Verona and Lake Garda

Posted by (Poconos) on

Hey everybody. I've been planning my first few days in Italy and decided to use Verona as my base and do side trips to Venice and Lake Garda (Malcesine, was recommended a nice B&B there). I've got all the routes and schedules worked out except for one snag. I found that a Bus fills in the train gap from Peschiera del Garda train station to Malcesine, but I can't make heads or tails of the schedule. Has anyone stayed in this area before, or has familiarity with how to get around, point me in the right direction for a bus schedule I can read? Thanks alot, much appreciated. Also, feel free to chime in with any advice, this is just my rough idea for the area, so if anyone has a better idea, I'd be happy to hear it. Now would be a good time to say that this has been the most helpful forum I have found on the net, with lots of great people and information, so thanks everybody! Chad

Here is the schedule: http://tech.atv.verona.it/atv_www/orari_extraurb/pdf/62-64.pdf
It's pretty clear to me. Buses leave from Verona Porta Nuova, you can see it also stops at Peschiera FS, so you can take the train or just hop on the bus in Verona. Just get one that goes all the way to Malcesine. (gior.) means daily. (fer.) means Monday to Friday (& maybe Saturday). (SCO) means school days only.

Thanks, I saw that website, just don't ever travel on buses so was confused on how to read it. So If im reading it correctly the latest bus leaves Peschiera train station at 7:30 and arrives in Malcesine at 8:42?
Im actually just thinking of staying in Malcesine now since apparently there is some big international wine trade show in Verona on the dates I will be there which has swallowed up most of the accommodations in the city, at least according to the searches I have been doing for the last few hours. So just wanted to make sure I knew when I had to be back to Peschiera from a day trip to Venice so I could catch the last bus to Malcesine. Thanks again
