Start with the fortress and historic gates
Peschiera’s fortress and historic gates make a natural first stop on a day focused on the town. Begin here, then follow the canal towards the central squares. For more detail on this part of town, see what to see on foot in the fortress and old town.
Follow the canal to the central squares
Ponte dei Voltoni and the Canale di Mezzo give this part of the itinerary its canal-side focus. Continue towards the central squares, keeping the route within Peschiera rather than adding a longer excursion. A separate trip beyond town can take you from Peschiera del Garda to Sirmione.
Take a lakefront break
The lakefront is a good place to pause between the historic centre and your next stop. After a break by the water, choose a beach or return towards the town for the weekly market. For beach options, read which beaches to consider in Peschiera del Garda.
Choose a beach or market stop
Choose between a beach visit and the weekly market for the final stop in this town-centred day. Check market hours and beach access before you go. The city centre is about a 23-minute walk from the hotel. For a day focused on Peschiera’s historic centre, consider Hotel La Favorita.
