The 9 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Malcesine, Veneto

April 13, 2022 Stefan Strunk

Yet another lovely old town on Lake Garda, Malcesine is an elegant resort at the base of Castello Scaligero. Enjoy a leisurely day of shopping in town (making sure to stop at an outdoor café with a lake view), or if you’re getting restless, take a cable car to Monte Baldo for skiing in winter or challenging hiking in summer.

Ferry from Malcesine to Limone and Riva

Reviewed By 201stephenw - Stevenage, United Kingdom

Nothing special. Crew were helpful and the trip does not take long. No amenities on board. Crossing gives good views from the lake of both Malcesine and Limone and the spectacular mountains in the backdrop.

3. Castello Scaligero

Castello Scaligero

For a very appropriate entrance fee (6e) you see a very well thought out presentation of history and natural habitat. Together with a beautiful view and a pleasant town, this is a great destination to see.

Monte Baldo

Reviewed By Fritz_Oz - Sydney, Australia

Monte Baldo is a fantastic place to visit during a trip at Lake Garda. Easy access via Cable Car (you might want to buy your tickets earlier to jump the long queue at the ticket office) Fantastic views, great for hiking or just a little walk. You might want to consider renting a mountain bike or go for a paragliding tandem flight with one of the local professional tandem pilots.

A pleasant easy walk from Malcesine centre passing bars, restaurants & beach areas. Good at any time of day, although during early mornings the views of the hills & mountains at the north end of Lake Garda can be of special clarity.

Palazzo dei Capitani di Malcesine

Reviewed By Lincsman

You can visit the Captains Palace and see the fresco and gardens by the lake for free during the day. We went to a classical morning concert which was performed by a flautist and pianist. This was held upstairs in a beautiful room with views over the lake. Drinks (prosecco or non-alcoholic) and snacks were included in the ticket price. A holiday highlight.
