Just 40 km separate Riva del Garda from Trento, over vineyards and small lakes, including the enchanting Toblino. Riva del Garda is one of the best known towns on the lake Garda and boasts an exquisite setting between Mount Brione and Mount Rocchetta on the northern shore. A guided walking tour in the old town centre takes in its picturesque side street, medieval town gates and the charming harbor. Then a small cruise on the lake and you reach Limone on the west side of the lake characterized by a historic district with old houses, narrow alleys and marinas framed by a lush vegetation. We will then continue towards Malcesine which is located on the opposite shore. Clustered around the towering Scaligero Castle and the historic Palazzo dei Capitani, it has kept intact its old medieval origins. Return to Trento in the afternoon.
Participation fee €50 per person; included in the fee: transport, tour guide, and boat ride.
