Riva del Garda, A Lakeside Town of History and Culture
Fondly referred to as Riva, Riva del Garda, Italy is both a town and comune belonging to the Trento province, just at the north of Lake Garda. The city was once a part of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, the Republic of Venice, and the Bishopric of Trent. Later on, it became an Austro-Hungarian empire territory before it was ruled under the Kingdom of Italy. Riva del Garda's primary economy revolves around paper manufacturing and tourism, making the town an excellent hotspot of friendly hotels and accommodations.
Best Time to Visit
The town is typically packed in June to August thanks to the warm temperatures and the bustling festivities, such as summer musical performances and the annual Garda Jazz Festival. The majority of Riva del Garda, Italy hotels are typically fully booked during this season so better plan your stay ahead.
What to Do & Area Attractions
Riva del Garda is dotted with a handful of historical and cultural attractions, some of which are the Torre Apponale, the parochial Church of Maria Assunta, and the Rocca fortress. Torre Apponale, dating back to the 1200s, was once a part of the first fortress of the town, which was destroyed long ago. The two other attractions are relatively newer, having built in the 1700s. Complete your stay in the city at the luxurious suites Du Lac Et Parc Grand Resort, Grand Hotel Liberty, and Hotel Sole Relax & Panorama, all of which will reward you with a scenic view of the Lake Garda.
