Arco, the charming town north of Lake Garda, is our personal favorite. Nestled between olive groves and cliffs, this place is full of light, tranquility, and possibilities.
Once the Habsburgs' winter residence, today a place for explorers. Poets like Rilke loved Arco, and Albrecht Dürer captured the Castle of Arco in a famous painting. The old town with its alleys, cafés, and olive groves feels Mediterranean, vibrant, and is surrounded by powerful mountains.
Goethe called this region the gateway to the South. Today, Arco is where Alpine freshness meets Italian joie de vivre. Cafés, weekly markets, flea markets. And during the Garda Jazz Festival, summer echoes from speakers hanging in olive trees.
You want to go hiking? Try the Rilke promenade or the Rifugio San Pietro with its view of Lake Tenno. Looking for mountain bike trails? Arco offers routes for every level. Or try climbing right behind the guesthouse. Even beginners find their way here. Each year, professionals from around the world gather for the Rock Master Festival.
