The presence of the amusement parks and the Villa dei Cedri Thermal Park in Colà add further reasons to visit Lazise, not only in summer, but throughout the year. The hinterland is very vast, its hilly and agricultural landscape allow you to enjoy beautiful views and excursions emersed in nature. Over the centuries many famous people have visited Lake Garda some of which included Catullo, Goethe and Gustav Klimt, but the mass tourism phenomenon in Lazise began in the post-war period, when the inhabitants of the French Alps, especially Germans, began to descend on the south, in search of a nearby, inexpensive holiday destination. The geographical proximity and the high value of the German Mark on the old Italian currency, the Lira, are the two main factors contributing to the social and economic development of the town. The inhabitants of Lazise, whose main activities until that time were fishing and agriculture, began to invest in tourism, building accommodation facilities, such as hotels, campsites and related services.
