Riva del Garda Travel Guide

The town is stretched along the harbour, expanding out with small winding streets up in to the mountains. It is a popular spot for cyclists with a range of different routes available as well as windsurfers and sailors alike, with the best wind conditions on Lake Garda found at the north of the Lake
