Hi, let's take a look at Malcesine
on the beautiful Lake Garda in northern Italy
This was part of our 2019 Lakes & Lederhosen tour

So where is Malcesine
Well it's on the eastern edge of Lake Garda
in the province of Verona
in fact, Verona will be your international airport
if you're flying in
We drove from the UK to the Limone-sul-Garda
On the opposite side of the lake
and then took the ferry across
Crossing by boat gives you some stunning views
of the northern end of the lake
The ferry costs around nine euros per adult
and the crossing is relatively slow pace
taking about 20 minutes
We arrived at the quiet end of town
and it's nice take a moment or two
to enjoy the view
After about five or six minute walk
roughly 500 meters or yards
you're ready to explore the town
and we thought it was fabulous
a wonderful mix of bars, cafes, restaurants
gelaterias, gift shops and art galleries
as you'd expect there's a fair few tourists
but this was shot in early June
We just loved exploring
Stumbling across a palace
before arriving at a beautiful little Harbor
Heading on, we now step into those quiet little lanes
and again you spoilt for choice
should you want to stop and refuel
Although we stayed on the opposite side of the lake
in Limone-sul-Garda, we think
Malcesine would make an excellent destination
for a few days to explore the north of the lake
One of Malcesine's attractions is its castle
whose history dates back to the 5th century
although rebuilt and refreshed in the later years
The entrance fee is only around six euros
but sadly we just didn't have time to visit
We did have time to sneak in an ice-cream
sorry gelato
The whole place, including its stunning views,
over Lake Garda make the visit worthwhile
So sadly the time has come to leave
and perhaps we left it a little too late
to catch the ferry we intended
still there was an upside
We hope you enjoyed our view of Malcesine
