Malcesine Travel Forum

hi, we are visiting malcesine in mid october and would love to do a day trip to venice, is this possible within a reasonable time frame? ..has anyone done this.. and are there any coach companies there that do this? can anyone recommend any other trips..any info and recommendations about malcesine would be most welcome.thank you, milly.

Train takes 5+ hours (from Como Nord Borghi) so it's not really a feasible option for an independent daytrip.

www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html will give you train routes/times/fares in english.

You might be lucky and find a local firm which runs day trips from Como (or elsewhere).

The towns and villages around Lago di Garda are full of advertisements by local bus companies offering day trips by coach to Venice, Verona and other destinations. Keep your eyes open when you get there. You could also visit the local tourist office on your first day there, they will for sure be able to help.
You will spend long hours on the bus, more than you'll actually have in Venice, and it will be some kind of tacky tourist rat race, but if you really really want to go in spite of all that, you'll find options.
