6Malcesine: The Jewel of the East Shore

Clinging to the slopes of Monte Baldo, Malcesine is a picturesque symphony of narrow streets, olive groves, and a medieval castle that seems to emerge from the pages of a fairy tale.

The Castello Scaligero offers panoramic views of the lake and houses a museum dedicated to natural history and the poet Goethe, who was mesmerized by Malcesine’s charm. A cable car journey from Malcesine to the summit of Monte Baldo unveils breathtaking vistas and a paradise for hikers and paragliders.
