In this video:
- WHAT are the major attractions that you can't go home without having seen: Church of Saint Nicolò church, San Zeno Gate, San Nicolò Church, Scaligero castle.
- Then, I’ll describe to you HOW to follow a daily-tour to better visit the city, with a clear map of Lazise and tips for nearby attractions.
- Finally, we’ll discover WHY to visit Lazise, with his rich historic city center.
WHAT
Lazise, located on the eastern shore of Garda Lake, between Bardolino and Peschiera del Garda.
Its name derives from the Latin “lacus” which means lacustrine village. Lazise in fact was originally a group of stilt houses.
What to see in Lazise?
The medieval Church of Saint Nicolò has frescoes dating from the 12th century, by the school of Giotto.
In 1405, Lazise came under Venetian Republic rule, but the castle and the city walls were built before, by the Scaligeri of Verona.
After the Congress of Vienna (1815) it entered a period of Austrian rule, until in 1866, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy.
The 14th century La Pergolana villa, a kilometer north of Lazise, hosts a famous honey festival during the first weekend of October.
HOW
How could you visit Lazise?
I suggest you park just under the northern part of the walls. From here you can enter the narrow city’s streets, until San Zeno Gate, to move in Vittorio Emanuele square and then to San Nicolò Church. Finally, visit the Scaligero castle.
But then, I suggest to you:
- don’t miss the chance to walk north along the lake, to arrive in Cisano village and Bardolino city
- going south you could visit, by car, Peschiera del Garda or the crazy Gardaland park.
- in 25 mìnutes by car you can reach Sirmione and its thermal baths.
Finally, in half an hour by car you could arrive in Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet
Don’t forget to watch my videos on Bardolino, Sirmione, Peschiera and Verona!
WHY
The city is a popular holiday destination in Southern Europe, thanks to its beautiful view of the Alps from the Garda Lake.
I love its Medieval walls and the way this city has a series of interconnected squares that house several open-air cafés, shops, gelaterie, where you can smoothly walk or take a break. I think Lazise is a relaxing place compared to other towns on the lake.

