The southern gateway to Lake Garda, Desenzano is an ideal base for discovering the lake by bike: a lively lakefront, an old Venetian harbour, and gentle shores to set off towards Sirmione, Peschiera and the Mincio valley.
Why rent a bike in Desenzano?

Which bike to choose in Desenzano?

How much does it cost to rent a bike in Desenzano del Garda?
+
-

Are electric bikes or classic bikes better around Lake Garda?
+
-
For the flat Desenzano lakefront and short rides into town, a classic city bike is fine. If you want to reach the Valtenesi and Lugana vineyards, ride longer stretches of shoreline or tackle the hills above the lake, an electric bike is the comfortable choice and lets you cover far more ground.
What are the best bike rides from Desenzano del Garda?
+

Can I cycle from Desenzano to Sirmione?
+

Yes. Sirmione sits just east of Desenzano and is a popular, mostly flat ride along the southern shore of Lake Garda. It makes an easy half-day outing on a city or electric bike, with the famous Scaliger castle and thermal waters waiting at the tip of the peninsula.
