Lazise

Lazise

Lazise is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Garda and is one of the most charming places along the Strada Statale 45 Gardesana. The historic old town, surrounded by a well-preserved city wall, looks like a living postcard: narrow streets, pastel-colored houses, cozy squares, and a small harbor that leads directly into the heart of the town. For those traveling in a convertible, Lazise not only offers a rewarding stop on the SS45 but also a place to breathe, enjoy, and wander – all in the style of the Italian Dolce Vita.

Old Town, Lakeside, and the Gardesana Occidentale

Anyone visiting Lazise instantly feels the relaxed lifestyle of this region. The promenade along the lake is perfect for a walk at sunset – with views of the boats gently rocking on the water. Cafés and restaurants invite you to linger, whether over a cappuccino in the morning or a glass of Bardolino in the evening.

From Lazise, the Strada Statale 45 is quickly reachable. The eastern Gardesana runs more gently in this section than on the west side, yet still offers pure driving pleasure – with glittering water on one side and vineyards on the other. For those who prefer a sportier drive, the road heads north toward Garda or south to Peschiera – both routes are characterized by Mediterranean landscapes and wide curves that get the convertible heart racing.

A Place for Enjoyers on Tour

Lazise is more than a pretty lakeside village – it is a haven on an adventure-filled route. Those who stop here should take their time to stroll through the market, plan a boat ride across Lake Garda, or enjoy a gelato in Piazza Vittorio Emanuele. Particularly appealing is a detour into the countryside with its vineyards and olive groves before returning to the route along the SS45.
