Riva del Garda

Surrounded by imposing mountains, Riva del Garda stretches along the crescent-shaped shore, extending to the Sarca plain and to the foothills of Mount Brione, which separates it from Torbole sul Garda. In this Mediterranean oasis where olive trees and palms thrive, tourists can enjoy a delightful holiday with much to offer: history, art, sports and nature, as well as hospitality and first class hotels.

Riva del Garda was already a popular tourist spot at the end of the last century. Some of its famous guests were Nietzsche (who stayed at Hotel Du Lac), the Hartungen family, the Mann brothers, the Brods, Kafka and Lawrence. Over 10,000 foreigners visited Riva del Garda in 1901; more than 37,600 tourists, mostly from Austria and Germany, arrived in the town five years later.

This growth gradually continued until World War I, which left its mark on the small town. After it became a part of Italy, Riva on lake Garda developed its tourism industry and improved its sports, business and cultural facilities. Today Riva is one of the leading tourist spots of Lake Garda.
