Malcesine Travel Forum

Hi all...flying into Milan in a few weeks and renting a car...what is the best route to drive from Linate Airport to Malcesine? How long will it approx take and are the roads mostly motorway? Many thanks :-)

Can't make head nor tail of bus timetable as it wont translate from Italian into English. I'm returning from a day out in Venice and alighting at Peshiera rail station either 8pm or 10pm depending on last bus (62 or 64 I think) back to Malcesine. Any ideas anyone of time of last bus please?

Hi, Picked up several good tips already on how to navigate from Melcesine to Venice. What I'm unsure about is how long each leg of the journey will take.
(1) Melcesine to Peshiera del Garda by 62/64 bus. I plan to connect with the 10.13 train to Venice Mestre(assuming I cannot go direct to Venice Santa Lucia).
How long will the bus take to leave enough time to connect with the l0.13 train?

(2)When I arrive at Venice Mestre how long by local train to Santa Lucia Station?

(3)Public water taxi from Santa Lucia to St Marks Square. Quickest option no.82, how long does this take?

Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

I am planning a trip to Venice in June. I am hoping to travel from Rome to Malcesine via train, to spend the day in Malcesine and then travel to Venice. Ideally I would like to travel by train, but I have heard there is no railway in Malcesine. What would be the easiest way to travel from Rome to Malcesine? And also, from Malcesine to Venice?

Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

We are looking to travel to lake garda by train next summer and are looking to see if we can get to malcesine using a local railway line from verona or desenzano.we would also like to get there by rail without going via milan, is this possible?

The Malcesine Touist Shuttle Bus that costs €1 per journey 8am-2pm & 5pm-midnight, where does this service run to and from?
I.E Does it stop at most hotels and run to the ferry port?
Thank you

Hello. May I have 2 questions, related to traveling from Peschiera to Malcesine?
1.) Please advise from what place in Peschiera is going bus 62-64? I have located Bus schedule and there is mentioned Bus Stop Peschiera - Stazione F.S. Does it means railway station? I am coming from Milano by rail.
2.) How much is the bus ticket from Peschiera to Malcesine (cca)? Where can I buy this ticket?
Many thanks. Marco

What is the best way to get from Milan to Malcesine in September, prefeably by train.

I'm traveling to Malcesine next Monday and I plan to get the train from Mestre to Verona and then the bus.

Quick question about tickets, would any of you advice booking them before we leave? I see i can book them online and get ticketless, but you can never be too sure we'll get to the station on time and then have to change the tickets anyway.

Is there a fare you can buy online that means you can travel at any time on the train that day for example?

Any advice would be appreciated thank you,

We arrive at 17:00 on thueday the 1. of july in Verona (airport) . Can we go by bus from there to Malcesine? and when? If not: how else? Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
I am flying with my husband into Bergamo airport on Fri 30 May to stay in Malcesine for a week. As I am pregnant we can't face doing the journey by public transport, are not keen on driving ourselves and are blanching at the cost of a taxi - cheapest quote I've had is 145 E each way (not too bad compared to some others!).
We would be interested in sharing the cost of a taxi transfer if anyone is travelling on the same date/s to a similar destination? Our flight arrives in Bergamo 1500h.
Thanks

Hello,

My family is considering going to Venice during the third week of October and would like to add a side trip to Lake Garda. We are wondering if there are activities to interest our children (ages 11 & 13) that time of year. Is it possible to rent a sailboat? How difficult is the hiking? Which city would you recommend staying in? I am looking at both Bardolino and Malcesine. I would appreciate any input.
