Malcesine holidays

Malcesine’s harbourside is the perfect place to linger over a glass of something cold as you watch the world glide by. Mountain walks and water sports are favourite local pastimes, so it’s well worth getting active on your Malcesine holiday. Colourful buildings stand out from the crowd against the gently shelving ripples of the lake.

It’s magic

Stretching down the eastern edge of Lake Garda, Malcesine is as romantic as can be. Famed for the enchanting Scaliger Castle and renowned for its relaxed vibe, make sure you tick this quaint area off your list. It’s a seriously cool pick for those all-important budding photographer snaps too!

You won’t want to leave

Breathtaking blues are all around. Sail across the lake for a really cosmopolitan Italian experience or wander around town – it won’t take you long to notice the many medieval blemishes! There’s a pretty palazzo with pops of green and red, while you can cable car up to the mega Monte Baldo.
