In a nutshell
wait for the tourists to go home, return then
The Civic Museum (Museo Civico)
mikelisaanna Says: Riva del Garda has a very good town museum located in an old palace named "the Rocca" in the center of town. The museum is on multiple foors and features archaological exhibits, exhibits about the town's history, and a good art collection. Give yourself at least an hour to...
Estiqaatsi Says: Riva del Garda and surrounding is certainly one of the most amazing places anyone could hope to explore by bike. The peaks, which rise over 2000m out of the Lake are crossed by superb tracks and trails, providing enjoyment and challenge for all kinds of mountain bikers.We...
Maurizioago Says: From Riva del Garda you can do several boat trips to various villages or towns. There are ferries, hydrofoils and motorised catamarans that opearate all year.For instance you can go to Limone and Malcesine.Limone. Its name comes from the latin word “limen”, which means...
Take a boat to discover villages
oriettaIT Says: Lago di Garda have a good ferries service. There are official boats run by the local sailing company and many tourist boats that can take you all over the place. If you dont have a car to drive around, of if you just want to have a relaxing day away from the narrow curvy...
oriettaIT Says: The easier, cheaper and more relaxing thing to do is just walk along the lake's shore. The municipality keep it up a lot, there are flowers and big old tree and several benches where to sit and enjoy the wonderful view and the company.During the summer there are often free...
oriettaIT Says: The Northern part of the Lake is really very scenic, much better than the bottom. The lake get really narrow, it is surrounded by mountains and the wind come right into it making it the perferct place for those who love windsurfs and parasailing. Unfortunally the day I was...
oriettaIT Says: My good friend Patrizia (VT WXWXR ) suggest me to mention a nice trail to walk. It is the old road for Val di Ledro and worth to take. It starts at the estreme end of Riva, opposite the side from Rovereto, near an old electric power central.There are also many other walking...
painterdave Says: If you arrive from the southern area of Lago da Garda, I suggest that you drive from Riva da Garda into the hills. There are some great views of the village and the lake. If you take the main road out heading to the autostrada you will find a nice turn out where you can park...

Ristorante-pizzeria Trieste.: Pasta, pizza and more!
Maurizioago Says: On their menu you can find a good choice of pizzas and pasta. They also serve various fish dishes.They have some menus at fixed price; including a first and second course, dessert and a drink. Pizza with vegetables.
Birreria Maffei: Brasserie in business sice 1649
oriettaIT Says: When I was planning this weekend I found somewhere a good review about this place. We both like good beer and austrian food so we decided to give it a try.It was a real good advice!!This restaurant was first a brewery since 1649, unfortunally i was too concentrated on my own...
mapakettle Says: There is no doubt in our mind that the best way to travel to Riva is by Sita Bus. We were most impressed by the drivers, the cleanliness and comfort of these buses.The ride is smooth, you sit high enough to see over the growth on the side of the highways, and you may choose...
Helpfulness
When you eat at restaurant, small bread sticks are always available. No matter you eat those or not, those will be added to your check as "service". Actually those are very good, so you should eat sticks =)

Riva del Garda- is it worth it?
jamiema Says: Before my holiday on Lake Garda, I'd heard a lot of hype from friends, brochures and literature, about the northern town of Riva del Garda. Naturally, I decided to take a look around the place, taking the bus from Peschiera in the far south, it being a stormy day and...
oriettaIT Says: The weather at the lake is quite umpredictable. Even during summer, in this upper part of the Lake, storms are frequent, usually they come in the late afternoon. I went in mid June and it was supposed to be hot but I ended up wearing ALL i had in the suitcase!!Better to...
Riva is large enough to find most items...
mapakettle Says: In the case of Riva, either a back pack or rolling luggage would be acceptable. The main section of Riva is well paved so wheels on your suitcase can move freely. We visited in late fall and the weather, although overcast and foggy, was lovely. I'd suggest a weatherproof...
Maurizioago Says: Canale di Tenno is a beautiful medieval village some 10 km from Riva del Garda.Besides exploring the village you can visit a couple of museums there. One of them houses a collection of old agricultural tools. The other; named "Casa degli Artisti" hosts temporary exibitions,...
sandysmith Says: Just 3km from Riva del Garda are the cave and waterfall park of Varone. Only takes about 30minutes to visit but is well worth this short stop and the entrance fee of 5 Euro. We stopped here first on our way to Arco. The lower cave allows the last part of the waterfall to be...
zuzibe Says: One of our best cycling trips in the area of Lago di Garda was Passo Rocchetta. The starting point was Riva del Garda. The first part of the trail went through serpentines above Lago di Garda and all the way we had nice views of the lake. The first point we reached then was...
oriettaIT Says: The northern part of Lago di Garda is well know for the multiple possibilities it offer for the outdoor sports' lovers. The shape of this part of the lake, very narrow and between two lines of mountains, make it windy very often and it is a popular destination for wind...
Maurizioago Says: This is the main square in Riva del Garda. Here you can see the town hall built in the XV century joined to the Palazzo Pretorio (XIV century). Opposite this palace there is the Apponale tower. It was built in 1220 and raised in 1555. It was built to defend the town, used to...

A relaxing and relaxed lake resort
I was thinking about a place where I can spend a weekend, I needed it to be close to where I live, not more than a couple of hours driving and I wished it to be quiet and nice. I remembered that I...
We spent ten happy days here in August 2001 and found the place to be very beautiful, even though a lot of the town had been decked out in carnival paraphernalia for an annual festival that is...
A day tour to the north of the lake
This picture shows how the villages of the mountains were sitting in the sun, kinda dusty, kinda glowing. By each turn of a hairpin bend we saw a different adding to the village. This was a scare...
