Bowness -- Peschiera ?

[hilldweller]

So I'm here in the sunshine of Bowness and I'm thinking "this is so similar to Peschiera del Garda, which is better ?

Both are tourist traps by a big lake, both have one purpose, to extract money from us, both excel at this.

On the whole Garda has so much more to offer,scale wise but it is 1000 miles further..

I'm confused but this year we've done both so no problem.

We went to to Peschiera for the first time this year and loved it. I think its 'horses for courses'. We visit Bowness regularly and love it, but also love the adventure of travelling abroad. Depends on how much time you have and, of course, the weather.

My first time in Peschiera too this year and I loved the water colour, bowness can't rival that or the warm sunshine.
Know where I'd choose.

Heading to Peschiera on the 10th Sept camping cappuccini can,t wait never been this late in the year stopping till early October then head to southern Spain for the winter

Bowness because it’s just 45 minutes down the road. Although I prefer Lakeside on the SW of Windermere at a CS just outside.

Bowness won handsomely last night. We went on the Jazz Cruise, again, they is on magical evening.

I don't recall ever seeing such an event on Garda, which is a bit strange.

No me neither, saw the most spectacular lightning storm though, does that count?
