Lazise, ​​on Lake Garda: a jewel village and the first municipality of Italy.

Silvia turazza.

The municipality of Lazise is a small village overlooking the south-east shore of Lake Garda . A quiet town where the atmosphere is relaxed while strolling along the lakefront or through its alleys, squeezed between ancient buildings and enclosed in the mighty walls.

The Municipality of Lazise is the first free municipality in Italy.

Yes, because Lazise, ​​in the course of its history, has instead been a turbulent municipality: a history made up of battles, sieges and invasions; common feature of border towns. In fact, Lake Garda has always represented a natural border, as well as a political line of division between those who governed the Veneto and the Lombard territories. But the autonomist claims of the population of Lazise date back to the Holy Roman Empire: in fact, i n 983 the community asked Emperor Otto II to be able to enjoy very wide legal and fiscal autonomy. The Emperor, who wanted to maintain good relations with the population and take advantage of the territorial conformations for the defense of the troops, granted the required autonomy. For this reason, the municipality of Lazise sul Garda is considered the first free municipality in Italy .

Since then, many governments have succeeded: the Scaligeri, the Visconti, the Serenissima Republic of Venice and then the Gonzagas, Napoleon, the Lombardy-Venetia and finally, after the third war of independence in 1866, definitively the Kingdom of Italy. All left the original privileges to the community and thus allowed the country a rather rare development and wealth. Lazise still preserves many interesting signs of its historical events and its prosperity.

What to do and see in a day trip in Lazise.

The scaligero castle of lazise..

The most important and evident is undoubtedly the Scaligero Castle . The construction of the first walls began shortly before the year 1000, precisely following the autonomy granted to the village, but the current fortified structure is the work of the Scaligers who completed it in 1381.

A large part of the original structure remains today: thirteen towers and the three access gates to the city ; Porta San Zeno, for access from the east, Porta Nuova for those arriving from the north and Porta Lion (so called for the emblem of the Serenissima) for access from the south. All had drawbridges over a moat, which today has almost completely disappeared.

The town square of Lazise.

Entering from any of the doors, just walk through a few alleys to arrive in the beautiful Piazza del Comune of Lazise, ​​ paved in a checkerboard pattern . Around, the arcades of the ancient buildings now house the many tables of bars and restaurants. Relaxed off-season atmosphere, which becomes a continuous party during the warmer months.

The Old Port.

Right in front of the square opens one of the most beautiful corners of the town: the Porto Vecchio. Its construction began before the year 1000, but even in this case it was the Scaligers who completed it, around 1300, with its current features. Today this quiet and sheltered body of water is home to the small colorful fishing boats, in a postcard image. On one side of the port the old houses follow one another while on the opposite side you can immediately notice the ancient Romanesque church of San Nicolò and the Venetian Customs.

The lakeside promenade and the statue of “The Little Mermaid of the lake”.

The scenic lakeside of Lazise has a paved paving with waves , just like those of the lake. There are shops, bars, restaurants and hotels which then wedge themselves into the picturesque alleys of the historic center. Also on the Marconi lakefront, towards the north, there is also the bronze statue created by the architect Cecchini in collaboration with the sculptor Matteo Cavaioni, which represents a female figure jumping on a rock coming out of the water on a wave. Do not miss a souvenir photo in his company!

Dogana Veneta.

The Dogana Veneta building stands out in the old port of Lazise. The Garda, as we have already said, has always been a natural border and the whole Veronese shore is a continuous line of fortifications, castles and defensive walls. Of fundamental importance, both during the Scaligeri Lordship and in the Republic of Venice, was the building that housed the Customs Office. Over the years it had various functions, including the manufacture of saltpetre (to produce gunpowder) and the custody of the powerful naval fleet of the Republic of Venice. Today it hosts both weddings and events and congresses; very impressive both for the architectural structure of the building and for the position right in front of the lake. For more info click here .

Romanesque church of San Nicolò.

It is said that Saint Nicholas , the saint born in Patara in Asia Minor, one day sailing to the Holy Land, predicted and then calmed a furious storm with his prayers. Thus it was that after his death, which occurred in the year 330, he became the patron saint of waters and sailors and many cities and maritime and lake towns erected churches in his honor. The inhabitants of Lazise, ​​who drew their earnings from fishing and navigation, also built the ancient Romanesque church that still overlooks the port today , to protect their waters and their trade. The building was built in the century XII by the Guild of Originals, the privileged class which, having founded the Municipality, held the main administrative offices. The restoration work in 1953 brought to light the most precious and interesting artistic testimony of this ancient church: some fragments of the 14th century frescoes, which once covered almost entirely the walls of the church. The ancient vestiges and artistic testimonies of the church, together with its charming position on the Garda dock, make it a constant destination for faithful and tourists, still attracted today by the flavor of the ancient and simple beauty of its architecture.

Church of Saints Zenone and Martino.

In the historic center of Lazise, ​​near Porta San Zeno, is the majestic church of Saints Zenone and Martino . A place that can take you back in time, since its white facade together with the decorated columns is reminiscent of a temple of ancient Rome. Another peculiarity is its tall white square bell tower with the clock underneath. The first documents that mention the existence of the current building date back to the twelfth century. The church is in perfect neoclassical style, as evidenced by the columns supporting the entablature, ending with the Corinthian-style capitals. To unite the old and the new, inside there are two side altars that date back to the previous church. In addition, there are some works such as: the altarpiece of San Martino which is found in the choir, the Via Crucis, the altarpiece of the Sacred Heart and the Christ. The staircase, still present on the outside, was built at the end of the nineteenth century to level the floor of the church and the three statues found on the pediment of the facade (depicting San Martino, Fermo and Rustico). It is a very austere church, which although it does not present particular sumptuous architectural elements, is appreciated by many visitors and requested for their wedding.

Boats and ferries.

From Lazise it is possible to reach the other towns of the lake by means of the boats provided by Navigarda. Tickets can be purchased on the day of travel at the ticket office located near the pier at Porto Vecchio. For info on timetables and tickets click here .

What to do and see around Lazise.

Other churches.

Church of San Giovanni Battista (Piazza Chiesa – Pacengo – VR): the current Church of San Giovanni Battista dates back to 1792 and was designed in the neoclassical style by the architect Leonardo Rossi who designed it with a temple facade, composed of four style semiles ionic; inside, the church has a single rectangular nave punctuated by Corinthian pilasters and semi-columns, the flooring is in squares of red Verona marble and Botticino marble; there are various canvases made by Pio Piatti depicting the Four Evangelists, the Nativity and the frescoes on the Life of John the Baptist. The bell tower is flanked on the eastern side of the building.

Church of San Giorgio Martire (Via Castello – Colà di Lazise – VR): the church of San Giorgio Martire was built between 1857 and 1762 in a neoclassical style using the remains of the ancient Roman chapel of Santa Maria which probably dated back to to the XII century and was built inside the castle of Colà. It depended on the Pieve di Sandrà until the middle of the 16th century when, for safety reasons due to the descent of the Lanzichenecchi between 1526 and 1530 and greater convenience for the population, it became the parish seat under the title of Santa Maria and San Giorgio. Inside there are 5 altars and some altarpieces including St. George with the Virgin and the Last Supper by Ugolini.

Palù dei Mori Oratory (Località Palù dei Mori – VR): Palù dei Mori is a manor court like so many that arose in northern Italy in the 15th century. These courts are often also annexed to oratories with public functions, where the liturgy was celebrated both for the noble owners and for the workers of the court. The oratory of Palù dei Mori dates back to 1536 and is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, whose statue is located above the entrance portal. The building consists of two rooms that were richly decorated with stucco in the Rococo style; one was used for worship and the other as a rectory, from the latter the owner family accessed directly from the house. In 2018, the restoration of the entire oratory was completed, involving both the masonry and the internal stucco decoration. Now owned by the Municipality of Lazise, ​​the oratory of Sant’Antonio da Padova can be visited every second and fourth Saturday of the month as a small treasure of the lake hinterland.

Church of the Madonna della Neve (Via Madonna Pozzoli 1 – Colà di Lazise – VR): the Church of the Madonna della Neve stands on what was the first chapel of Colà, and was the seat of the parish until the Church of San Giorgio, for reasons of safety and convenience of the population. Having lost the parish dignity, the Church became the center of a strong Marian devotion, under the title of Madonna della Neve to commemorate a prodigious event linked to the construction in Rome of the first western basilica in honor of Mary. Externally the church is in a prominent position on the road to Sandrà, anticipated by a courtyard with cypresses, on the façade it has a gabled roof and in the center a fresco of the Virgin dating back to the twentieth century, the bell tower has a sail shape and located on the north east side; inside we find a marble altar with a figure of the Madonna and Child (it is a statue dating back to the late Middle Ages), in the presbytery and along the nave there are also frescoes from the first half of the twentieth century.

22 Best Things to Do in and around Lazise on Italy’s Lake Garda

6 Best Things to Do in Lazise on Italy’s Lake Garda

1. walk around the historic harbour of lazise.

Every town on Lake Garda has a small historic harbour that is picture-perfect and populated by clusters of colourful boats. Lazise has one of the prettiest of them all. Known locally as Porto Vecchio – the Old Harbour – it stands in the heart of the historic centre and a narrow sleeve of water connects it to the lake.

With a history that stretches back to the 10th century, Porto Vecchio was of particular importance between the 15th and the 18th centuries when Lazise was part of the Republic of Venice. Standing at the border between the Republic and the Duchy of Milan (corresponding roughly to modern-day Lombardy ), the harbour was where all goods arriving by boat from the duchy were checked and taxed.

