Events in Peschiera – Lake Garda

Peschiera stands where the Mincio river flows out of the lake, a crossroads since Roman times. Its historic centre, enclosed by star-shaped Venetian fortifications, and the prehistoric pile-dwelling remains nearby have earned it two UNESCO recognitions. Served by the Milan-Venice line and the A4 motorway exit, it's one of the easiest lake towns to reach without a car.

In summer the calendar comes alive with the Palio delle Mura, canoe and kayak races along the moat. For a quieter stay, the low season is preferable: in summer Peschiera becomes one of the lake's busiest towns.