LAKE GARDA - LAZISE
STILL WANDERING AROUND LAKE GARDA TODAY I BRING YOU TO DISCOVER LAZISE, THE OLDEST FREE TOWN IN ITALY, WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAKESIDE PROMENADE, THE BEST PRESERVED CASTLE ON LAKE GARDA, AND THE GREATEST NUMBER OF TOURIST INCOME.
HISTORICALLY LAZISE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT TOWN: DURING THE ROMAN ERA IT WAS A CRUCIAL STOP-OVER FOR THE GOODS COMING FROM NORTH. LAZISE WAS THE FIRST FREE MUNICIPALITY IN ITALY, IT WAS THE POINT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND AUSTRIAN ARMY, AND EVENTUALLY IT BECAME PART OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. IN CONCLUSION: WHEN IN LAZISE YOU FELL DRENCHED WITHIN A SPECIAL ATMOSPHERE THAT NOWADAYS YOU CAN STILL LIVE IN THIS LIVELY TOWN!
SEVERAL POPULAR AND HISTORICAL FIGURES VISITED LAZISE: CATULLO, GOETHE, GUSTAV KLIMT, BUT THE MASS TOURISM IN LAZISE BEGAN AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHEN TOURISTS, ESPECIALLY FROM GERMANY, BEGAN TO CHOOSE A CLOSER AND CHEAPER DESTINATION FOR THEIR HOLIDAYS ON LAKE GARDA. TODAY LAZISE COUNTS WITH MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF MILLION TOURISTS PER YEAR. IN JUST FEW MILES THERE ARE MORE THAN 40 HOTELS AND 10 CAMPSITES, PLUS LANDLORDS, BED AND BREAKFASTS AND OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS.
THE LAKISIDE OF LAZISE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL YOU CAN FIND ON LAKE GARDA! PIAZZA VITTORIO EMANUELE AND THE SMALL PORT ARE OTHER EVOCATIVE SPOTS, ENLIVEN BY THE FISHERMEN’S BOATS AND THE TOURISTS!
EVERY WEDNESDAY HUNDREADS OF PEOPLE WANDER THROUGH THE COLORS AND PERFUMES OF THE OPEN-AIR MARKET SCATTERED ALONG THE LAKEFRONT AND THE OLD TOWN OF LAZISE.
THE CASTLE OF LAZISE IS ONE OF THE BEST PRESERVED OF LAKE GARDA. ITS WALLS STILL ENCLOSE THE OLD TOWN, NOWADAYS FULL OF SHOPS, RESTAURANTS AND BARS.
THE VENETIAN DOGANA WAS THE ANCIENT CUSTOMS, BUILT DURING THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE GOODS COMING AND LEAVING FROM THE PORT OF LAZISE, THEN IT TURNED INTO AN ARSENAL, THEN A WAREHOUSE, AND FINALLY IT WAS THE CASA DEL FASCIO, THAT IS THE SEAT OF THE LOCAL BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL FASCIST PARTY. TODAY IT HOSTS MEETINGS, CONFERENCES, AND WEDDINGS. THIS IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE THE VENETIAN FLEET WAS MOORED DURING THE SERENISSIMA REPUBLIC. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY THE FRENCH ARMY DEFEATED THE VENETIAN FLEET; THE CAPTAIN ZACCARIA LOREDAN WANTED TO BRING THE SHIPS HERE TO KEEP THEM SAFE, BUT HE WAS GIVEN THE ORDER TO SINK THEM, TO PREVENT THEM FROM BECOMING FRENCH PROPERTY. THE CAPTAIN OBEYED, AND TODAY, MORE THAN 500 YEARS LATER, THE WRECKS OF THOSE SHIPS ARE STILL HERE, ON THE LAKE BOTTOM, SO IF YOU LOVE SCUBA DIVING THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
BUT NOT ONLY SCUBA DIVING, LAZISE IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ANY KIND OF WATER SPORTS!
BEACHES OF LAZISE
LIDO LA MARRA: THIS IS THE PUBLIC BEACH OF LAZISE; IT’S REALLY CLOSE TO THE CENTER, JUST FEW MINUTES WALKING FROM THE OLD TOWN.
PACENGO BEACH: IT’S 3 MILES SOUTH LAZISE, FEW STEPS FROM THE SMALL PORT OF PACENGO. IT’S A SMALL AND QUIET BEACH, BECAUSE IT’S FURTHER FROM THE CITY.
PRIVATE BEACHES
IF YOU GO SOUTHWARDS YOU FIND TWO VERY BEAUTIFUL SANDY BEACHES: THE OAK BEACH AND THE GOLDEN BEACH, IN ITALIAN “LA QUERCIA” AND “LA SPIAGGIA D’ORO”. THESE ARE PRIVATE BEACHES, THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CAMPSITES. THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL AND EQUIPPED WITH ANY KIND OF FACILITIES, THAT IS SUNBEDS, BEACH UMBRELLAS, BARS, RESTAURANTS AND EACH CAMPSITE HAS ALSO A WATER PARK.

Camping Bella Italia, Gardameer Italië // Campsite Bella Italia, Lake Garda Italy 2017
In the Italian province of Verona, you'll find the Bella Italia campsite, just outside the popular village of Peschiera del Garda. It's a 10 minute walk to the atmospheric centre along a lively shopping promenade. The southern part of Lake Garda is a lively place that's great fun for children, as there are lots of theme parks. But in the hinterland, there's also much to discover on a more cultural level, such as the towns of Bréscia and Verona and numerous traditional Italian villages.

Campiig Belvedere Village aan het Gardameer, Italië
Eurocamp - Camping Belvedere Village aan het Gardameer, Italië:
Kijk kilometersver uit over de omgeving – tot de voet van de Italiaanse Alpen - in de Belvedere Village Appartementen. Goed om te weten, want het schitterende uitzicht is een van de hoogtepunten van het Gardameer. De appartementen zijn ideaal gelegen tussen Castelnuovo en het pittoreske Peschiera del Garda.
