Malcesine is the main settlement along the narrow strip of flatter land on the eastern side of the lake running north from Garda through to Torbole and Riva del Garda. It is one of the most attractive settlements on the whole lake and has drawn writers and artists down through the centuries who come to admire the lovely setting and the reminders of history in the town.
Malcesine's Scaliger castle is a reminder of the strategic position of the town and the battles that were fought over who controlled this important fortification. More information:
