The Resort of Malcesine

A charming town with narrow cobbled streets clustered around the 13th-century Castle Scaligero which perches on a sheer rock face with views over the lake. At the heart of the resort the busy little harbour has a delightful selection of cafes and restaurants along the water’s edge. Along the lakefront there are villas and hotels north and south of the centre. Only limited traffic is allowed into the centre with much of the town being pedestrianised and is popular with sightseers during peak season.

Suitability: The steep terrain may make it unsuitable for anyone with mobility difficulties.
