Getting to Malcesine

By car, leave the A22 at Affi – Lago di Garda Sud or Rovereto Sud – Lago di Garda Nord and follow the east-shore road. There is no railway on this shore; the nearest stations are Rovereto to the north and Peschiera del Garda or Verona to the south. ATV buses run along the shore: line 483 from Peschiera via Lazise, Bardolino and Garda, and line 484 between Garda, Malcesine and Riva del Garda. Navigazione Laghi boats stop at Malcesine centro.

Ferry: Busy stop on the Desenzano–Riva line, with frequent summer crossings to Limone (about 20 minutes) and some fast services (servizio rapido, with supplement).

Parking: There is a car park by the cable car valley station on Via Navene Vecchia; the cobbled old centre is not for driving.

About Malcesine

Malcesine is the northernmost Veneto town on the east shore of Lake Garda: a medieval centre of cobbled lanes climbing from the harbour to the Castello Scaligero, which stands on a rock straight above the water.
