Out of all the places we traveled in Italy this time along, this is my favorite! Riva del Garda is fantastically beautiful, gives you a lot of options in regards to activities and has some really nice restaurants if you know where to go. One of them, called "Sud", has the beat pizza I've ever had... Gosh, my mouth waters just thinking about it haha.
A good rule of thumb when looking for a place to eat in this city is not to go to the places where the hosts are all over you, trying to get you to eat at their restaurants, instead go to the places that don't need that sort of thing, and are packed anyway - that's where you'll find the really good stuff :).
Also, if you're a person who loves trekking, this is a great place to go. This is shot from a trek up a "hill" (much more than a hill, this is at the foot of the Alps after all) in the middle of the city, which starts right by the hotel we stayed at. So, there are plenty of walks that provide great photo opportunists, as well as some good old exercise :)

VAST vantage point, must make you feel a little like God and the inclusion of the canoes up front gives a great sense of scale.
ReplyDeleteWow it looks so empty. You were probably not there in summer? You made it look very inviting for those who love the great outdoors.
ReplyDeleteWe were there in July, but we were up before breakfast so that's why the lake is so empty haha :)
