Located on the Veronese shore of Lake Garda, Lazise is one of the region's oldest villages. Its most striking feature is the perfectly preserved medieval town wall and the imposing Scaliger Castle by the water. A walk through the car-free alleys of the old town reveals pastel-coloured houses and cozy restaurants. The photogenic harbour is the heart of the village, where fishing boats bob. A long lakeside promenade connects Lazise with neighbouring towns, well-suited for walks or bike rides. Unlike its busier neighbours, Lazise has retained a quieter, more authentic charm.
