Available at the Tourism Peschiera Infopoint and online, the historic guidebook celebrates ten years of success with QR code maps and accessible content for an international audience.
Ten years are not just celebrated — they are shared. From 2016 to today, GardaVisit!it TiPS has accompanied thousands of travelers in discovering one of Italy’s most fascinating corners, evolving every year alongside the region. With the 2026 edition, the guide presents itself as more complete, more accessible, and more connected than ever.
Available starting May at the Tourism Peschiera Infopoint and as a digital PDF version on the official website, TiPS 2026 is the ideal tool for anyone looking to experience Lake Garda to the fullest — whether for a family weekend, a bike tour, a tasting evening, or a cultural stay.
Find Your Way Instantly: Maps with QR Codes
Getting your bearings has never been simpler. The guide includes detailed maps of eight key destinations: Peschiera del Garda, Lazise, Bardolino, Sirmione, Desenzano, Malcesine, Verona, and Venice.
For Peschiera, the symbolic town of the southern shore and home to the UNESCO Venetian Fortress, two distinct maps are available:
- Practical Services Map — parking lots, pharmacies, public transport stops, and essential services.
- Historic Center Cultural Route — a guided itinerary through the Venetian Fortress World Heritage Site.
The integrated QR codes link every map to the gardavisit.it website for real-time updates on timetables, logistics, and events. The printed guide thus becomes a permanent access point to the most up-to-date digital information.
An International Guide: 6 Languages for 6 Audiences
Lake Garda is a truly European destination, and TiPS 2026 reflects this. All main content is available in: Italian · German · French · Dutch · Spanish · English.
