera del Garda as just a town on the Verona side of the lake. Its location at the mouth of the Mincio River and its connections to major railway and motorway routes make it one of the lake’s most interesting destinations.
Peschiera del Garda- UNESCO Venetian Fortress - You can’t miss visiting the fortress of Peschiera, as the historic center is located within it. This unique construction on Lake Garda is a true fortified citadel, retaining its defensive features.
Sirmione - Sirmione captivates visitors with its imposing Scaliger Castle at the entrance, the thermal waters of the lake, and the Grotte di Catullo.
Scaliger Castle - Although visible from afar, you can best admire it by entering Sirmione’s historic center through its monumental gate. A visit to the 37-meter-high keep is recommended for the stunning view from the top.
Grotte di Catullo - Although the name is linked to the famous Veronese poet, this is more a tradition than historical fact. However, Catullus celebrated Sirmione as a jewel among islands and peninsulas in his Carme XXXI and certainly stayed there.
Lazise - Besides its historically significant castle and fortifications, Lazise offers numerous beaches and proximity to two of Italy’s most famous amusement parks, Gardaland and Caneva Aquapark, as well as the Parco Natura Viva wildlife park.
Bardolino - In Bardolino’s hamlets, you can find museums dedicated to oil production and the fish and bird species of Lake Garda. For lakeside walk lovers, a ride on the 30-meter-high Ferris wheel at the town’s end is a must!
Garda - Known for its rich Lombard past, Garda is famous for Punta San Vigilio, a small peninsula home to the Baia delle Sirene, a natural park with a bathing beach.
Torri del Benaco - This village is famous for its medieval fortifications and the Tibetan bridge in Pai di Sopra. The 34-meter-long bridge crosses a 45-meter-deep gorge, not for the faint-hearted!
Brenzone sul Garda - A quieter area compared to other tourist spots on Lake Garda, Brenzone offers numerous free beaches for water sports enthusiasts and a cycle/pedestrian path to Malcesine.
Malcesine - Malcesine offers ancient history, breathtaking landscapes, excellent food, and plenty of sports opportunities!
Nago-Torbole - Discover the history and natural beauty of Nago Torbole with this audio guide, immersing yourself in one of Lake Garda’s most fascinating corners.
Riva Del Garda - During Austro-Hungarian rule, the city was a military flotilla base, heavily fortified to become an impregnable bastion during the Great War. Many of these structures remain and are now tourist attractions.
Limone sul Garda - Limone’s small port still exudes the atmosphere of fishermen and their activities. The local lemon groves and the Garda cycle path, built overlooking the lake, are worth visiting.
Tremosine sul Garda - The Terrazza del Brivido offers one of Tremosine’s most incredible panoramic views. From here, you can admire Lake Garda and the majestic Monte Baldo.
Campione del Garda - Campione is known for its centuries-old history, water sports, and the San Michele stream flowing into Lake Garda. The neoclassical church of Sant’Ercolano, rebuilt in the late 19th century, is also worth a visit.
Tignale - In Tignale, visit the Limonaia Pra dela Fam, one of the largest lemon groves on Lake Garda. The Sanctuary of Montecastello, perched on a limestone rock overlooking the lake, is also noteworthy.
Gargnano - Gargnano is famous for its lemon groves, which have fueled the local economy for centuries. You can still visit some of the most beautiful and ancient ones, like the Trevisani and Gandossi lemon groves.
Toscolano-Maderno - The Valle delle Cartiere natural area is a main attraction, offering a pleasant walk suitable for children to admire the ruins of ancient paper mills and visit the paper museum.
Gardone Riviera - Known for the Vittoriale degli Italiani and the Heller botanical garden, Gardone is a picturesque town with a rich Central European history and culture.
Il Vittoriale degli Italiani - The Vittoriale is a national monument, home, and complex of buildings and a park. Its history began with the Cargnacco estate, rented and then purchased by Gabriele D’Annunzio in 1921.
