Mooch round the historic centre, where medieval towers and narrow cobblestone streets lead to charming cafés and boutique shops. Here you’ll also find a scattering of bars and vibrant night-time atmosphere.

If you’re seeking thrills, try a variety of water sports on the lake, from windsurfing and sailing to paddle boarding and kayaking. For a less strenuous aquatic adventure, head to the a beach for a day spent sunbathing and swimming, or take a scenic drive to the nearby Ledro Valley for views of the surrounding mountains and sparkling waters. 

History buffs can visit Rocca di Riva, a medieval fortress overlooking the town, and the MAG Museum, which showcases the region’s rich history and culture. Don’t miss the opportunity to sample local cuisine at the traditional trattorias, featuring fresh dishes and regional specialties. Expect risottos, pizzas, polenta, and pasta with fresh sardines – Riva del Garda is a gastronomic delight on the shores of Lake Garda.
