What is there to see around Lake Garda?

Altomincio Family Park is only 7 kilometres from Peschiera del Garda and, therefore, from the lake of the same name. If you want to visit the area and you're passionate about history, nature, food&wine and amusement parks, here are some places you shouldn't miss, in addition to the well-known Mantua, Verona and Brescia. 

The ancient walls of Peschiera del Garda 

Peschiera was named UNESCO heritage in 2017. Its walls, built around 1400 as a defence system, form a military complex that has gradually grown over the centuries to fortify the city and protect the town. You can walk along the walls and overlook all of Lake Garda from a beautiful elevated viewpoint. 

Giardino Sigurtà Public Park

This is a nature park in Valeggio sul Mincio, counted among the most beautiful in Italy. The variety of plants and flowers that it hosts is truly unique: daffodils, tulips, roses and dahlias intoxicate visitors all year round with their blossoming. In the background you can admire the Scaligero Castle which seems almost immersed in a natural potpourri. With sixty hectares of green, it is classified as the second most beautiful park in Europe. 

Castle of Ponti sul Mincio 

An ancient stronghold dating back to the 12th century, located in Ponti sul Mincio; built with the aim of defending the territory along the axis of Mincio, today the monument can be visited and offers a striking panoramic view of the Mantuan region and the river. 

Monzambano 

Mozambano is a small town situated between the Garda Morainic Hills. In addition to offering cycling routes that connect cities such as Mantua and Peschiera del Garda, it is also known as the town of two castles. An ideal place for those in search of relaxation and culture, surrounded by the greenest nature. 

Amusement parks

In addition to the famous Gardaland, you can have fun with your family in Movieland and Caneva: the Garda area is a paradise for the little ones (but also for the most active parents)!

Typical dishes of the Garda area

If you are a foodie, you can try out many typical dishes in the lake region. Thanks to the special microclimate, citrus fruits and olive oil are particularly appreciated and go well with fish from the lake cuisine and polenta. If wine is your passion, then you won't be disappointed: the productions vary depending on the latitude of the lake, and there really is something for everyone!

We look forward to seeing you at the Info Point to book the excursions departing from the Altomincio Family Park.
