Malcesine is one of the most
beautiful towns and one of the
most fascinating monuments of
the lake. The small port, which
gathers the old town center, is
the town’s heartbeat. It is such
a colourful place that it almost
seems unreal, just like a
painting. It is from here that
the characteristic web of little
cobbled streets originates,
along which you can find houses,
hotels and shops; the bustling
life of a quiet world.
In the antique town center, full
of shops and typical local bars
and cafes, you can visit almost
intact antique monuments: the
Castle and the Captain’s palace.
Olive groves and cypresses cover
the mountains surrounding
Malcesine all the way up to the
top where you can find almost
eternal snow. The mountain top
can be reached in fifteen
minutes on the modern cable car.
And it is on this mountain,
Monte Baldo, also known as
“Europe’s botanical garden” for
its multiplicity of flora
species, that there are
officinal herbs known by
herbalists worldwide.
Malcesine is one of the most
renowned tourist resorts of lake
Garda, with over 100 hotels, 300
apartments, lodgings and
campsites.
Thanks to the Peler wind in the
morning and the Ora wind in the
afternoon, the climate is always
mild and windy.
The town area is of approx. 68
sq.km. and extends from Navene
to Cassone.
Malcesine is a tourist and
relaxation resort thanks to its
beautiful town center and the
“lungolago” promenade, but it is
also the ideal holiday
destination for those who wish
to combine pleasant evenings
strolls or visits to the
numerous local bars with
windsurfing, sailing, trekking
or mountain biking. |
