Malcesine lies among the fragrant olive and lemon groves of the lower slopes of Monte Baldo, on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. Once a sleepy fishing village, it now bustles with life as cafes, bars, restaurants and boutiques line the narrow cobbled streets that wind down to a picturesque harbour. A new revolving cable car, rises to the top of Monte Baldo (6000ft) and giving you all-round views on the way up and down. At the summit you can marvel at the panorama of Lake Garda and where many unique groups of flora and fauna can be found. Hiking trails abound, and you can see as far as Torbole or Brenzone on a high level walk. Malcesine enjoys a Mediterranean climate, and is especially renowned for its breezes.
