From Lake Garda to Mantua – In March, we were finally back on Lake Garda and of course, we did a lot of traveling. This time we went on a day trip from Lake Garda to the historic city of Mantua, also known as Mantova. <\/p>\n
Mantua lies to the south of Lake Garda and is only 45 minutes from the southern part of Lake Garda (Peschiera) from Limone on Lake Garda and is known for its historical and cultural significance. Surrounded on three sides by artificial lakes and the river Mincio, which were created for defense purposes, the city offers a picturesque townscape and a rich history.<\/p>\n

Parking in Mantua was no problem for us in March. We cannot judge what the situation is like in the summer months. We used the paid parking lot “Gonzaga”<\/a>. One hour’s parking here costs 1.90 euros, the maximum daily rate is 6 euros. This parking lot supports Telepass, so we were able to use our toll box from Maut1<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/gardasee-inside.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Parken-Mantua-rotated.jpg” alt=”From Lake Garda to Manua – Gonzaga parking lot” title_text=”Parking-Mantua” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||40px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]In addition to an outdoor parking lot, there is also a parking garage. The parking lot is also suitable for campers.<\/p>\n Further examples of parking facilities in Mantua: [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||40px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Our trip began with a smart decision: We bought a self-guided historical tour from GetYourGuide for an unbeatable 6.99 euros. An absolute bargain that allowed us to explore the history of Mantua at our own pace by simply sharing the headphones.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This tour was not only educational, but also gave us the opportunity to solve little puzzles, which was an exciting experience for both children and adults. Our adventure began around midday when we arrived in Mantova. Before immersing ourselves in history, we fortified ourselves in a local restaurant – the perfect start to a day full of discoveries.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Our first stop took us to the Castello di San Giorgio. This is a fortress that was built between 1395 and 1406. The castle bears witness to Mantua’s eventful history and once served as a fortress for the powerful Gonzaga family, who led the city through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/gardasee-inside.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Castello-di-San-Giorgio-Manuta.jpg” alt=”Castello di San Giorgio Mantua” title_text=”Castello-di-San-Giorgio-Manuta” _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
