A fabulous location with fantastic views in all directions.Lots of see, inside and out. Several interesting exhibitions including a natural history museum of the lake, and exhibitions about the Venetians attempted conquest of the lake, types of boats on the lake and Goethe. If you are there in the summer, you are likely to see a wedding, as it is... More

There are many staircases and fabulous views of Garda, but large part of the castle is not that ancient.... There is small museum in the castle area about Garda geology, history, flora and fauna. Highly recommended!

We traveled for a friends wedding and what a stunning setting to hold it. It was a climb, but the walk up the cobbled old Italian streets through such an old historic town made the trip interesting.

It is quite breath-taking to stand in the tower and see the smaller boats, sailing boat or ferries crossing the lake or docking in Malcesine. There is the museum of natural history and Goethe hall with interesting material. And I believe you can often... More

The castle was stunning and a perfect setting for a wedding. We took some great photos with beautiful backdrops. The view from the top over the lake is fantastic. We went on a very across the lake and the view of the castle was like something out of a fairytale

Worth a visit and if you can manage the wooden steps to the top of the tower you will be rewarded with the most fantastic views both of the town and the lake.
