Castelnuovo holidays deliver a heap of theme parks and historical sights. Plus, it makes an excellent base for exploring more of Italy.

Small town, big ideas

Castelnuovo may be an unassuming stop between Peschiera and Lazise, but don't be fooled – there's a trio of theme parks within striking distance. Set back from Lake Garda in northern Italy, this ancient town's peppered with historical sites and packaged in an idyllic countryside setting.

Take the train

A train ride from Lake Garda's one of the best ways to see the rolling countryside. You'll trundle past lush olive groves and sun-dappled vineyards on the way to your big town of choice – Verona, Venice and Milan can all be reached in an hour or two.

Thrills and spills

Thrill-seekers are perfectly positioned to visit not one, but three great theme parks. Gardaland is a European top 10 with themed hotels and a sea life centre alongside its rides. CanevaWorld Resort and Movieland – a huge waterpark and a film-based theme park – are also close at hand.

Out and about

Here are some ideas of things to do when staying in Castelnuovo:
  • Lakeside promenade (in Peschiera)
  • Local ferries (2.5km away)
  • Outdoor pools
  • Gardaland theme park
  • Gardaland Sea life centre
  • Movieland theme park
  • Canevaworld water park

Top things to see and do in Castelnuovo Gardaland

The Lido di Campanello is a scenic spot on the walk along the lakefront between Castelnuovo and Peschiera. There is a pebble beach and a small play area for children.

Sunbathe on the banks of the lake at Ronchi. Like most of the beaches on the lake, it’s a mix of pebbles and grass - there’s a bar so you can grab a drink and watch the waves lapping at the shore.

The weekly market is the place to go if you're after something special to take home. It runs every Tuesday morning and sells all kinds – from clothes to jewellery to delicious, locally-produced food.

Castelnuovo is more of a quiet town so if you’re looking for a something a bit more lively then head to the nearby towns of Peschiera or Lazise. During high season (15th June to 10th September) Gardaland is open until 11pm each day – so the fun can continue well after the sun sets.

Grab a glass of wine at the hotel bar, head for the garden and enjoy the tranquillity of this pretty setting.

Castelnuovo has plenty of restaurants where you can sample the freshest, local Italian cuisine at its best. There is a range of restaurants within the Gardaland hotel complex or, when you want a change of scenery, take a walk or a short taxi ride to Castelnuovo centre and Peschiera. Gardaland itself has loads of themed restaurants to keep you going throughout the day.

Easy to reach on foot, this is within the grounds of the Gardaland hotel complex and a quality restaurant that also caters for the little ones - perfect for the whole family.

Located about a 20 minute walk or a short cab ride from the Gardaland hotels, at Al Taolon you can enjoy an authentic Italian mail that won't break the bank. Meals are prepared with fresh produce that you can pair with a bottle of their delicious house wine.

Also in Castelnuovo centre, the Bench Pub will appeal to football fans but also to anyone who loves a good gourmet burger - try the mega Premier League-themed burgers and support your home team. The portions are huge so come with an appetite.
