Malcesine is a charming town located on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The town is well known for its medieval castle, which dominates the skyline, as well as its narrow cobbled streets, bustling piazzas, and picturesque harbor.

Malcesine is a popular tourist destination, especially during the summer months when visitors come to enjoy the lake's crystal clear waters and stunning mountain scenery. The town is a hub for water sports enthusiasts, with windsurfing, kiteboarding, and sailing being some of the most popular activities.

The town's main attraction is the Scaliger Castle, a well-preserved medieval fortress that dates back to the 13th century. The castle houses a museum that showcases the town's history, as well as a terrace that offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Other popular attractions in Malcesine include the Palazzo dei Capitani, a historic palace that now serves as a museum, and the San Michele Arcangelo church, which features beautiful frescoes and paintings.

You can also take a cable car up to the top of Monte Baldo for panoramic views of the lake and the Alps.
