The prettiest town on Lake Garda?

It’s a hard one to call, Lake Garda being so beautiful (and one of Italy’s best loved summer holiday spots), but summer holidays in Malcesine really do stand out from the crowd. Scaligero castle is built on a rock jutting over the lake, with fantastic views all around. There’s the Palazzo dei Capitani near the port - with its waterfront gardens, natural history museum and paintings - the 1200-year-old church Antica Pieve di Santo Stefano, and the huge white statue of Madonna dell’Accoglienze looking over the town (a relatively easy 8km round-trip walk from town).

Summer holidays in Malcesine: Lakeside beaches and dreamy islands

Summer holidays in Malcesine are a great opportunity to head to the water. Just 100m from the centre of Malcesine is pebbly Paina beach, with lifeguards, volleyball courts, a skate park, bars, restaurants and a beach club. It's a must-do on a hot summer day. Wander up the coast and the beaches multiply; most have floating swim rafts and a pizzeria close by. A few kilometres south of town is Val di Sogno beach, and when the lake water is low you can walk over to Isola del Sogno (Dream Island) or even swim to it just 20 metres from the shore. Scuba divers might like to rent gear and visit the boat wreck just beyond Isola del Sogno.

Take the cable car to Monte Baldo for stunning views over Lake Garda and enjoy a variety of walking and biking trails suitable for all ages. Whether exploring gentle paths for young children or more exciting routes for teens, there’s something for everyone. For a relaxing option, take the cable car to San Michele and walk back to Malcesine along a scenic mule track. Malcesine is also a great base for exploring nearby towns; take a boat to Riva or Limone, and enjoy a beautiful, easy walk along the cliff-hugging cycle-pedestrian path in Limone.
