Resort Information
The pretty town of Riva del Garda is a busy resort that demonstrates its historic past with a 12th Century fortress flanked by moats and town walls dating from Roman times. Due to its position at the northernmost point of the lake and the subsequently reliable winds, Riva is a leading watersports resort and is one of the venues on the windsurfing World Cup circuit. Despite the fact that it has become the most popular holiday venue on Lake Garda the town still retains much of its old world charm, with plenty of bars and traditional pavement cafés for relaxation.
Our Opinion
· Located on the northern tip of the lake, Riva is one of the lake's leading resorts · The bustling nightlife is centred on Riva's main harbour square · The flat, lakeside walk to Torbole takes in some breathtaking scenery

· bars · cafés · restaurants · shops · cinema (in Italian) · bank · post office · doctor · pharmacy
Getting About
Tucked away at the northern tip of the lake, Riva is linked to other lake resorts by the efficient system of lake ferries and hydrofoils or hire bikes and cycle to the other resorts of Torbole and Arco. A regular bus service also serves the town.
Hikers
The walks around Riva vary from undulating paths to more strenuous mountain trails. On the way are interesting features such as the archeological area of San Giovanni-La-Pinza, the shrine of Santa Barbara, and Rocca d'Enzima, with its First World War military fortifications.
