Hotel Du Lac Et Du Parc

Make sure you pack your sense of adventure for a holiday in Riva del Garda. This is Lake Garda’s most northern town and there’s mountains all around for thrilling cycling and walking routes. When you need to slow things down a bit you can stroll along the lake promenade or take a seat in the historic piazza. It’s pedestrianised and has a slight Austrian feel – you’ll find apple strudel and schnitzel on the menu in some cafés. The old town is lovely to walk around – think cobbled streets and flower-filled terraces. There’s lots of bars, shops and restaurants so it has an energetic atmosphere during the summer. 

What to see on a Riva holiday

Some of the best hiking and cycling trails start from Riva – Strada del Ponale is our favourite and you’ll get a bird’s eye view of the town and lake. For a more unique viewpoint, try some mountain climbing. Riva’s probably best known for its water sports and it’s not uncommon to see windsurfing competitions taking place throughout the summer. You can try it yourself while you’re there as well as sailing and scuba diving. We love the beaches here too. Large white pebbles spill into the clear lake and it’s almost impossible to resist a dip.

Milan is one of the most stunning cities in Italy and has transformed what comes to mind when we think of the industrial landscape.
