The small town on the south-eastern shore has a particular atmosphere. The old town centre, which can be reached via three gates is surrounded by city walls dating from the 14th century. During the Venetian reign Lazise was an important trading place. Today old fishing boats can be admired alongside modern yachts in the small harbour right in the middle of town. There is a wide selection of restaurants, cafes and bars around the big piazza as well as along the waterfront. In the pretty narrow lanes many shops such as delicatessens, jewellers, art galleries, shoe shops and first class ice-cream parlours can be found.
