Welcome to 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞, a historic destination bordering Lake Garda, considered among the most beautiful villages in Italy. On this walking tour, we traverse around the city’s charming neighborhoods, its ancient castle, and witness breathtaking views of the surroundings.

Thousands of tourists come here daily during the summers to soak in the city’s vintage charm while discovering Malcesine’s many attractions like the 800-year-old Scaliger Castle, the old harbor, pretty cafe and its narrow medieval streets, which we’ll visit during our walk.