The long body of the Dogana Veneta (the Venetian Customs House) still flanks the harbour. In the past, it was also used as an arsenal and as a production facility for gunpowder ingredients. Nowadays, it functions as a venue for upscale events.

Next to the Dogana , you can visit the Chiesa di San Nicolo’ al Porto . This small stone church with a tall bell tower is dedicated to St. Nicholas – the patron of fishermen and sailors who, in the past, made up a large portion of the population of Lazise. Inside the church, you can admire the vestiges of what once was a splendid cycle of frescoes influenced by the school of the renowned Florentine Renaissance painter Giotto.

Lazise’s main square – Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II – stretches from the top end of the harbour. Then, a long row of houses with gelaterias, restaurants, and shops on their ground floor leads from the piazza along the edge of the harbour and down to the lake. Just where Porto Vecchio meets the lake, the ferryboat quay juts deep into the water.

Going for a short walk around Porto Vecchio offers some of the most beautiful vistas in Lazise. It’s also a nice and easy way to experience first-hand the history and the hubbub of this beautiful town on Lake Garda.

2. Explore the Historic Centre of Lazise

Lazise doesn’t really have a long list of must-see sights where you need to spend hours to tick off all that there is to be seen. And I think that this is for the best! Instead, this town on Lake Garda is all about making the most of your leisure time by walking around its historic centre, popping in and out of the local shops, enjoying delicious food in the small restaurants, and simply taking it easy.

Surrounded by mighty defensive walls, Lazise offers the right mix of historic setting and lively lake vibe, so that you feel like you’ve done loads and seen loads without actually having to exert yourself at all. It’s all about being in the moment and just taking in the beauty of it all – the blooming flowers in numerous gardens, balconies, and pots, the medieval crenellations of the tall defensive towers, and the sparkling blue waters of the lake.

Here is a shortlist of the most interesting historic sights to see in the centre of Lazise:

Medieval fortifications – thick and tall, they hold Lazise in their tight embrace. There are 12 towers and three gates: Porta Lion (also known as Porta San Marco ), Porta Superiore (also known as Porta San Zeno ), and Porta Cansignorio (also known as Porta Nuova ).

Scaliger Castle – a private property, the castle is not open for visits. You can admire its tall towers from the outside. For more details about this striking medieval structure and its history, have a look at number 3 in this blog post: 10 Beautiful Castles to Visit Around Lake Garda, Italy .

Opposite the castle, you will find a large playground nestled in a pleasant green park. It’s a great place to head to if you are travelling as a family with kids.

Church of Sts. Zenone and Martino – a large Neoclassical church. It has been rebuilt several times and its current structure dates back to the 19th century.

3. Stroll Along the Lakefront Promenade of Lazise

One of the best things about Lazise is its long lakefront promenade. Known as  Lungolago Marconi , it starts from Porto Vecchio , runs along the historic centre, and then continues onwards to the nearby towns – Peschiera del Garda to the south and Bardolino and Garda to the north.

The walk from Lazise to Bardolino, for example, takes about an hour. It’s a very pleasant thing to do if you want to see more of the lake and feel part of the hubbub in summer and the peace and quiet in the low season.

You will notice that the promenade is covered with flagstones in black and white creating a beautiful wavy pattern. In the past, the waters of the lake flowed freely, Venice-style, into Lazise’s historic centre. Today, the old canals are filled up and the promenade’s design celebrates the memory of the olden days.

Numerous eateries and gelaterias are dotted along the promenade. You can either have lunch here enjoying the sprawling views or grab a delicious gelato to eat on the go.

Citrus trees are planted along the wavy stretch. In winter, they drip with ripe tangerines. Their bright orange colour makes even the coldest day on the lake feel so vibrant and full of life.

At the spot where the promenade leaves Lazise and heads out to the town of Bardolino, you will see the statue La Sirenetta del Lago and a yachting marina. The statue was inspired by the local fishermen’s tales of mermaids living in Lake Garda. The marina is known as Porto Nuovo.

4. Go to the Beach in Lazise

Lake Garda is a great place to go to the beach on a hot summer day. You will find several beaches in and around Lazise to top your tan. Here are the ones I really like:

• Spiaggia delle Rose – small and pebbly, this beach is right next to the lakefront promenade as it leaves the town of Lazise and heads towards Bardolino. Great for a quick dip when the sun gets too hot in summer.
• Spiaggia Marra – a sandy beach just a little bit further away from Lazise’s Scaliger Castle and the historic centre. Most importantly, it has a large car park – a godsend in summer on Lake Garda.
• Spiaggia d’Oro – marketed as the only fully sandy beach around Lake Garda, it offers all sorts of facilities – from sunloungers and umbrellas to pedalo hire. It’s managed by the adjacent camping site and as such only people holidaying in it, have access to the beach. I am mentioning it here in case a sandy beach and a campsite is what you are looking for this summer.

In addition, this website lists many more local beaches.

Bear in mind that many beaches around Lake Garda are covered in pebbles. Suitable beach shoes both in and out of the water are recommended. Exercise caution when swimming here. As with every lake and body of water, it’s important to be careful and use common sense. Especially, as the water can get very deep very quickly at Lake Garda’s beaches.

Have a look at these two blog posts for more information about the beaches of Lake Garda and how to spend a great beach day at Italy’s largest lake:

• Lake Garda Beaches – 16 Top Tips for a Great Day at the Beach at Italy’s Largest Lake
• 3 Unmissable Lake Garda Beaches to Sun Yourself On This Summer in Italy  

5. Sample Local Foods in Lazise

Protected by rugged mountains to the north and rolling hills to the south, Lake Garda enjoys a mild Mediterranean-style microclimate. Vineyards and olive groves carpet the slopes and plains around the lake. Centuries-old citrus gardens still provide rich pickings of oranges and lemons.

The lake is territorially split between three northern Italian regions –  Veneto (to which Lazise belongs), Lombardy , and  Trentino-Alto Adige . Each one of them has its own flavours and dishes. So, you will have a chance to try many different things during your time here – from Italy-wide staples such as pizza, risotto, and pasta to authentic local specialties prepared with lake fish and locally-grown fruit and vegetables.

For an in-depth introduction to the local cuisine, have a look at this blog post:

• What to Eat and Drink at Lake Garda – 19 Foods, Dishes, and Wines You Need to Try at Italy’s Largest Lake

In a nutshell, focus on the traditional for Lake Garda foodstuffs – extra virgin olive oil, fresh lake fish, black truffles, chestnuts, and fruit such as peaches and kiwis. In terms of authentic local dishes, try:

• bigoli con le sarde  – this is thick spaghetti-shaped pasta served with a delicious sauce of sardines.
• risotto con la tenca – a typical for the area of Verona dish which combines locally-produced rice with the abundant here tench fish.
• fritto misto  – expect a mix of battered and fried pieces of different types of fish served with fried vegetables. It’s much more delicious than it sounds.
• tortellini di Valeggio sul Mincio  – known as tortellini  nodo d’amore  (love-knot tortellini), these are delicious parcels of handmade pasta stuffed with different fillings. They are typical for the nearby town of Valeggio sul Mincio which is also famous for its medieval hamlet of  Borghetto sul Mincio .

6. Enjoy Fun Events All Throughout the Year in Lazise

Lazise is a great place to visit if you want to experience fun and lively Italian events. This popular town on the shores of Lake Garda has a rich calendar of happenings that take place all throughout the year. You can keep an eye on the event calendar published by the local council to see what’s on during your visit.

A weekly market is on every Wednesday. In May, Lazise stages a large historic reenactment. This is when the town honours Otto II – the 10th century Holy Roman Emperor who granted administrative autonomy to Lazise. As such, its citizens could fortify the town as well as fish and trade without paying taxes to local rulers. This is why Lazise is known as Italy’s oldest municipality.

In summer, sports competitions, art exhibitions, community hikes, and food festivals are the order of the day.

In October, the annual honey festival of Lazise attracts producers of artisan honey from all over Italy. Known as I giorni del Miele – The Days of Honey – it’s been going strong for several decades.

In winter, the town is a bit more sedate, yet it goes all out to celebrate Christmas and New Year. This is when lights are draped all around the historic centre and a temporary ice rink is installed next to the centuries-old defensive walls.

The Christmas market takes over the main square and the lakefront promenade. From excellent local nougat to truffles from the nearby Monte Baldo, there is lots to make you stop at the different chalets and shop for a lovely Italian Christmas experience.

Gardaland is also where you can visit two additional Lake Garda theme parks:

• Italy’s first  Legoland Water Park  (see more under point 3 below); and
• Gardaland Sealife Aquarium  – Italy’s first fully themed aquarium. It has 40 pools and it’s home to over 5,000 creatures that represent the fauna of Lake Garda and the world’s seas and oceans. It’s a great place to experience for yourself, especially on  a rainy day  when you still want to be surrounded by water without getting wet.

Legoland Water Park is on the territory of Gardaland. Gardaland Sealife Aquarium is just across the large car park from Gardaland.

To simplify your Italy travel planning, when visiting Lake Garda and its amusement parks you can choose to stay in the Gardaland Resort. It has three thematic hotels –  Gardaland Hotel ,  Gardaland Adventure Hotel , and  Gardaland Magic Hotel . As well as thematic restaurants and even more fun activities to keep the whole family happy.

