With the jagged peaks of the Italian Alps in the background and the clear waters of Lake Garda spread before it, Riva del Garda is the kind of place you've likely seen on the covers of travel magazines—so come ready for an adventure built on hiking, water-sports and sightseeing.

Riva del Garda holidays are also steeped in history, as the area is packed with ruins, castles and palaces well worth checking out.

Things to Do in Riva del Garda

Kick off your trip with a visit to the Chiesa dell'Inviolata (one of the finest Baroque churches in Italy) and the Alto Garda Museum, housed in a 12th-century medieval fortress and sitting right on the shore of the lake. Stop by Piazza Tre Novembre to admire the 14th-century Pretorio Palace and do some people-watching as you sip a cappuccino. From there, you can spot the ruins of a 16th-century bastion that overlook the town from a nearby hill.

Riva del Garda holiday packages usually include a tour of the 11th-century city gates and the 13th-century Torre Apponale, which at 34-m high towers over the Piazza Tre Novembre. Want to see the sights at your own pace? Pick up one of our Ria del Garda car hire deals and head for the slew of outlying natural attractions are just kilometres away. They include Tenno Lake and the Varone Falls, where water drops down over 100-m through a rocky chasm.
