Details
Join us in this boat trip to Limone and Malcesine! This 6-hour trip is perfect if you want to discover Italy's biggest lake. We will start in the north of the lake navigating 30 minutes along the coast, where you can admire the mountains and landscape that rises above the lake. We will make a stop for 2 hours in the town of Limone, a picturesque town east of the lake, known for its lemon groves. Here, you will be able to visit the town's harbour, take a walk on its narrow and steep streets or enjoy a glass of wine on a terrace looking out the breathtaking views of the lake.
Then, it will take us 20 minutes until we reach the medieval town of Malcesine. For another two hours, you can visit the old town centre, where charming houses and narrow streets out into the countryside surrounding the town. You can also relax on the beaches even take a swim on the lake, or walk the shore path to soak up the sun.
During your visit to Malcesine, you can not miss the Scaligero Castle. Located at the very top of a cliff, it is a 13th-century fortification built with white natural stone. Nowadays, it is home to a museum of natural history. The incredible views of the lake from the fortress walls make this castle one of the most prominent landmarks. After two hours, we will go back on a 40-minute cruise to Riva del Garda, passing through the town of Villabella and Torbole.
