One of the loveliest areas along the upper eastern shore of Lake Garda, Malcesine is principally known as a summer resort with sailing and windsurfing schools. It tends to be crowded in season, but there are nice walks from the town toward the mountains. Dominating the town is the 12th-century Castello Scaligero, built by Verona's dynastic Della Scala family.
