The city

What to expect from Riva del Garda.

Riva del Garda lies at the northern tip of the lake, where the water narrows between mountains. It was Austrian until 1919, and that shows in the architecture. The Torre Apponale overlooks Piazza III Novembre and the old harbour; next to it, the Rocca di Riva, a waterside fortress, houses the MAG Museo Alto Garda. The baroque church dell'Inviolata, the Bastione viewpoint, the Strada del Ponale carved into the rock, and the Cascata del Varone round out the visit.
