Malcesine is spread along the eastern edge of the beautiful Lake Garda in Verona, stretching to Torbole and the popular Riva del Garda. Backed by the towering peak of Monte Baldo, it is a natural beauty spot and one of the most attractive settlements on the lake’s shoreline.
A romantic, picturesque town with a rich history, it has long been a magnet for writers and artists. The dramatic Scaligero Castle is the central landmark of the town. A 13th fortification featuring medieval towers and remnants of an Etruscan tomb, it has magnificent views across the lake. Other cultural sites worth visiting include the 11th century church, Santa Maria di Navene, and the Captain’s Palace, a national monument home to some impressive frescoes.
The beautiful surrounding countryside is a haven for nature-enthusiasts and active holidaymakers. Visitors take to the mountain to explore the landscape, which is ideal for hiking and biking. The Monte Baldo cable car also transports passengers up to 1750m high, from where they can ascend to the peak of the mountain for some breath-taking views across Lake Garda. On the lake, water-sports abound. From wind-surfing to angling to sailing, it is the hub of activity.
