Getting to Peschiera - Travel Information

Peschiera is located at the southeastern corner of Lake Garda at the end of the Mincio river. The Milan-Venice motorway runs just to the south of the town and the fast main road connection to Verona and Affi is easily reached from the centre. The town has a popular railway station and is close to Verona.

Travel by Car

Peschiera is located near the junction of the north-south Brenner-Verona motorway and the east-west motorway which stretches from Venice to Milan, thus making it an excellent travel option from all directions.

Drivers arriving from the east or west will be using the A4 motorway, which passes close to Peschiera. Those arriving from the south will probably filter onto the same motorway at Verona, while those arriving from the north (Germany, Austria and the South Tyrol, for example) on the A22 motorway are best advised to leave the motorway at Affi and use the SS450 dual carriageway and then the appropriate approach road to Peschiera.
