Peschiera del Garda is a fluvial and lacustrine town which lies on the extreme south-east point of the lake, where the Mincio river begins its course.

The Mincio river is the only effluent of Lake Garda. The huge bastions, the city walls and barracks enclose the historic centre in a “belt” made of stones and bricks.

Peschiera del Garda is an extremely important commercial and touristic centre; the shore to S. Benedetto di Lugana, and the hinterland as well, offer picturesque nooks, typical restaurants and nice excursions among the olive trees and the vineyards.
