The unmissable attractions in Riva del Garda

Between culture, lifestyle, food and wine

It’s not surprising that Lake Garda is one of the most popular holiday destinations: its cultural, landscape and food and wine heritage is a perfect reason to choose your most precious time of the year on its shores.

Museums

A short distance away, the renowned Mart (Museum of modern and contemporary art) in Rovereto and the MUSE in Trento. Are definitely worth a visit.
