We booked to go to Riva Del Garda in October with my boyfriend for a week. We'll be staying in Hotel Villa Nicolli. What is the weather usually like in October I've read somewhere that the season finishes the last week of September. Does that mean shops, restaurants, museums & other tourist attractions will be closed? What about public transportations i.e. buses, trains, ferries, etc. will they run on reduce timings? We would like to go on a day trip to Verona & Venice, do we need to book a hotel overnight or is it still possible to do this as a day trip? Is it still possible to see/visit other towns via ferry? Can anybody please tell me if there is a tourist information in Riva Del Garda and whether they'll be open in October? What will be their opening time? Where is it located in Riva Del Garda? Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
