Christmas among the Olive Trees – Garda Christmas Village — Garda
November–January · Piazza del Municipio and Lungolago Regina Adelaide
What you find
Garda's Christmas village has run every year for more than 25 editions. Wooden chalets on the lakefront and in the town-hall square sell Christmas goods, crafts and food. Around them are a skating rink, a food pavilion ("Padiglione dei Sapori"), visits from Father Christmas and a programme of concerts and events.
Getting to Garda
By car, the A22 exit Affi – Lago di Garda Sud is a short drive away. The nearest railway stations are Peschiera del Garda and Verona Porta Nuova: ATV line 483 runs from Peschiera via Lazise and Bardolino, lines 162–165 come from Verona, and line 484 continues north to Malcesine and Riva. Garda is also a major Navigazione Laghi stop.
The historic centre is a pedestrian area with an access permit system for authorised vehicles; the Baia delle Sirene at Punta San Vigilio has a large paid car park among the olive trees.