Giardino Botanico Fondazione André Heller - This incredible natural ecosystem was created by Austrian botanist Arthur Hruska. The garden’s current name comes from its owner, Austrian singer André Heller, who acquired it in 1988.
Salo - In the center of the gulf of the same name, Salò’s beautiful lakeside promenade, lined with historic buildings, offers a unique view of the lake, one of the most evocative in Garda.
Puegnago sul Garda - The “lakes” of Sovenigo are three morainic bodies of water, often visited by tourists for the abundant lotus blooms in July and August. The area is also popular with horse riding enthusiasts.
San Felice del Benaco - Among San Felice’s many wonders, the San Fermo promontory is a must-see. From here, you can also view Isola del Garda, the largest island in the lake and a local symbol.
Manerba del Garda - The Rocca di Manerba is part of a 114-hectare nature reserve, created to preserve the delicate lake ecosystem, home to numerous bird and flower species typical of the Mediterranean scrub. The view of Lake Garda from here is stunning.
Soiano Del Lago - The well-preserved castle of Soiano features surrounding walls, a keep, and a bell tower. The large open space in front is still used for summer shows and events.
Moniga del Garda - Close your eyes, listen to the gentle lapping of the lake, and relax on Moniga’s beaches while enjoying the audio guide dedicated to this Garda gem.
Padenghe sul Garda - Padenghe is dominated by an ancient castle dating back to the 12th century. The current structure results from various strengthening works over the centuries, with the internal structure and fortified entrance built later.
Lonato del Garda - Lonato shares many traits with other lake towns, such as its Bronze Age origins and the fortifications it has undergone over the centuries.
Fondazione Ugo Da Como - The ancient House of the Podestà of Lonato was built in the mid-15th century to house the Serenissima’s representative in Lonato. After the fall of the Republic of Venice and Austrian rule, the house was purchased by liberal deputy Ugo Da Como, who had it completely rebuilt and restored.
Rocca di Lonato - Built for defensive purposes, the Rocca di Lonato del Garda is one of Lombardy’s most impressive structures, measuring almost 180 meters in length and 45 meters in width.
Museo Mille Miglia - The Mille Miglia museum, located in the former Benedictine monastery of Sant’Eufemia, is dedicated to the historic car race and is divided into nine time sections.
Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo - The art gallery houses a vast collection ranging from medieval to 19th-century art, including works by masters like Francesco Hayez and Antonio Canova. The section dedicated to Renaissance painting from Brescia is exceptional, featuring masterpieces by Romanino, Il Moretto, and Giovanni Gerolamo Savoldo.
Casa Museo - Ateneo di Brescia in Palazzo Tosio - Palazzo Tosio is one of Brescia’s most beautiful and significant historic buildings. Originating in the 16th century, its current neoclassical appearance comes from major reconstructions in the 19th century.

Piazza della Vittoria - For fans of rationalism and 1930s architecture, this square is a must-visit. The entire space was designed between 1927 and 1932 by architect and urban planner Marcello Piacentini.
Piazza Paolo VI - This unique square is the heart of Brescia’s historic center, famous for its two cathedrals: the Old Cathedral and the New Cathedral.
Duomo Vecchio di Brescia - The Old Cathedral is a distinctive building with a circular structure. Its name comes from its proximity to the New Cathedral.
Biblioteca Queriniana e il Palazzo vescovile - Brescia’s most important library is named after Bishop Angelo Maria Querini, who commissioned its construction between 1746 and 1749 within the Bishop’s Palace complex.
Piazza della Loggia - Built to provide 11th-century Brescia with a significant public space, several municipal buildings were demolished to create this modern square.
Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi - Built between 1254 and 1265, the church and adjoining convent were a vow by the Brescian population to Saint Francis, marking the end of the Guelphs and Ghibellines conflict. The complex remains largely intact today.
