Rent a Car in Riva del Garda Center

With a car, you can easily visit wine regions and mountain villages that would otherwise be difficult to access by public transport.

Riva del Garda is located in the Trentino region at the northernmost tip of Lake Garda, surrounded by steep cliffs and the Rocchetta fortress rising directly from the water. The town is famous for its strong winds — Peler and Ora — making it a paradise for windsurfers, but also for its narrow medieval alleyways around Piazza III Novembre. Drive south along SS249 early in the morning to avoid tourist traffic toward Limone sul Garda (20 km).
