Riva del Garda

Riva del Garda lies along the northern shore of Lake Garda, where steep limestone slopes rise directly from the water of Italy’s largest lake. At the lake’s northern end, the town occupies a narrow opening between the mountains, giving its waterfront an unusually Alpine character. In the historic centre, the medieval Torre Apponale overlooks Piazza III Novembre, while the Rocca, a moated fortress beside the harbour, recalls the strategic importance of this shore. The Venetian Bastion stands high on Monte Rocchetta above town. Lake Garda’s reliable winds draw sailors and windsurfers, and paths climb from the lakeside towards the surrounding slopes.
