What makes Audio guides to discover Lake Garda and the city of Brescia a unique experience ?
In addition to its strategic position and excellent motorway and railway network, the city offers many attractions to the tens of thousands of tourists who visit and stay there every year. Desenzano is characterized by its narrow and sloping streets, being built close to the morainic hills, but above all by its iconic lakeside promenade.
The interior of the castle is composed of a large courtyard, used in summer as a stage for musical and theatrical performances. From the terrace below the entrance it is possible to enjoy an incredible view of Desenzano and the Brescia side of Lake Garda.
Municipal seat until the Seventies, the building is now used as a venue for conferences, conferences and art exhibitions. Right in front is the characteristic “old port” of Desenzano, present in historical sources since the Middle Ages and used, especially during the dominion of the Serenissima, for the trade of grain, which was unloaded right under the porticoes of Palazzo Todeschini.
In Piazza Matteotti you can see a curious bronze monument, inaugurated in 1967 and dedicated to the aviators of the “High Speed Department”. But what is he doing in Desenzano? Find out with this audio guide!
The museum is spread over two floors and focuses on the prehistoric era, with the most important findings coming from the Lavagnone pile-dwelling site, a UNESCO heritage site.
The remains of the building, dating back to the first half of the 4th century AD, were discovered by chance in 1921, during the laying of the foundations of a house. The exact owner of the villa is not known, but it is possible that he was Flavius Magnus Decentius, brother of the emperor Magnentius and from whose name the term Desenzano also derives.
Get ready: to climb the tower you need to go down an inclined spiral ramp… more than 400 meters long! But the tower is not the only thing that can be visited; behind, in fact, there is also the museum, where numerous artefacts from the Risorgimento era are preserved. Finally, you cannot miss a stop at the ossuary, located at the end of the tree-lined avenue, outside the tower park.
It is difficult to describe Peschiera del Garda as a simple town on the Verona side of the lake. Its position, in fact, right at the mouth of the Mincio river and with connections to the main railway and motorway arteries, makes it one of the most interesting destinations on the lake.
It is impossible not to visit the fortress of Peschiera, given that the historic center is, in fact, located inside it. This imposing construction, one of a kind on Lake Garda, is in fact a true fortified citadel, which has kept its features as a defensive bulwark unchanged.
There are many reasons why Sirmione remains in the hearts of those who visit it: the imposing Scaliger Castle that welcomes you at the entrance, the thermal waters of the lake, the Caves of Catullus…
Although clearly visible from afar, you can admire it very well by entering the historic center of Sirmione, through its monumental door. I recommend a visit to the imposing keep that dominates it, 37 meters high: the view you can enjoy from the top is certainly the most beautiful in all of Sirmione.
Although the name of the place itself is linked to the famous Veronese poet, this is an attribution linked more to tradition than to actual historical sources. However, we know that Catullus, in his Carme XXXI, celebrated Sirmione as a jewel among all the islands and peninsulas of the seas and lakes and certainly stayed there.
In addition to the castle and fortifications, of great historical importance, Lazise offers its visitors numerous beaches and proximity to two of the most famous amusement parks in Italy, Gardaland and Caneva Aquapark, as well as the Parco Natura Viva wildlife park.
In addition to precious historical and artistic testimonies, in the hamlets of Bardolino you can find interesting museums dedicated to the production of oil and the fish and ornithological species of Lake Garda. For lovers of lakeside walks, a ride on the Ferris wheel at the end of the town, 30 meters high, cannot be missed!
In addition to the traces of the rich Lombard past, Garda is famous for Punta San Vigilio, the small peninsula that closes the gulf to the north-west and is home to the Baia delle Sirene, a natural park with a bathing beach.
