Italy Trentino-South Tyrol

Riva del Garda

A charming Italian town nestled between towering mountains and a crystal-clear lake, known for windsurfing, medieval architecture, and scenic beauty.

Tips from the community

A-list vibes run strong in Riva del Garda. Look left and right – are you sharing a cappuccino spot with George Clooney, perhaps? Packed with palazzos dating to the Venetian Republic and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it’s a grand duke of a town. Start by wandering through the quays around the 12th-century Rocca bastide. Then, make for Piazza III Novembre, where beer bars showcase the Germanic influence of the Trentino Alto Adige. Just down from that is the taste-bud-tingling Pizzeria Sud, where you’ll munch on bufalina pizzas made in the Neapolitan style. Overhead, you can hike to the Bastione for sweeping views of the north of Lake Garda.
