The famous operas at Verona Arena begin in June, but there are a number of concerts in May to choose from, such as a Disney concert or Peter Gabriel. We’d recommend checking out the arena’s official website for information on concerts and tickets.

You can get the cable car up to the top of Monte Baldo from Malcesine, and at the top, you will be greeted with marvelous views of Lake Garda. There’s also a number of bars at the top so you can enjoy the view with a drink and a bite to eat!
Watch Some Sailing On The Lake
The Europa Cup takes place from the 4th of May – the 7th of May and can be quite a spectacle to watch amidst the mountainous views of northern Lake Garda.
The event is based in Riva del Garda, and we would recommend heading there to get the best views of the boats.