Leolandia  – this is one of the major amusement parks in Italy. It is geared specifically toward younger kids and their families. It’s on the outskirts of  Milan , so it’s just over an hour away by car from Lazise.

With dozens of attractions and rides plus many exciting seasonal events, Leolandia is a great place to head to with the whole family. This theme park could be a great destination if you are spending a week or longer on Lake Garda and want to branch out and explore more of  Northern Italy .

N.B.: Lake Garda’s amusement parks operate seasonally. Usually, they are open during the high season from April/May to September. Then some of them may open on selected weekends and/or days during the Halloween and Christmas seasons.

Before heading there, it’s always a good idea to check the official websites (links are provided above) for current opening hours and days.

Among the main attractions are Palm Beach, Paradise Island, the Rainforest water route, and the Kamikaze turbo slide. I particularly love the events held here, especially the Carnival Party.

Time spent erecting an amphitheatre in the garden of the estate, encasing a battleship on the side of a hill, and furnishing the spacious on-site villa in a lavish manner recalling and exemplifying all the reasons that should make the Italians proud of their history.

5. Ferry-Hop Around Lake Garda Starting from Lazise

Crisscrossing Lake Garda on board a ferry is a great thing to do. Luckily, Lazise is one of the main points of departure for ferry trips on the lake. Even if you are here just for the day, a short trip by boat will give you a different angle to enjoy the natural setting.

Seeing the lake shores and the lakefront towns from the water is a very photogenic experience. From the deck, you can spot long promenades, medieval castles, pastel houses, chains of rolling hills, pebbly beaches, little coves, olive groves, Roman ruins, and centuries-old citrus gardens. 

From Lazise, the ferry boats take around 40 mins to the gorgeous town of Sirmione and then continue to Desenzano del Garda . To reach Bardolino and Garda Town in the opposite direction, pencil in, respectively 15-20 mins and 25-30 mins.

Bear in mind, however, that travel times and the frequency of ferries depend strictly on the day and the season. There could be significant variations between the high and the low season and the different days of the week. Click to consult the official Lake Garda Navigation website  for specific timetables.

6. Go Hiking in the Surroundings of Lazise on Lake Garda

Lazise is in the flatlands around the southeastern edge of Lake Garda. Yet, right next door to this lakefront town, you will find plenty of hills and mountains to enjoy some of the most exciting hikes in this corner of Italy. There are many trails to suit all abilities.

A relatively short and exhilarating hike to do is to the top of Rocca di Garda . This is a flattop hill between the towns of Bardolino and Garda. In the past, an early medieval fortress crowned its summit. The fortress’ name – Garda (from the German warda – a place of observation) – supplanted in the 8th century AD the original Roman name of the lake – Lacus Benacus. You can either walk from Lazise to Garda Town along the lakefront promenade and then continue to the top of Rocca di Garda or take the bus to Garda Town and hike from there.

If you have a car at your disposal, then you can reach the trailheads of many great hikes in the area. I particularly enjoyed hiking the route to Naole’s Crest on Monte Baldo and the circular route of the Madonna dell’Accoglienza near Malcesine. Another great place to hike is the waterfall park – Parco delle Cascate – which is about 40 mins away by car from Lazise. Finally, this website has some excellent recommendations for hikes organised by level of difficulty around the whole of Lake Garda.

In addition to hiking, the area around the lake is also great for mountain biking, climbing, paragliding, canyoning, and nordic walking. So, it’s the perfect destination for lovers of nature and/or high-adrenaline sports. 

7. Enjoy Gorgeous Garden Parks around Lazise on Lake Garda

Lazise is perfectly positioned for a visit to some of Northern Italy’s most beautiful historic gardens and landscaped parks. If you like blooming flowers, lush meadows, and ornamental ponds, you are in for a treat. Take your pick:

Parco Giardino Sigurta’  – an enormous landscaped park just off the southern shore of Lake Garda. It is officially recognised as one of the most beautiful parks in Italy and Europe. Its lush lawns, millions of tulips and roses, small ponds, and long alleys are a delight to see and photograph. You can read more about it in this blog post:  4 Gardens in the Veneto That Became Italy’s Most Beautiful Parks .

Giardino Giusti – a splendid Renaissance garden on the outskirts of Verona. First planted in the 16th century, it has been visited by many historic personalities – from Cosimo III de Medici and Mozart to Goethe and John Ruskin. You can admire Verona’s stunning panorama from the top levels of the garden.

Orto Botanico del Monte Baldo – Monte Baldo is an Alpine mountain chain that shelters the eastern shores of Lake Garda. It is known as the Garden of Europe for its remarkable botanical diversity. The Botanical Garden of Monte Baldo is at a height of 1,232 m above sea level. It replicates the natural ecosystems that thrive on the mountain.

Heller Garden  – a sensual botanical garden where art and nature unite. It was planted at the start of the 20th century. Nowadays, the garden is owned by the Austrian multimedia visionary artist Andre Heller. He is also the designer of the experience attraction  Swarovski Crystal World  in Austria.

The easiest way to reach these parks and gardens from Lazise is by car. Some of them can also be reached by public transport but travelling times will be much longer. For example, you can get the bus from Lazise to Peschiera del Garda and once there – a bus to Valeggio sul Mincio to visit Parco Giardino Sigurta’ or a train to Verona to see Giardino Giusti.

Giardino Giusti is open year-round but the other three gardens close during the low season. Check their opening times in advance to avoid disappointment.

8. Marvel at Ancient Roman Ruins a Ferry Hop Away from Lazise on Lake Garda

The ancient Romans knew a good thing when they saw it. So, it’s not surprising then that they settled on the shores of Lake Garda and built lavish lakefront villas to enjoy life. Nowadays, archaeological excavations have uncovered large-scale Roman ruins here. Seeing them during your time in Lazise is a great idea.

Here are some of the best ancient Roman ruins for you to explore a ferry hop or a bus ride away:

Grotte di Catullo and Archaeological Museum  – a vast archaeological park with the excavated ruins of a majestic Roman villa dating back to the 1st century BC. It stands right next to the lakefront town of Sirmione at the tip of the long promontory Sirmio.

Roman Villa   of  Desenzano del Garda  – an important archaeological site in the largest town on the shores of Lake Garda. Come here to admire many beautiful and well-preserved Roman mosaics. It is thought that Desenzano del Garda was named after the owner of the villa – a Roman citizen called Decentius.

Roman Villa of Nonii Arrii  – near  Bau Beach  in the lakefront town of Toscolano. This is one of the most important Roman residential buildings found on the shores of Lake Garda. It dates back to the 2nd century AD and has some well-preserved mosaics.

Archaeological Museum   A. Mucchi  – in the lakefront town of Salo’. This museum showcases the findings made during the excavations of the Lugone Necropolis – a Roman burial site with 165 graves.

If ancient history is your thing and you don’t mind travelling a bit further from Lazise, then head to the nearby cities of Verona and Brescia .

In Verona, you can see one of the largest surviving to our days ancient Roman arenas, a splendid archaeological museum, as well as majestic arches, gates, and excavated ruins. In Brescia, you can admire the largest Roman archaeological area in Northern Italy.

9. Practise Water Sports around Lazise on Lake Garda

Lake Garda offers many opportunities to try your hand at water sports. You can surf, kitesurf, water ski, dive, paddleboard, hire a pedalo or a motor boat and even practice canyoning and canoeing here. You don’t have to be an expert either.

Many water sports companies around the lake offer tasters, individual and group training, guided practice, as well as boat and sailing tours. Also, at several of the beaches around Lazise, you can rent pedalos and SUP boards. For example, try Relaxactionbeach .

Here are some local companies to consider:

• Baina – SUP rentals and courses.
• Summertime Boat Rental – boat, jet, canoe, and pedalo rentals.
• Garda Charter – one of the largest boat rental companies on Lake Garda.

Hiring a motorboat (or a sailing yacht for that matter) to crisscross Lake Garda is one of the coolest ways to travel here. You can have a boat at your disposal for a few hours or a whole week if you like. Prices are not prohibitive and getting around Lake Garda by boat is a lot of fun, too. To give you an idea, in previous summers, we have paid between 120 and 140 euros for three hours for a small boat.

If you don’t have any experience with motorboats or yachts, you can hire a skipper, too to take you places.

Bear in mind that the portion of Lake Garda from  Malcesine  up towards  Riva del Garda  and Torbole is off-limits for motorboats as lots of people practice windsurfing and kitesurfing there. You should be given full instructions by the boat chartering company as to how further north you can venture and where is the cut-off line.

A serious word of warning here, however!  The lake water can get very cold very quickly. Especially, the further away from the shore you are. The boat chartering company should provide you with life jackets and advise you specifically where it’s considered safe to anchor and how close to the shore you can get.

During the high season, there is a high level of boat traffic in Lake Garda. Many luxury boats here travel at full speed. You need to observe proper distances from other boats, yachts, and the shore at all times.

If you don’t have prior experience driving boats and a skipper is not available to hire, then it’s best to catch the ferry or book a boat tour of Lago di Garda. This  half an hour tour of the promontory of Sirmio is a great taster to seeing Italy’s largest lake from the water. With this four-hour sightseeing cruise , you will enjoy the best views along the southwestern shores of Lake Garda. Finally, this tour will delight you with waterside panoramas of some of the most beautiful medieval castles here.

10. Explore Beautiful Lakefront Towns Starting from Lazise on Lake Garda

Lazise is only one of the many beautiful towns dotted on the shores of Italy’s Lake Garda. If you are spending a few days here, then Lazise is a great point of departure to visit as many of them as possible.

