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.
