Well : it depends on what you like: Malcesine is smaller and more true, while Limone has more shops and tourism. From Malcesine go to Torbole and Riva del Garda: both, though different, nice places. Go to Arco as well and have dinner at La Lega!

The main difference in the scenery is really north to south. The scenery in the north is more spectacular because of the mountains, the central area is hilly and the south is flat. The lake is very narrow at the northern end and wider at the south.
One of the most beautiful, most famous, and most visited towns of Lake Garda is certainly Limone del Garda, on the Brescian coast, 35km from the town of Salò and 9.5km from Riva del Garda, built along the 45 bis Western Gardesana Highway.
Generally I would say that Riva has a much larger lakeside area than Limone, with a lakeside path from the centre right around to Torbole. The lakeside promenade in Limone is quite small in comparison. Riva is also more central for getting around the northern part of the lake.
MalcesineMalcesine, the pearl of Lake Garda, is located in a very picturesque setting. It's definitely one of the most beautiful towns of Lake Garda! It's a charming old town with narrow medieval streets, a beautiful harbor, and lots of small shops, stores and cafes inviting visitors to stroll around and explore.
As compared to Lake Como, Lake Garda is less refined, but in a mystifying and wild way that makes you feel like automatically relaxed amongst the hues of greens, blues and wooden accents. Even the towns and villages sprinkling the shoreline are far more subtle and more traditionally Italian than Lake Como.
Lake Garda's beaches clearly get busy in summer, so if you want to avoid the crowds, stick to the western shore or go as far north as you can. Makio beach near Salo is usually a less crowded option.
SIRMIONE. Sirmione is one of the most popular places for tourists. It sits on a peninsula jutting out into the lake on the southern shore. If staying in Sirmione, you have some of the best-known sights in Lake Garda around the corner.