Malcesine – absolutely beautiful, this lakefront town will impress you with its medieval castle, cable car, and outstanding olive oil.

The most convenient way to travel around Lake Garda is by car. However, in summer, traffic jams may happen and parking spaces can be hard to find.

11. Discover Gorgeous Medieval Villages Next Door to Lazise on Lake Garda

Don’t limit yourself to exploring just the towns on Lake Garda. Near Lazise, you will also find many ancient villages. Pretty as a picture with their cobbled streets and centuries-old houses, they offer access to beautiful corners of nature, surprising historic facts, and rich local heritage.

Here are four of the best villages to see for yourself in the vicinity of Lazise. Coincidentally, the first two are on the official list of Italy’s most beautiful villages: 

Castellaro Lagusello  – this small fortified village is less than 30 mins away by car. Perched on the shores of a small heart-shaped lake, it’s a great destination if you love medieval hamlets and their history. You can easily combine it with a visit to Borghetto sul Mincio, too.

Borghetto sul Mincio  – this small village is less than 30 mins away by car, too. Its ancient water mills stand over the River Mincio. Many of them nowadays function as restaurants serving the local delicacy – love-knot tortellini. Borghetto has a hilltop castle and an impressive medieval bridge. It’s also next door to Valeggio sul Mincio – a cute little town where you can visit one of Italy’s most beautiful garden parks, Parco Giardino Sigurta’ , as well as a great water park – Parco Cavour .

Campo di Brenzone  – this is a 1,000-year-old medieval village in the lush hills above Lake Garda. To reach it, you need to park your car in Marniga – a small lakeside community about 35 mins away by car from Lazise. Then, you need to hike for 30 to 40 minutes following centuries-old mule tracks that weave through olive groves higher and higher above the lake. Have a look at this blog post for information on how to do this hike:  Campo di Brenzone – A Great Day Trip to a Medieval Village in the Hills Above Lake Garda, Italy .

Molina – a beautiful village with slate-roofed houses and ancient watermills. Molina is also right next to the stunning Parco delle Cascate – a natural park with 18 waterfalls that you can hike past.

If you don’t have a car at your disposal during your stay in Lazise, you can use the local buses to visit some of these villages. For example, for Borghetto sul Mincio you can get bus 164 to Peschiera del Garda and once there get bus 46 to Valeggio sul Mincio. Borghetto is then a short walk away. Travel times, however, are going to be much longer than getting there by car.

12. Visit Some of Italy’s Most Stunning Sanctuaries from Lazise on Lake Garda

Three of Northern Italy’s most beautiful and interesting Christian sanctuaries are an easy trip away by car from Lazise. A visit to them gives you a chance to explore the area on a deeper level. If you are a quick sightseer and don’t mind driving around, you can try to see the sanctuaries in one day. They are:

Abbazia di Maguzzano  – this is a Benedictine abbey on the outskirts of the town of Desenzano del Garda . You can drive there in about 30 mins from Lazise.

With a history that stretches back to the 9th century, the abbey has a beautiful Renaissance church, a small museum, and an iconography school.

Sanctuary of Madonna del Frassino  – this sanctuary stands on the spot of a miraculous event that took place on 11th May 1510. This is when the local farmer Bartolomeo Broglia was attacked by a large poisonous snake as he was walking across the countryside.

He prayed to the Virgin Mary to save him. At that moment a small statue of the Madonna appeared illuminated by a strong beam of light in the branches of a nearby ash tree (in Italian,  frassino ) and the snake slid away.

The small statue and the trunk of the tree can be seen to this day in the church built to commemorate the divine miracle. This sanctuary is near the lakefront town of Peschiera del Garda and you can reach it by car from Lazise in about 20 mins.

Sanctuary of Madonna della Corona  – half-hewn into the rocks at a height of 774 m, this is a centuries-old sanctuary in the Northern Italian region of  Veneto .

13. Fall in Love with Lake Garda’s Most Romantic Corner Just Up the Road from Lazise

Punta di San Vigilio is a small promontory that juts deep into Lake Garda and separates its wide southern end from its elongated northern half.

Often referred to as the most romantic and the most charming corner of Lake Garda, Punta di San Vigilio is about 12 km away from Lazise. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore it in case you are spending a long holiday here and are looking for beautiful places to see!

The promontory is a truly lovely place steeped in legends. It has one of the best beaches on Lake Garda. It also has a medieval hamlet that nowadays functions as a luxury resort. It offers gorgeous views across Italy’s largest lake. Plus, a gulp of cormorants nests on a tiny islet just off its shores. Many celebrities and even royalty have holidayed at Punta di San Vigilio over the decades.

Have a look at this blog post for more information about Punta di San Vigilio on Lake Garda and what to do and see here:

• Punta di San Vigilio – A Walk Through the Most Charming Corner of Lake Garda, Italy

The easiest way to reach Punta di San Vigilio from Lazise is by car. Alternatively, you can get bus 483 (operational during the high season) up to Punta di San Viglio or bus 162 to the town of Garda and then bus 484 (or a taxi) onwards. You may need to ask the bus driver to specifically stop there for you.

You can combine a quick visit to Punta di San Vigilio with time spent in the nearby towns of Garda and Bardolino. Another option is to continue uplake to Italy’s shortest river and the mountain of Monte Baldo (see points 14 and 15 below).

14. See Italy’s Shortest River Just Up the Road from Lazise on Lake Garda

If you are spending a few days in Lazise and want to see something curious, then head up the lake all the way to Aril. This is Italy’s shortest river! You will find it in the small village of Cassone on the eastern shores of Lago di Garda. It’s about 32 km away from Lazise.

Visiting Aril is a great experience. The river runs fast and furious. It’s fed by freshwater springs and after only 175 m it flows straight into the lake. Along its short course, it navigates a small weir and three bridges.

The village of Cassone itself is pretty as a picture. It was actually painted by one of the most famous symbolist artists – Gustav Klimt (of ‘The Kiss’ fame).  His painting of Cassone  was sold a few years ago for almost 27 million GBP!

In Cassone, you can also visit the  Museum of the Lake . It preserves the memory of the local fishing traditions. The museum has two water reservoirs where you can see the typical for Lake Garda trouts, carp, and eels.  

Have a look at this blog post for more information about the River Aril, Cassone, and what to do and see in their vicinity:

• The Shortest River in Italy – Visiting the River Aril in Cassone on Lake Garda

The easiest way to reach Cassone from Lazise is by car. Alternatively, you can get bus 483 (operational during the high season) up to Cassone or bus 162 to the town of Garda and then bus 484 onwards. It is not a short journey but it will give you a chance to see the eastern shores of the lake and glimpse several beautiful towns along the way.

If you are a quick sightseer, you can combine a visit to Aril and Cassone with nearby Punta di San Vigilio (see above),  Malcesine , and Monte Baldo. Malcesine is one of the most beautiful  towns on Lake Garda . Monte Baldo is covered in detail under the next point.

15. Take the Cable Car to the Top of Monte Baldo Just Up the Road from Lazise on Lake Garda

This is a great thing to do if you are staying in Lazise for a few days and are eager to see more of Lake Garda.

Monte Baldo is an Alpine mountain chain that shelters the eastern shores of Italy’s largest lake. Known as the Garden of Europe for its remarkable botanical diversity, the mountain is crisscrossed by hiking paths and it is a delight to explore.

The rotating cable car  Funivia Monte Baldo  gives you a chance to quickly get to the top of the mountain. Its ground station stands right next to the lakefront town of  Malcesine  (about 36 km away from Lazise) and it has a spacious car park adjacent to it. The ride is truly spectacular as it opens panoramic views over the whole northern half of Lake Garda.

The journey to the top of Monte Baldo is split in two. The first cable car takes you from the ground station to the station of San Michele at a height of 560 m. The views of the town of Malcesine as the cable car smoothly glides uphill are soul-inspiring. You feel like you are flying over the red rooftops which slowly grow smaller and smaller and the enormous expanse of Lake Garda fills the panorama with its sparkling blue colours.

At San Michele, you take a second cable car that is bigger and even swisher than the first. While you wait, an open-air platform provides even more stunning views. Board the second cable car and don’t worry about trying to bag the best spot inside for panoramic views and pictures. The cable car slowly swivels around its axe providing a 360 degrees view. Thus everyone on board gets to enjoy it from all possible angles.

After a short but exhilarating ascent, the cable car stops at a modern terminal at a height of 1760 m. In summer, people go there to get active by hiking, paragliding, Nordic walking, and mountain biking or simply to take in the beautiful views. In winter, you can ski, snowboard, and sled.

Bear in mind that Monte Baldo’s cable car is a very popular attraction. During the high season, long queues tend to form. If you only have a limited time to spend at Lake Garda, either buy your ticket online in advance or head to the ticket office as soon as possible to book your time slot.

The easiest way to reach Malcesine from Lazise is by car. Alternatively, you can get bus 483 (operational during the high season) up to Malcesine or bus 162 to the town of Garda and then bus 484 to Malcesine. It is not a short journey but it will give you a chance to see the eastern shores of the lake and glimpse several beautiful towns along the way.

You can combine Malcesine and Monte Baldo with a quick visit to Italy’s shortest river – Aril – and Lake Garda’s most romantic corner – Punta di San Vigilio.

16. Take a Day Trip from Lazise to Some of Italy’s Most Beautiful Cities

Practical Information about Visiting Lazise on Italy’s Lake Garda

Is Lazise Worth Visiting?

