2025 Riva del Garda Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

This is Lake Riva del Garda in Trentino, Italy😊 It's such a huge lake that you could almost mistake it for the sea, but the water was clean and not salty at all~~💕 It's close to Austria and it was vacation season, so there were a lot of people traveling from Germany~! When you take the train, the mountains are so pretty and the water is so clean that you can swim, so it's a beautiful resort that you can enjoy in about 2 nights and 3 days☺️ #summerisummer #trentino #vacation #amazinglake #amazingheat

I came to Riva del Garda, an Italian resort not well known to Koreans~!☺️ First, I hurriedly found a place to stay for a day, but the bus ride was so rough(?) that I got tired quicklyㅠㅠ However, the moment I arrived at the place! The cool air conditioning and the view of the mountains in front were such a great gift to me who was suffering from the heat, so I felt great all day~!☺️💕 The terrace in front is wide, so I recommend it for couples or couples~💕 I want to stay here longer, but the next reservation was full, so I only made a reservation for one day🥲It's a shame #Cherry tastes best when you eat it lying down #I can't be bothered to go out #Ho-cation

Lake Garda is huge and full of many vistas but at its northernmost point near the town of Riva del Garda may provide the best. Walking away from the town towards Torbole you can pass right along the side of the lake with dedicated walking and cycle paths as you walk alongside the beach and beautifully manicured gardens whilst watching sailing boats in the distance. If you’re feeling hungry or in need of coffee there are a number of beach bars to stop off at along the way.

Rifugio are famous amongst many of the alpine trails of Northern Italy as a place to stop, relax and get a hearty meal after a long strenuous hike. Rifuigio Capanna Grassi located just over 1000m above sea level is not exception to this after taking the long and often steep in parts hike from either Lake Garda or Lake Tenno you are greater by both warm hospitality and an alpine meadow. Be sure to get the Canerdelli, a local Trentino speciality. #alps #italy

Riva Del Garda, located at the Northern tip of Lake Garda is often less visited than towns on the southern side due to it being less accessible from the likes of Verona and Milan. However taking the time to travel through the lakes winding roads and tunnels, is well worth your time. Nestled by towering mountains on three sides the town not only provides a wide amount of water sports from kayaking to windsurfing along the lake but also has plenty of attractions itself from its informative castle museum to the ruins of a Roman theatre. #garda

A new attraction at the North end of Italy’s lake Garda is a glass elevator with a difference. Straddling the side of Monte Rochetta the ascent provides a dramatic view of both the glistening lake and the surrounding towering mountains. Once you reach the top at around 250m you have several options. Those looking for a more relaxing experience can grab a coffee at the cafe and just take in the views. Whereas those with adventure in mind can continue by taking the steep hike up to the Santa Barbara church or travel even further by the Via Ferrata (make sure you have the correct equipment) #mountain -#lakegarda
