Verona Airport is the closest airport to Lake Garda's southern and eastern shore: Peschiera, Sirmione, Lazise and Bardolino are 30–35 km away, about 25–35 minutes by car. Towns at the northern tip, such as Riva del Garda, are over 80 km away and more than an hour's drive.
Which airport for Lake Garda?
Verona for the south and east of the lake. Bergamo and Milan's airports work for the western shore but are further away; Venice is an option for the north-east if flights are better. Whichever you choose, the transfer time matters more than the flight price on a short trip.
Buses from Verona to Lake Garda
There is no direct public transport from the airport to the lake towns. Take the Aerobus to Verona Porta Nuova (about 15–20 minutes), then a regional train to Peschiera or Desenzano, or a lake bus from Verona. With connections it can take a couple of hours.
Private transfer from Verona Airport to Lake Garda
A 30-minute drive against a bus, a train and another bus is why most visitors book a transfer here, especially families heading for Gardaland or campsites outside the towns.
