Malcesine, "the pearl of the lake", lies at the feet of Monte Baldo and looks out on that stupendous "effect of Nature" that is Lake Garda.
The imposing mass of the Scaliger Castle, dating from 1500, dominates the historic center of the town. Our attention goes to the elegant Palazzo dei Capitani as we walk through the narrow streets of the ancient Medieval burg.
 

Malcesine looks both down on the lake and up towards Monte Baldo, 1850 meters high. A modern aerial cableway gives a quick connection between the lakeside and the mountain highlands.

Malcesine's holiday offerings can answer everyone's desires: in addition to typical lake activities (swimming, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, etc.) the cableway gives guests the opportunity of practising many sports among the wildflowers of Monte Baldo, called "The Garden of Europe" (mountain bike tours, paragliding, trekking, etc.).
 

Relatively short trips offer day visits to the main art cities of northern Italy (Verona, Brescia, Bergamo, Mantua, Milan, Padua, Vicenza, Venice …).

The Arena of Verona opera season, lasting from the end of June to the beginning of September, and the recently opened Mart (museum of modern art in Rovereto) complete these cultural offerings.
