    Malcesine is situated in the northern part of Lago di Garda, which still belongs to the Veneto Region. The whole place is dominated by the Castello Caligero, which is situated on the top of the cliff right above the lakeshore.
    This picture, which shows the rooftops of Malcesine, was taken from the Castle from where you have a magnificent view of Lago di Garda.

    You will have to search and find this place because it is hidden, the entrance looks as a door to a residence building and if it is closed you can not tell that it is permitted to enter. The door leads to a small tunnel underneath a building and to a small garden with palms and with a small opening to the lake .. you can even put your feet in the water to cool down - check the pictures.

    Malcesine has another ace down the sleeve and that is a nice castle up on a rock (really). Seems that this castle was built by the Scaglieri family from Verona, same family that built the castle in Sirmione, south of the same Garda Lake. Do visit the castle as it has to show some nice views of the lake.

    The streets of Malcesine are carefully restored using a two colour paved stones, gentle to walk on, winding and getting you around and up to the castle. Just take two hours and walk the routes, it is very peaceful and nice in Malcesine really.

    Coming from the parking lot to the lake you will reach the small marina, where the boats awaits for tourists to take the tours on the lake. A tour on the lake is mostly recommended so check out the prices, ask around and choose a boat to take you on. Or if you don't want or don't have time, just sit around and explore.

    This was a nice souvenir shop, selling not the usual junk made in china but authentic forged iron things, nice useful things like flower vase holder, wine bottles holder, all kinds of supports and many other things you will find nice.

    My favourite thing about Malcesine is taking lunch on the lake shore, on one of the restaurant terraces on the piers on the lake shore. Find the small marina and then check out the restaurants, check the prices - but it is not such a problem with prices than in other places, I found there are very good prices in Malcesine.

    Here are some of the nice views to the lake from the castle of Malcesine. On a nice day you should spend at least one hour around the castle.

    Yes, another favourite thing, you know I like animals, cats and ducks :) So it is nice to see colorful ducks on the lake - they know what they know because they stay around the restaurants on the pier so there have to be some leftovers taken by the wind or even thrown by the people.

    Just around the castle, at the base, there is a spot where are a lot of cats, I've counted six I guess. Check out the family in the second picture of the tip. Lovely aren't they? :)
