Castelnuovo del Garda

castelnuovo del garda

The destination for fun on Lake Garda

Starting from its Roman and medieval origins, Castelnuovo del Garda today is a pulsing heart of tourism around Lake Garda. 

With its waterfront perfect for swimming, you can relax on the shore and dive into the emotions of Gardaland, the most popular amusement park in Italy, along with Sea Life Aquarium and thematic hotels. The roots of its legend stretch back in time: from Beneventum to Quadrivium, up to ‘Castrum Novum’, the town preserves marks of every era. Walk among the Venetian villas and Austrian fortifications, as well as Romanesque and neoclassical churches, and breathe in an air suspended in time. 

Castelnuovo is a place where nature, history, and fun come together, creating experiences for every age.
