Corte Mincio

Corte Mincio is not a conventional marina but rather a small landing point and departure spot for boat trips at Rivalta sul Mincio, in the municipality of Rodigo, within the protected Parco del Mincio nature reserve near Mantua. The site is a historic building formerly used as a warehouse for processing reed, and together with the old fishing hamlet of Borgo dei Pescatori it forms one of the two landmark historic sites of Rivalta.

From the pier (pontile) at Corte Mincio, guided boat and canoe excursions regularly set off through the Valli del Mincio wetlands, along the river and Lago Superiore past the villages of Grazie and Angeli, with the possibility of continuing all the way to Ponte dei Mulini in Mantua. On-site parking is available for visitors.

At Corte Mincio you will find a restaurant/osteria with pizzeria serving Mantuan cuisine in a cosy, rustic atmosphere inside the historic building. Nearby is also the Museo Etnografico/Centro Parco di Rivalta, which serves as a natural meeting point for river, canoe and cycling trips in the area.

The surroundings offer the protected Valli del Mincio reserve with its rich birdlife, water lilies and old fishing traditions, and from here you can walk to the nearby Borgo dei Pescatori. Visit Corte Mincio to experience the starting point of one of the area's most scenic river excursions and enjoy Mantuan food in historic surroundings.
