Lazise

The uniqueness of Italy’s First Municipality

Lazise is not just a beautiful place near Lake Garda; it also holds a historical record. In 983, it became the first free municipality in Italy through the autonomy granted by Otto II. 

Wandering among the walls and castle built in the Scaligera era is like jumping back in time, admiring the medieval remains and elegant imprint of the Republic of Venice, which is clearly visible in the old customs building. Today Lazise is a beloved tourist destination due to its historical charm and variety of experiences, from relaxing at campsites along the lake, to trekking among olive groves and vineyards. The Venetian villas, immersed among the hills or overlooking the lake, tell of the excellence of a noble past. For those looking for a fun-filled holiday, there is also Movieland Park, dedicated to cinema.

Lazise is an enchanting place for every type of traveller, from sunrise to sunset.