Yes, Lazise is worth a visit. If you are in the area, this is one of the loveliest corners on Lake Garda to see for yourself.

Pretty as a picture, easy to explore in an hour or two, and convenient to reach by all types of transport (bar trains), this is one small town in the northern Italian region of Veneto you will want to tick off your list.

Plus, you can combine a visit to Lazise with so many other activities in the area – from hiking in the hills surrounding Lake Garda to a ferry or boat trip to other nearby lakefront towns , from having fun in some of Italy’s best and largest theme parks to enjoying the local cuisine .

All in all, Lazise is a great destination in Italy and this is why I keep revisiting it any chance I get.

How Long to Spend in Lazise When in Italy?

Lazise is a great destination for a day trip on Lake Garda or a longer stay in this corner of Italy. The town is small and easy to walk around. The local sights can all be seen very quickly and coupled with a nice walk through the historic centre and along the lakefront promenade.

If you don’t have much time and you want to see the most, then stop for an hour or two in Lazise and then continue to the nearby lakefront towns either by ferry or car. If you want a nice, relaxed lunch by the lake, then pencil in half a day in Lazise, and then you can spend the other half at one of the nearby theme parks .

For its lovely historic centre, great position on the lake, and close location to many other must-see towns and cities nearby, Lazise is also a very convenient base for a longer Italian holiday. The town offers a great variety of accommodations and above all, that feeling of lightness and excitement that is paramount to the success of any holiday.

How to Reach Lazise from Anywhere in Italy and Abroad?

No matter your point of departure, Lazise is easy to reach by plane from abroad and by car, bus, or ferry from the different towns around Lake Garda as well as from the nearby large Italian cities of Verona , Brescia , Padua ,  Venice , Milan , and Bologna .

Here is how to do it:

Verona Airport is the nearest and most convenient airport for Lazise on Lake Garda. In summer, the direct bus line 482 connects the airport to the lakefront town, thus making it so very easy to be on the lake right after you touch down. During the low season, you will need to first take the AirLink shuttle bus from the airport to Verona Porta Nuova train station. Once there, you can take a bus directly to Lake Garda. Bus lines 162, 163, and 164 connect the City of Romeo and Juliet to Lazise.

There are several other airports within easy reach of Lazise and Lake Garda. For example, check to see if flights touching down at Bergamo Airport, Venice Airport, and Bologna Airport are more convenient for you in terms of times and prices. While travelling from these three airports to Lazise takes a little longer, you never know what savings you could make on plane tickets by flying into an airport that is still quite close to Lake Garda.

Have a look at these two blog posts to learn more:

• 8 Best Airports for Lake Garda, Italy
• 7 Best Airports for Verona, Italy

Autostrada A4  (also known as  Serenissima ) and Autostrada 22 (also known as del Brennero ) are two of Italy’s modern toll motorways. The former runs horizontally across Northern Italy and it connects Trieste and Venice to Milan and Turin. The latter runs vertically through Northern Italy. It connects Modena to Verona and then continues up north to Trento and the Brenner Pass.

Both motorways pass very close to Lazise thus making this lakefront town easy to reach from anywhere in Northern Italy. Travelling to Lazise on Autostrada 4 , take the exit at Peschiera del Garda. Travelling to Lazise on Autostrada 22 , take the exit at Affi.

If you want to travel by car to Lazise from one of the towns on Lago di Garda, then ordinarily, you will use the  Strada Gardesana  – this is the long road that circumnavigates the whole lake. The  Gardesana Occidentale  branch of the road connects the towns on the southwestern, western, and northern shores. The  Gardesana Orientale  branch links the towns on the southeastern, eastern, and northern shores.

Bear in mind that Autostrada A4 , Autostrada A22 , and the  Strada Gardesana  are among the busiest roads in Italy. Even more so during the high season and the rush hour. Make sure that you always have your GPS app on to help you avoid (as much as possible) getting stuck in traffic.

The historic centre of Lazise is a limited traffic area or zona a traffico limitato in Italian. If you see a sign ZTL, don’t drive beyond it unless you have a special dispensation or a temporary pass (for example, from your hotel). Fines are very steep.

Streets in the historic centre of Lazise tend to be narrow, often cobbled or partially cobbled, and very busy during the high season. If you are visiting for the day, it’s best to leave your car at the large car park in the shadows of the medieval defensive walls circling the historic centre. Alternatively, ask your accommodation where is the best place to park overnight if it doesn’t provide free parking facilities. 

A well-developed network of local buses connects Lazise to the other towns on Lake Garda and to nearby Verona.

Bus lines 162, 163, and 164 will take you from Verona to Lazise and will then continue to the towns of Bardolino and Garda.

Bus line 483 (operational during the high season) connects Lazise to Peschiera del Garda to the west and to Bardolino, Garda, and Malcesine up the lake’s eastern shore.

In summer, bus line 482 connects Lazise directly to Verona Airport.

Lazise doesn’t have its own train station.

In fact, there are only two railway stations directly on the shores of Lake Garda. One is in the town of Peschiera del Garda and the other is in the town of Desenzano del Garda .

You can get either a high-speed train or a fast regional train and quickly get to these two train stations from anywhere in Italy . This is especially convenient for a day trip by train to Lake Garda from either Verona , Brescia ,  Milan ,  Vicenza ,  Padua ,  Venice or even  Bologna .

To check train times and book train tickets in advance, I find the following three websites very useful:  Omio ,  ItaloTreno , and  TrenItalia .

From Peschiera del Garda, take a bus to Lazise (see the heading right above). From Desenzano del Garda you can get a ferry to Lazise (see the heading right below).

Lazise is well connected by ferry to several of the other towns on Lake Garda. You can reach it from Sirmione in about 20 mins and from either Peschiera del Garda or Garda Town in about 30 mins. Travel time from Desenzano del Garda to Lazise by ferry varies between 40 mins and one hour depending on the time of day and the type of ferry.

Travel times depend strictly on the day and the season. Click to consult the  official Lake Garda Navigation website  for specific timetables.

When to visit Lazise and Lake Garda in Italy depends entirely on what you want to do and see here. If it is beautiful views, great walks, amazing food , and picturesque corners, feel free to come at any time of the year. The lake is gorgeous in any season. There are many events that take place on its shores all throughout the year. From  Christmas  events in winter to town-wide celebrations in summer , there is always something to do and see here.

Late autumn, winter, and early spring are mostly crowd-free and offer many different types of local entertainment like Christmas and craft markets, as well as food and wine festivals.

When the weather gets warm, visitors start flocking to Lake Garda. In July and August, the streets are densely packed, the theme parks are abuzz with people, and  taking a dip  in the clear lake waters to cool off is a pleasure like no other.

In July and August, temperatures in Lazise reach on average 28 degrees Celsius but often can go much higher. The shoulder season is especially pleasant here. April and May and then September and October bring temperatures between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius. However, there is also a slightly bigger chance of rain.

What to Pack for a Visit to Lazise in Italy?

With four well-defined seasons, Lake Garda is a holiday destination that’s easy to pack for.

In summer, bring sun cream, a hat and/or sunglasses, and a swimming costume. In winter, layer up. This way you will be cosy on one of the rare truly chilly days and will be able to peel off a layer or two when the sun shines bright. In spring and autumn make sure that you have a light waterproof jacket on you as downpours do happen on some days.

If you are planning to enjoy some panoramic walks or do some more strenuous hiking, bring proper hiking shoes with a good grip. Supporting your ankles on the pebbly paths in the nearby hills is a must at all times.

The same applies to walking on cobbles which is the type of surface typical for many of the historic centres of the towns around Lake Garda. So, flip-flops or super-high heels are not ideal. Opt for shoes that keep you steady and don’t allow your foot to slide inside them. Beach shoes will come in very handy when you go swimming in the lake as most of the beaches here are pebbly.

Follow the Italian dress code in so that beach attire is not welcome when visiting museums and churches. Knees and shoulders need to be kept covered.

What Are Some Other Must-See Towns on Lake Garda in Italy?

There are many towns around Lake Garda that deserve a visit on account of their picturesque beauty and numerous local sights. Personally, I love Malcesine and am partial to Torri del Benaco, Garda Town, and Riva del Garda. Torbole is lovely, Desenzano del Garda is so very pretty and convenient to get to, and Sirmione is stunning but it gets so incredibly busy in summer.

It is well known for its charming landscapes and its important artistic and historical value , but also as a destination for those seeking a moment of relaxation and recreation on Lake Garda.

Here are some good deals on hotels and trips around Lazise!

Discover Lazise

The town center the traces of a long history.

Lazise has a very long history, as many other towns on the Lake, and shows traces of the passage of many different dominations. The most important was the one of Della Scala family, lords of Verona, who built (or re-built, according to some sources) the Castle and the walls that still protect Lazise.

Inside the Walls you will see the beautiful city center, with the picturesque Old Port and the Venetian Customs facing the lake, and with its magnificent churches.  The most famous are the Church of Saint Nicolò , that is located next to the Old Port and was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style, and the Church of Saints Zenone and Martino – a little further east from the first one – that was built in the 18th century on a previous medieval church. 

At a short distance from the town center, in the hamlet of Colà, you can find the beautiful Villa dei Cedri , a natural SPA surrounded by greenery: the perfect opportunity to relax in an evocative setting. 

