About
Quick facts: The harbor can accommodate about 300 boats and is one of the busiest spots on Lake Garda. It is located directly next to the historic city wall, offering a beautiful waterside panorama.
Highlights: The special feature of the harbor is the view of the nearby Scaliger Castle, whose towers seem to watch over the water traffic like guards. In summer, local fishermen sell their hand-caught catch on the shore, providing a fresh and authentic experience.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking on the paved waterfront.
- Take photos of the sunrise towards the castle, especially on clear days when magical pictures can be taken.
- Avoid weekend afternoons as this is the busiest time.
- Try the fresh fish at the small bistros along the shore, not in the large restaurants.
