About Malcesine

Lazise is a quaint medieval town on the eastern shore of Lake Garda. The town’s history can be traced back to the 10th century when it was part of the Sacred Roman Empire. During the 13th and 14th centuries Lazise was ruled by the Scaligero family from Verona, who built the beautiful castle and established Lazise as a major port on Lake Garda.

Nowadays, Lazise is a popular destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and rich history. Discover the traffic-free old town with its winding streets, arcaded custom house and ancient city walls with many towers and gatehouses that once protected the town from invaders. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque lakefront and admire the stunning views of the lake and surrounding hills.
