A pretty resort at the north-west tip of the lake, Riva del Garda is a busy town retaining all of its old world charm and is a haven for water sports enthusiasts.
The old town with its 12th Century fortress features a maze of winding, cobbled lanes leading to a lovely harbour. The promenade is lined with colourful pizzerias and ice cream parlours, and there are lots of inviting shops and pavement cafés.
Thanks to the fresh breeze that blows through the area, Riva is also one of the top sites for watersports in Europe. Whether you are interested in surfing, sailing, jet-skiing, fishing or any other water-based activity, we have got an action-packed holiday for you!
For more cultural pursuits, check out the civic museum which showcases paintings and other exhibits by local and international artists, or head up the hillside to Bastione, a 16th Century tower which is now home to a museum and restaurant with panoramic views.
After a day of sightseeing or just soaking up the views, there is a great choice of lakeside bars and traditional restaurants where you can be sure of a relaxing evening with delicious food and fantastic local wines.

Lynsey Mackay
My name is Lynsey, and I have been working for Topflight over 6-years in Austria, Italy and France. During the summer months you can find me on Lake Garda enjoying watersports, the sunshine and sampling the best of the local cuisine. In winter, I swap my sandals for skis and am happily based in the heart of the French Alps. I have a huge passion for skiing and snowboarding - having learned how to ski when I was 5 years old in Westendorf - and have skied in various resorts across France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland and even at home in Scotland. We have excellent teams in resort to ensure that you make the very most of your well-earned holiday, so please come to us if you have any questions.