If you happen to be in Lazise on a wednesday morning , take a walk through the city center where the local market takes place: it usually lasts from the early morning to noon, and it’s a good opportunity to buy local products, such as wine, olive oil and cheese. 

THE SCALIGER WALLS A perfectly preserved piece of history

The Scaliger Walls are the walls that surround the town of Lazise, and include the beautiful medieval Castle of Lazise. The name is due to the noble family Della Scala, lords of Verona , who ruled on the eastern shore of the lake during the 14th century .

The walls are very well preserved and three gates are still accessible: Cansignorio (to the north), San Zeno (to the east), and Liòn (to the south). The Castle is now a private residence, but the Walls offer a beautiful view on Lazise and the lake. The walk on the Walls is free and lasts about one hour .

A few tips for your stay in Lazise

LAZISE - BARDOLINO CYCLE PATH Strolling through nature

In addition to its local delicacies, the area of Lake Garda is known for the many bike trails that surround the Benaco (the ancient name of the lake). 

One of the most beautiful traits is the cycle path that connects Lazise – Bardolino – Garda , for a total of about 13 km (8 miles). It is a track surrounded by nature and greenery that goes through the reed beds, perfect for meeting swans, ducks and mallards that populate the lake.

If you feel hungry or thirsty, along the way you will also find many kiosks.

The ideal time to appreciate this route is certainly the sunset , when the water of the lake reflects the last rays of the sun: the enchanting atmosphere and the picture-postcard view are perfect to take photos and have a memory of your stay on Lake Garda !

If you like “bike tourism”, you’ll be happy to hear that there are plenty of cycle paths you can take on Lake Garda: whether you like outings along the lake or more challenging routes, the Lake and the surrounding mountains will satisfy you. Check out the best cycle paths on Lake Garda !

BOAT TOURS & BEACHES Sit back, relax and enjoy the view!

Boat trips around Lake Garda

Lazise is served by the local public transportation service, that includes ferry boats : for example, you can take a trip to Sirmione without worrying about driving and parking, and make a truly impressive entrance.

If you prefer, you can also rent a boat or have a private tour with one of the companies in Lazise, (for example Summertime Boats Rent or Garda Charter ).

Lake Garda's beaches

Given the vastness of its territory, Lazise is rich in beaches. The most beautiful are the equipped beaches Spiaggia delle Rose and Spiaggia La Bosca . There are also two free beaches, called “La Marra – Pra’ del Principe” and “Cavazzocca”. 

Whether you decide to take a boat trip or a dip in the lake, we are sure that the crystal clear blue water of Lake Garda will win you over!

Lazise, with fractions of Pacengo and Colà ,

Territory of lazise.

Lazise is located on the Verona side of Lake Garda, situated in the plain between the lake and the backwaters of morainic hills, the highway Peschiera-Affi roughly marks the boundary with the hinterland the village of Pacengo is located near the lake while Colà is back to a few kilometers

HISTORY OF LAZISE

Lazise has had settlements since prehistoric times, since the discovery of some piles in the area. During the Roman period was one of the places on the lake that was home to the transit of goods between Germany and the Po Valley. In the Middle Ages it was an important military port land protected by a wall that included the old village and which were large parts, including doors: “ Porta Superiore “, “ Porta Meridionale ” (the Lion) and the “ Porta Nuova ” (Cansignorio ). The castle was built by the Scala in the middle of the fourteenth century by transforming a previously built probably before the ‘eleventh century. The port was built around the twelfth century church of S. Nicolò , patron of sailors. In the early years of the fifteenth century Verona was incorporated in the territories of Venice, but Lazise rebelled and was so besieged by militias blinds that did capitulate, after a few years decided to Venice restaurarne the walls and you can put a castle for its control. In that century Lazise suffered, like many other towns, the expansionist ambitions of Gonzaga and Visconti, but then found a long period of peace and prosperity, interrupted by the plague of 1630.

Lazise, Italy: lively village and resort on Lake Garda

Visit Lazise

The village and resort of Lazise is situated to the south-east of Lake Garda, between Garda (to the north) and Sirmione (to the west). The name of the village comes from the Latin name Lacisium, so the name Lazise literally means Lake Village!

Exploring Lazise

Italy This Way review: there are several very lovely resorts around the shores of Lake Garda, and although Lazise is not the most visited it is one of our favourites: the absence of cars and the pretty harbour, old town and promenade together make it a very relaxing destination to visit.

Parking was quite a challenge even when we visited Lazise in late May, so I imagine it is quite difficult in the summer...if possible you should arrive before the crowds!

You enter the town centre through an ancient gate through the fortified walls - these walls and the castle you can see just inside the gate were built in the 14th century by the Scaglieri family of lords from Verona who controlled much of the region at that time.The castle provides a dramatic backdrop to the town but is not open to the public.

Most of the centre is pedestrianised which adds considerably to its charm.

You quickly reach the harbour in the centre of Lazise, a very lovely harbour with colourful small houses - many of them now restaurants - on two sides, and the 12th century church of San Nicolo on the third side which contains numerous medieval frescoes. The only boats in the harbour are traditional small boats so the village is not dwarfed by mega yachts and cruise ships!

If you continue along the lakefront beyond the harbour you come to a long waterfront promenade, a lovely wide promenade where there are lots more restaurants and picturesque views across Lake Garda. On the lake to the south of the town centre there is also a sandy beach, which is quite unusual on the shores of Lake Garda.

Behind the harbour you will want to explore Lazise old town. There are lot of narrow streets to explore, with a wide range of shops and restaurants, colourful traditional houses with balconies, and small squares to discover.

One important monument in this part of Lazise is the church: the baroque style facade includes columns and statues and a fronton to resemble a Greek temple, and the interior is also in the baroque style, although less highly decorated than many churches in Italy.

Attractions nearby

The theme park at Gardaland is just a few minutes from Lazise and very popular with visitors.

Lazise, italy.

Lazise Italy is a charming lakeside village on Lake Garda’s southeast shore with an old town dating back to the 12th century. Not only is it a picturesque, pristine village, but it also has an upscale, impressive vibe. In fact, the lakefront promenade was designed in an exceptionally elegant fashion. Furthermore, you will be happy to discover a wide range of shops and restaurants sprinkled in the charming alleys of town. To be sure, I found it to be one of my favorite southern villages on Lake Garda .

The first thing to stand out when visiting Lazise, is it’s alluring 9th century medieval castle, Castello Scaliger di Lazise. Moreover, at the center of the village lies Lazise’s attractive busy harbor. Here, the ferries and boats glide frequently alongside the shore. In addition, Vittorio Emanuele Square is a delightful grand piazza containing a beautiful Romanesque church.

The lakeside promenade is bustling with people enjoying the wonderful view or enjoying the many bars, restaurants, cafes and gelato shops.

All things considered, yes, it’s worth the visit! In fact, Lazise is only a 30 minute drive from Verona and a short ferry ride from Sirmione .

Lazise Photo Tour

Photos always help me with getting to know a destination. Here is a photo tour of my time in Lazise…..

By and large, Lazise Italy is one of the most important villages on Lake Garda. Especially because of its natural beauty, a white sandy beach, and several water and land sport options. In addition, it is in close proximity to Gardaland and Canevaworld parks – both great for families with children.

Lazise: discovering and savoring a little gem on Lake Garda

• March 30, 2022
• The Lake Villages

Three things to see in Lazise

Lazise is a highly popular destination for tourists from all over the world, making it one of the 15 most visited towns in Italy ! A little gem on the Veronese shore of the lake, it offers unique and unforgettable views. In this article, I would like to tell you about the three things to see in Lazise and explain why you should add it to your trip to Lake Garda!

What is Lazise known for? Lazise was the first Free Municipality in what is now the Italian territory. In 983, the Roman Emperor Otto II asked the Lazise community to host his troops within the walls. The families accepted in exchange for extensive privileges, including complete civic autonomy . All the subsequent ruling families over the years have always left these privileges to the community, up to the Kingdom of Italy. For this reason, Lazise is considered the First Free Municipality in Italy .

How to get to Lazise and where to park

• By Car. The A4 motorway runs south of Lake Garda. The most convenient exit is “ Peschiera “, approximately 10 km from Lazise. If coming from the north, the preferred exit is “ Affi ” on the A22 – Brenner Motorway (about 10 km away).

For more information on bus schedules around Lake Garda, I invite you to read our dedicated article.

Where to park in Lazise? The closest parking lots to the historic center are Marra Parking and San Martino Parking, both paid. If you are looking for free parking in Lazise, you will need to move a bit further away from the historic center.

• Via Risorgimento Parking. Small parking lot about a 10-minute walk from the historic center.
• Via Toscanini. Parking about 15 minutes away from the historic center.
• Paiari Parking. Parking a bit further from the historic center, approximately a 20-minute walk.

Lazise Old Town

As soon as you arrive in Lazise, you will be greeted by the characteristic city walls . The town has three entrance gates: Porta del Lion , Porta San Zeno , and Porta Cansignorio . Regardless of which gate you enter through, if you continue straight ahead, you will reach Piazza Vittorio Emanuele , easily recognizable by its checkered pavement.

Right in front of the square, one of the most beautiful corners of the town unfolds: Lazise’s Old Port . The earliest documents confirm that the existence of this small harbor dates back to the 10th century . At the ends of the harbor, there were two towers (no longer present today) from which the walls extended, enclosing the entire castrum .

Today, Lazise’s Old Port is a peaceful harbor hosting small, colorful fishing boats, creating a picturesque postcard image . To enjoy this charming view from an elevated perspective, you can take advantage of the new panoramic terrace Belvedere di Narciso, located above the tourist office.

