Garda

The history of the lake: fortresses, legends, and poetry

Garda, set among soft hills and the clear waters of the lake, is a small gem that combines panoramas and traditions.

This important city, which gives its name to the entire lake, encompasses stories of legendary queens, ancient warriors, and artists enamoured by its panoramas. It does so through a history that permeates the town, with more than 200 rock carvings that tell about the eventful past in their own way. Walking among the medieval streets, discovering the rock drawings on Monte Luppia, or immersing yourself in the forests of the Valle dei Mulini offers a trip through the centuries. Among the elegant Renaissance villas, such as Villa Brenzoni-Guarienti, and the Venetian fascination of the Palazzo dei Capitani, Garda offers a romantic and authentic atmosphere. 

There is no lack of outdoor activities, such as trekking, cycling, and water sports, to experience this timeless place on Lake Garda to the fullest.
