Riva del Garda is also known as “the pearl of Lake Garda”. Particularly characteristic of the place are the lemon and olive trees, the laurel bushes and the palm trees that adorn the place. Riva del Garda forms the transition to the southern part of Lake Garda. The majestic Brenta Group, which is particularly suitable for climbing enthusiasts, also begins there.
With its bays and ports, the town of Riva del Garda is also one of the most famous meeting points for windsurfers and sailors: the north wind Pelèr in the morning and the south wind Ora in the afternoon bring surfers the best wind conditions almost every day at the same time.
The architectural styles of the “Palazzi” in the historic center date back to the Venetian rule. The city castle “Rocca di Riva” from the year 1124 is completely surrounded by water and today houses the municipal museum and the “Pinacoteca”.
