Holidays to Malcesine come with sleepy villages, ancient castles and jaw-dropping mountain views.
Pretty offerings
With Lake Garda lapping up to its restaurants and a backdrop of Monte Baldo's peaks, Malcesine has plenty to offer for holidays in northern Italy. Its landmark castle, captain's palace and rotating cable car are all mega crowd-pleasers. In town, lines of washing and the aromas of homecooked feasts waft through the maze of alleys.
Spectacular scenery
The views steal the show here. The Monte Baldo cable car scales the upper reaches of the mountain, effortlessly showcasing panoramas of Lake Garda – getting down by paraglider's totally optional. You can work for your views by tackling the stone stairs of Scaligero Castle's tower, then reward yourself with creamy pistachio gelato.
Say "I do" to Malcesine
The dramatic north shores of Lake Garda are an impressive backdrop for any wedding. It doesn't get much more fairy tale-perfect than tying the knot next to a Medieval castle in the mountains. Add a selection of regional wines from north Italy, and you've got one happy wedding party.
