BEYOND THE LAKE
BEYOND THE LAKE, THE VERONA AREA
From Lake Garda Veneto, the city of Verona is just a short and easy journey away, thanks to excellent transport connections. Its strategic position makes the lake an ideal base for discovering the wider Verona area in all its variety.
Verona stands as the cultural heart of the province, a city where history and beauty blend seamlessly. Roman remains, elegant squares, medieval architecture and a lively historic centre come together in an atmosphere that feels both timeless and vibrant. The city can be explored in a particularly engaging way during this period, with guided tours through its historic centre and the evocative “ Walls of Verona – UNESCO Tour ”, offering a unique perspective along the ancient city fortifications at golden hour.
Beyond the city, the landscape opens up into a remarkable succession of environments. Lake shores give way to rolling vineyard-covered hills, which gradually rise into the mountains of Lessinia, while historic villages and fertile plains complete a territory of striking contrast and harmony. This extraordinary diversity makes the surroundings of Lake Garda Veneto one of the most varied and rewarding destinations in Northern Italy, ideal for a holiday filled with different experiences every day.
The Verona area is traditionally divided into four main destination brands, each expressing a distinct identity of the province:
A pristine mountain landscape where nature is still untouched and traditions remain deeply rooted. Hiking trails, alpine pastures, mountain huts, and seasonal activities make Lessinia a perfect destination for outdoor lovers throughout the year.
Renowned worldwide for its wines, Valpolicella is a refined landscape of gentle hills, vineyards, historic villas, and family-run wineries. It is one of the most iconic wine tourism destinations just a short distance from Lake Garda Veneto.
A land where history and agriculture coexist beautifully. Medieval villages, fortified castles, and vineyard-covered hills define a landscape rich in identity, culture, and tradition.
An authentic rural area shaped by rivers, Venetian villas, and open countryside. Here, slow tourism takes centre stage, with cycling routes, small villages, and historical estates surrounded by nature.
