Malcesine Travel Forum

Hi, can anyone help me? or give me a useful website? i'm travelling from venice airport to Malcesine by rail. Having difficulty finding any information myself on train routes/times/prices.
would be very grateful

When are you travelling? In Summer there is a bus (runs once a day) direct from Venice to Malcesine.
Last year it was from june 11th to sept 28th (look here: http://www.aptv.it/pdf/Riva-ve.pdf)

If not, the best way is a train along the Venice route Venice - Milan to Verona nearly every hour.
Look here http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/ferrovie/util/inglese.jsp
Type venezia Santa lucia as departure, and verona Porta Nuova as arrival.

the timetable goes only 2 months or so ahed, but just choose a day of the week (e.g. friday) similar to the one you need, and you will have a nice idea of what to expect.

From just outside the porta Nuova Station you will find a bus of the ATV (or with the old brand name APTV) direct to MAlcesine... Once again every hour or so..
This is the timetable (line 62/64)

prices..... the bus around 6 euro, the train depends on class and kind of train (try and buy) but should be around 20.

The Trenitalia site in English is very user-friendly, but won't accept 'Malcensine'. Enter Venezia and Verona Porto Nuova and you will find times/fares. Journey ;length varies from 1 to 2 hours.

sure it does not accept Malcesine.... there is no train line up there!

The closer one is Peschiera, at maybe 50 kms, but Verona makes much more sense coming from venice, because all of the bus lines to the easter shore of the lake starts exactly in front of the station.

That's exactly the sort of information one doesn't know when using rail sites abroad (although I have posted about Malcensine's lack of a station fairly recently), and one then doesn't know the nearest station to search for. That's why I posted what I did, and why your first reply was so helpful.

TY J..... And it's always a pleasure to be of some help... expecially about the places that i know and love so well. I spent so many holydays and sailing days in Malcesinee, that simply remember makes me feel better. I still have friends there (and relatives's holydays houses are there).

But of course, you understand me... You are so helpful in all of the Italian forums...
I see we share more than a passion..... I fell in love with Archeology at age of 9... When my parents made me see the Romun forum.... I cannot forget that visit...!

O.............a fellow archie! How wonderful!

Being able to visit Italy has made my passion for archeology even greater. I would love to be able to dig there, but sadly the cost is prohibitive.

So I shall assuage my passion by seeing as much as I possibly can, whilst eating as much gelati as I can! :-)