The interesting facts about this must-visit place on Lake Garda don’t end here. Keep reading to discover the most intriguing points and the three things to see in Lazise!

Two points of interest complete the postcard-like image I was talking about: the ancient Romanesque Church of San Nicolò and the Venetian Customs House . The white church was built in the 12th century and was dedicated to San Nicolò, who, according to legend, calmed a furious storm.

The Venetian Customs House, on the other hand, is a famous building from the Venetian era and served as the border point between Lombardy and the Republic of Venice . It is especially remembered for the fact that in the 16th century, saltpeter, a known component of gunpowder, was produced inside. Currently, it is used as an events center for weddings, ceremonies, conferences, and more.

How much time does it take to visit Lazise? The town is small, and half a day is enough. However, there are also fun, relaxing, and cultural activities that can enrich your vacation; discover them all!

What to see in Lazise in one day

Lazise is a town rich in history, art, and culture, but if you have to choose, I’ve prepared the TOP ranking of the three things you must see in Lazise. This way, you can be sure not to miss out on the essentials during your visit!

1. Scaligero Castle and Medieval Walls

2. stroll along lungolago marconi, 3. villa dei cedri thermal park.

The Scaligero Castle of Lazise, with its five towers and keep , welcomes visitors prominently, especially when admired from the floral Rosenheim street or from the lake. It dates back to the 9th century when the inhabitants erected the first defenses to protect themselves from enemy invasions. However, the actual fortress was built in the 14th century by the Scaligeri. Over the centuries, the structure was expanded, destroyed, rebuilt, and restored multiple times.

Unfortunately, you cannot visit Lazise Castle. This symbol of the town of Lazise is currently privately owned by the Bernini family, and for this reason, as well as its inaccessibility, it is not open to the public.

To still offer you a glimpse into the past, if you are exploring Lazise on foot and wondering what to see, a walk along the medieval walls is a must!

Among the crenellated towers, one, in particular, stands out because it is covered by a sloping roof. This is the ancient clock tower , relocated over the years to the parish church of San Zenone e Martino. It was covered at the time to expand the inhabited area of Lazise and make those small parts habitable. Today, it is used as a private residence.

It’s interesting to note that parts of the city wall have been lost . The first interruption can be observed on the eastern curtain along the Gardesana road. Another missing section was part of the western curtain that, starting from the castle, continued along the lake to the old port. It ended at the vanished Cadenon tower, eliminated in 1939 to make way for the war memorial that now crowns the old port of Lazise.

The second of the three things to see in Lazise is the characteristic Lungolago Marconi . The central stretch immediately catches the eye with its distinctive wave-patterned pavement and the marble plaque affixed to the wall under the terrace of the Classique restaurant. This effigy recalls the privileges that Emperor Otto II granted to the community at the time, making Lazise the oldest municipality in Italy .

Regarding the distinctive pavement , it wasn’t designed with this pattern merely for aesthetic taste. Once upon a time, the lake’s water reached right into the streets, creating small alleys reminiscent of those in Venice. These and other lanes were once navigable exclusively by boats and even featured palisades to prevent enemies from entering the town.

If the weather is lovely, don’t miss a leisurely stroll along the lakeside. The stretch between the Old Port and the New Port is full of cafes and restaurants where you can dine in Lazise.

You can comfortably sit back to relax and enjoy the local dishes while admiring the lake in all its beauty. The best time for a breathtaking view is towards sunset when the water merges with the orange hues of the sky. If you continue to the right of the New Port.

From the New Port, you can reach the towns of Cisano , Bardolino , and Garda by following this charming tree-lined promenade. It’s a perfect suggestion if you’re looking for things to do in the evening in Lazise .

If you’re in the mood for a relaxing day surrounded by nature, you must not miss the beautiful Villa dei Cedri Thermal Park . This 13-hectare natural park, enclosed by a typical cobblestone wall, features two thermal lakes at its center.

The larger lake, surrounded by soothing waterfalls , pampers visitors with thermal water at 33-34°C . If you wish to raise the temperature even further, I recommend immersing yourself in the other two “pools” within this lake, which reach a temperature of 37-39°C . A special feature of this small lake is the luminous cave hidden behind the cascading central waterfall. For those who prefer spending time in “cooler” thermal water, the second and smaller lake is recommended, with a temperature of around 29-30°C , still offering the benefits of a thermal experience.

A perfect choice if you’re looking for things to do and see in Lazise for couples. On our website, you can find discounted tickets for this magnificent thermal park. Click on this link !

The thermal water that fills Villa dei Cedri, rich in precious minerals, originates from two natural aquifers , one 200 meters deep and the other 160 meters deep, discovered in 1989. Being alkaline with a very high pH, it has numerous beneficial anti-inflammatory effects , making it excellent for those suffering from arthrorheumatic discomforts and dermatological conditions.

In the ancient stable and guesthouse, a wellness center of over 1000 square meters has been created, offering all the solutions for a complete experience. From the Turkish bath to Finnish saunas , from Himalayan pink salt scrub to biosauna and chromotherapy , the relaxation offerings are truly countless, making this day unforgettable.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for things to do in Lazise with children, there are many amusement parks and natural attractions to visit. Check out our website to discover them all and get discounted tickets .

Events in Lazise

Now that you’ve discovered the top three things to see in Lazise, let’s explore the city’s main events :

• Lake Garda in Love. The most romantic event on the lake arrives every year during this magnificent event around Valentine’s Day. It has a very rich program; I recommend taking a look if you’re planning your vacation during those days.
• Third of July and Palo della Cuccagna. This event takes inspiration from an ancient fair, featuring stalls, food and wine stands, and music along the streets of the center and on Lungolago Marconi.
• Lake Flag. During the summer months, you also have the opportunity to witness the regattas of the Bisse Championship. It’s a competition on boats typical of Lake Garda with Venetian rowing.
• Guest Festival. In the month of August, you will find this festival with gastronomic stands, live music, fun, and entertainment, concluding with a splendid fireworks display.
• National Fair “I Giorni del Miele” (The Days of Honey). A magnificent event, perhaps the most important in Lazise, organized in the first days of October. It’s not just a market where delicious artisanal honeys from all over Italy are displayed; it’s a true national fair. During the fair, technical conferences and cultural initiatives take place in the splendid setting of the Venetian Customs House.

Visit Lazise

Lazise, situated on the eastern coast of Lake Garda, is one of the Commons of the low lake. This fascinating territory is enhanced by historical elements of architectural value which can be admired in the administrative center and in the hamlets of Colà and Pacengo, where some tracts of Forest Ligana alternate with the typical cultivation of grapevines and olive trees.

The administrative center is surrounded by the town walls with turrets, gates, the castle and the dockyard.

At the old trading port there are the small church of San Nicolò and the customs: events and manifestations are organized in both the restored buildings.

Lazise is considered the first Italian Commune ever instituted; the village became famous in Italy and abroad for its tourist services: camping, hotels, farm holidays and tourist villages and much more.

Restaurant service in Lazise deserves a particular mention: it includes old traditional dishes and ancient tastes which won’t disappoint your expectations.

The presence on the territory of the funfairs “Gardaland”, “Caneva” alongside the coast and the thermal center “Villa dei Cedri” in Colà attract tourists of all ages and from all over the world.

For those who want to reach Lazise by car, the eastern Gardesana and the regional street connecting the two toll booths of Affi and Peschiera are useful infrastructural systems. As an alternative, the nearest railway station is in Peschiera and the nearest airport is in Villafranca di Verona.

Laceses, the original name of Lazise (attested from the 10th century) derives from the Latin word “lacus”, which means a place on the coast of the lake. The origins of the village date back to the prehistory when, in front of the present built-up area, there were stilt houses, more precisely near the localties of Taoli, Bagatta and Bor. The existence of this ancient inhabited area is testified not only by the presence of stilt houses pedestals on the depth, but also by the discovery of flint-made bits of arrows, scrapers, pruning hooks, whorls, prehistoric fictile material, javelins, knives, fibulas, stickpins, millstones an intact loaf of bread, displayed in the Verona natural history museum.

In Lazise were also found some remains of the Roman Age, like clay –made lanterns, Roman coins of several periods, a Roman gravestone (now set in the Venetian Customs at the port of Lazise) and a memorial stone (set in the municipal building).

In 862 the German Emperor Otto I put on the crown of Italy and of the Empire. He and his army reached the north of Italy through the Adige Valley, pouring down onto the Lake Garda coasts. An encampment was placed in Pacengo (a hamlet of Lazise), on the fields at the eastern side of the port. In 983, Otto II was in Verona to preside over the diet which would have  determined the conquest of southern Italy. In that occasion, 18 village worthies gained from the emperor important trade concessions, such as the right to levy a tax from the Lombard traders landing in the port of Lazise, the exclusive right of fishing in the part of the lake next to the village, the taxation on the transitory goods, the licence to build crenellated walls and to fortify the existing castle, inadequate to the danger of recurring invasions. With Henry IV of Germany (1077) was given the right to the locals of fishing and sailing in any part of the lake and the ownership of the Ligana forest, extended over a large area from the village of Garda to Sirmione. Henry IV concluded virtual the German domination over the lake, officially ended in 1193 after the cession of the Garda rock to the Verona municipality for the amount of 700 silver denarius.

