Malcesine, Lake Garda, is clustered around the foot of the castle and the "Captains' Palace", the old town's small port, squares and streets filled with shops, bars and picturesque restaurants has a magical charm. Malcesine is one of the most elegant and well-equipped holiday resorts on the lake. The pleasant mild climate all year round permits walks and excursions in the hinterland and on Mount Baldo, which is known as the "Botanical Garden of Europe" due to its huge variety of plant species.
