Culture
The streets in Malcesine are like a magical labyrinth, twisting, turning and doubling back on themselves, you just have to remember it's the getting lost that will help you fall head over heels for the place. One of the easiest things to find is the castle, you'll see it standing tall above surrounding houses. Once you get there, dodge past the wedding guests teetering along the cobbles in high heels and head inside to explore. The highlights include beautiful views over the lake and village from the top of the tower, the chance to take a sneak peak at one of the 100s of weddings held in the castle every summer and the excellent exhibition about the lake. Learning about the history, geology and wildlife of Lake Garda is a lot more interesting than you might think and a must see during your castle tour.
Why not try -- ice cream from the gelateria on Corso Garibaldi, if you're in luck they sometimes have Gorgonzola flavour!
- a boat trip to Limone, not only do you get to explore somewhere new but the view of Malcesine castle as you speed across the lake is picture perfect.
- the unique pastry treat called "Palla di Neve". Sold on Via Porta Orientale and shaped like a snowball they are dusted in icing sugar and absolutely delicious.
