Montichiari Airport

Montichiari Airport, serving Brescia and the southern Lake Garda area, was established in the mid-20th century and operates from a single, small passenger terminal. This compact regional airport plays a niche role in Lombardy—more focused on cargo and seasonal charters than on year‑round international routes—making it an important local gateway rather than a major hub. Located roughly 10–15 km from central Brescia and about 25–35 km from popular Lake Garda towns, it is easily reached by car via nearby motorways and by regional buses or shuttle links to Brescia’s rail station; taxis and rental cars are available on site. Montichiari is generally considered affordable for budget-conscious travelers, though services are limited, and it does not serve as a primary base for major airlines, instead hosting intermittent low-cost and charter operators.