Also Lazise was ceded, with the entire district of the lake, to the Scala family of Verona, who built the stronghold and the dockyard. In the following years, the village was involved in the war between the League of Cambrai and the Republic of Venice, undergoing devastations, sieges and bombings by the foreign forces. The village hung on to the Republic; the Venetians appreciated such faithfulness by including Lazise within their dominions in 1439. After the Congress of Vienna (1815) Lazise and the entire Lombard-Venetian territories were annexed to Austria; only after the Third War of Independence (1866) Lazise was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy.

The castle consisted in the town wall surrounding the entire center, the stronghold with the tower, and the military port, the dockyard, the curtain and the Cadenon tower protecting the trade port.

The walls had three gates: San Zeno gate, to the east, was appointed for the population: it was furnished with a portcullis and a drawbridge. In a niche of the gate, one can admire a 15th century statue of Madonna with Christ Child, which was previously set on the gate of the old San Zeno church.

Cansignorio gate, at the north, was built with the last part of the town walls and it was named Cansignorio in honour of the member of the Scala family after his death (on a pier of the door the date 1375-1376 is still legible). This gate had military functions: it would have proved useful in case of evacuation. It was kept walled-up to protect the inhabitants against the soldieries passing through Lazise from 1701 to 1955.

Lion gate, at the south, takes its name from the Venetian domination: it probably needed to the Serenissima army, in fact a San Marco Lion is set on a wall near the gate.

This small church is a jewel of Romanesque art: built in the 12 th century, it flanks the trading port. It was dedicated to Saint Nicolò, the patron saint of the sailors. The structure of the church was reworked after fires and a subsidence; it was restored in 1953 by the Communal Administration in memory of the fellow citizens fallen during the two World Wars. The main gate of San Nicolò is in front of the customs, while on the façade in front of the port one can admire a fresco of the “Madonna of the People”. Inside the church there are an altar, a wooden crucifix of the 15 th century and fragments of frescos which date back to the 14 th century; in these works, Saint Colombano is recognizable. On the opposite wall, the fresco of the “Breastfeeding Madonna” was the central part of a triptych, now lost.

The stronghold is surrounded by a moat and has two entrances with ravelins, doors, drawbridges and portcullises. At the eastern side of the wide courtyard lies the palace of the Capitan and the six towers were connected by communication trenches. The fortified tower could be kept isolated by lifting up a precise drawbridge; the actual battlement was built in a second moment, in fact, originally, there was a covered turret.

In the annexed military port, barred by a chain, Galees (a typical kind of Venetian boat) and other small crafts could find protection. The military port is now covered with earth.

10 meters high, with a truss-roof sustained by piers and a façade with battlement, from the two front gates the Galees of the fleet were put onto water. With the affirmation of the superiority of the fire-arms on the defense-systems of the castles, the dockyard was converted into a place for the making of saltpeter, a component of gun powder. Consequently, the commune bought from the Venetian Senate the old dockyard to convert it into customs, gaining the right to collect a determined amount of money for each item passing from the customs. The function of the customs went on until the coming of the railway, which made obsolete the activity of the customs, paralyzing the ancient trade dynamics of the lake.

Lazise am Gardasee

D ie Kleinstadt Lazise – ist ein malerischer Ort am Südostufer des Gardasees , der Geschichte und Gegenwart harmonisch miteinander vereint. Wie ein schützender Wall rankt sich die alte Stadtmauer mit all ihren Türmen und Toren um Lazise. Und mittendrin lassen Plätze und schmale Gassen genügend Raum, um der breiten Promenade ausreichend Platz bis in Richtung Strand zu bieten.

Geschäftig geht es rund um die unzähligen Shops, Läden und Cafés zu. Bei diesem Anblick lässt sich kaum noch erahnen, dass dieses Gebiet schon durch Römer besiedelt gewesen ist. Dennoch erscheint ein Hauch von Lazises bewegter Geschichte allgegenwärtig. So schützte die Befestigungsanlage ab dem 15. Jahrhundert vor Angriffen verfeindeter Mailänder. Doch heute ist Lazise weit mehr als ein großes historisches Freilichtmuseum. Dieses Städtchen besticht mit einem Wechselspiel aus hervorragenden Fischlokalen, angenehmer Ferienidylle oder Teil der beliebten Weinstraße des Gardasees.

Lazise in der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart

Lazise blickt auf eine lange und bewegte Geschichte zurück, welche bis in die Bronzezeit reicht. Die Ortschaft war eine Handels- und Militärstadt und galt immer als das Zentrum kriegerischer Handlungen. Im 11. Jahrhundert war die Hafenstation im Besitz der Familie Bevilacqua. Der heutige Fischerhafen diente als Liegeplatz der venezianischen Galeeren und war zu dieser Zeit der Kriegshafen.

Lazise befand sich unter wechselnder Herrschaft und erst nach dem dritten Unabhängigkeitskrieg und der Volksabstimmung ging sie in italienischen Besitz über.

Die bedeutendsten und schönsten Sehenswürdigkeiten

Lazises Stadtbild fasziniert die Besucher durch ihre landschaftliche Schönheit und Vielfalt. Zypressen, Oleander und Olivenbäume säumen die Wege und Straßen und paradiesische Palmen werfen ihre Schatten auf die hübsche Uferpromenade. Bei einem Spaziergang können die Feriengäste die ungezwungene Urlaubsatmosphäre genießen und die Seele baumeln lassen. Noch heute führen große Stadttore in die historische, autofreie Altstadt. Hier flanieren die Besucher an mittelalterlichen Bauten entlang und fühlen sich wie in einer anderen Welt. In den kleinen, romantischen Gassen laden die Cafes und Restaurants zum Verweilen ein. Die leckere, italienische Küche überzeugt mit gesunden Zutaten wie Olivenöl, mit frischen Fischgerichten und guten Weinen.

Im Park der Villa des Grafen Bernini, befindet sich eine der am besten erhaltenen Festungsanlagen Italiens. Die berühmte Scaliger Burg stammt aus dem 9. Jahrhundert, ist aber, aufgrund ihrer Lage, leider nicht für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Einen Blick in die Kirche S. Nicolos sollten sich Besucher jedoch nicht entgehen lassen. Sie wurde dem Schutzheiligen der Kirche in Verona, dem Heiligen Zeno, geweiht. Ein besonderes Erlebnis ist für viele Reisende ein erholsamer Wellnesstag. Im Ortsteil Cola di Lazise ist dies möglich. Im Park der „Villa dei Cedri“ befindet sich die „Therme di Cola“. 37 Grad Celsius heißes Wasser sprudelt aus etwa 160 Metern Tiefe. Im Thermalbad wirken Hydro-Massagen wohltuend auf Körper und Seele und das Wasser, mit seinen heilungsfördernden Eigenschaften, hat einen positiven Einfluss auf Hauterkrankungen und Durchblutungsstörungen.

Parco Termale del Garda - Terme di Colà di Lazise

Bei diesen veranstaltungen herrscht reges treiben.

Wer auf der Suche nach einem typischen Urlaubssouvenir ist, sollte über den farbenfrohen Wochenmarkt schlendern. Er findet in den Frühjahr- und Sommermonaten immer mittwochs statt.

Wege nach lazise: tipps zur anfahrt.

Die geläufigste Methode, um nach Lazise zu gelangen, ist eine Anreise mit dem Auto. Ein Weg führt über die Schweizer Route sowie Mailand. Die andere Route verläuft über den Brenner sowie Österreich. Auf dieser Brennerautobahn sollten Sie die Ausfahrt „Affi“ ansteuern. Daraufhin folgen mehrere Ausschilderungen, bevor Sie direkt Lazise erreichen. Auf dieser Strecke entscheiden Sie sich entweder für die SP31 oder SP5.

Alternativ dürfen Sie sich an Bardolino orientieren, um die letzten Kilometer auf der Gardesana zu verweilen. Diese Strecke verbreitet besonderes Flair. Schließlich fahren Sie vis-a-vis zum Gardasee entlang. Grundsätzlich sollten Sie Autofahrten über die Brennerautobahnen jedoch zu Hauptreisezeiten wie Pfingsten, die Sommerferien oder Ostern vermeiden. Zu diesen Stoßzeiten besteht ein erhöhtes Staurisiko am Brenner, nahe Mailand oder am Gotthardtunnel. Möchten Sie Lazise aus Richtung Mailand erreichen, ist die Ausfahrt in Peschiera del Garda eine gute Wahl. Wählen Sie hingegen eine Weiterfahrt auf der Brennerautobahn als Option, müssen Sie einen größeren Umweg in Kauf nehmen.

Lazise, der sogenannte „Ort am See“, ist ein wahres Urlaubsparadies. Das milde Klima, die vielfältigen Freizeitmöglichkeiten sowie die lebensfrohe und herzliche Art der Gastgeber, lassen das Städtchen in einem glanzvollen Licht erstrahlen – die besten Voraussetzungen für einen Traumurlaub!

In Lazise sollten Sie es sich nicht nehmen lassen, Ihren Gaumen mit einer besonderen Delikatesse zu verwöhnen. Für nahezu alle Restaurantbetreiber aus der Region ist es Ehrensache, sogenannten Lavarello zu servieren. Dieser Fisch begeistert als „Felchen des Gardasees“ und schmeichelt dem Gaumen eines jeden Feinschmeckers. Dieses fulminante Geschmackserlebnis runden Sie mit einem in der Region produzierten Wein ab. Weinkreationen wie der Bardolino Classico versprechen eine wahre Geschmacksexplosion.
