This bustling resort has always been a sentinel of the lake and retains its 16th-century walls and moated fortress. Many families use Peschiera as a base to visit Gardaland, Italys biggest and most popular theme park. By contrast, also close by, Parco Giardino Sigurta is a mix of wild and formal landscapes and one of the finest gardens in the country. A boat trip to Isola del Garda with its Venetian-style villa and gardens is also recommended.
