Getting from Brescia airport to Desenzano(Lake Garda)
Posted: Fri February 18, 2005 12:26 PM UTC
I'm flying into Brescia airport later in the year and want to know the best way to get to my hotel in Desenzano. I'm staying there a few days before moving on to Verona. Anyone got any recent experience of this area and the most economical way of making the transfer?

You should be able to get a bus to the train station and then catch a train from Brescia station - or if not go into Verona. Desenazo has a train station but its quit a walk from the lakeside though - it is downhill to the town though. I noticed a many hotel on the road to th station so i guess it depends where your hotel is.
Deszano is quite a nice town - more of a loval feel and easy to get around from her - a must is the ferry across to Sirmione of course
ciao

Ciao,
I take it you'll be flying with good old Ryanair and so arriving at approx. 11.00a.m. This will give you time to get a nice cheap (9euro single) bus all the way down to Desenzano railway station without having to go to Verona and double back on yourself. For times have a look at the following website: www.cgabrescia.it
this is a local coach service serving Verona, Lake Garda and Bergamo. Enjoy your trip and should you want more info don't hesitate to contact me. Cheers

Whole area around Lago di Garda is well conected with train, however, the train station in Desenzano is away (up hill) from the city centre. I suppose you'll be more comfortable if traveling with the local buses. The distances are very short; Bresci-Desenzano 20km, Desenzano-Verona 40km.

Verona has two airports, Brescia being the nearer one to Desenzano. A couple of years back we took a Taxi from Brescia airport to Desenzano, I think it was about 60 euro but very quick.

The railway station at Desenzano is away from the lake but only about a kilometre and not too far to walk.

nhcram (my wife) has a good Lake Garda page.
