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
With a passion for both winter and summer sports, Lynsey has worked for Topflight for over 8 years in Austria, France and Italy. During the winter months she is based in the heart of the French Alps and in the summer she swaps her skis for sandals to enjoy all that Lake Garda has to offer. “I couldn’t possibly choose which season I prefer, I’ve skied since I was 5 years old and I can never get enough but there’s something really magical about the summer on Lake Garda. I truly believe there is something here for everyone and that’s part of what makes it so special.”
Marta Stefanska
After completing my degree in Liverpool, I spent a few years gaining experience in hotels in Chester and Cornwall before landing in Livigno to organise custom ski tours in the area. I look forward to working as part of the Topflight Team again this summer and am here to assist you throughout your holiday!
