Liguria & the Italian Riviera towns offer some of the best of the coasts and mountains all in one small region. Whether strolling the historic streets of Genoa, hiking in the coastal hills with their breathtaking views, exploring lesser-known mountain villages, or simply lazing on any of a number of perfect beaches along the Mediterranean Sea, Liguria has something special to offer every traveler!
History comes alive in Genoa, what was once one of the strongest maritime republics of the 13th century.
Not just a city of the past, Genoa has become a modern seaside metropolis, housing the largest aquarium in Europe, a Biosphere with a botanical garden and a giant crane that will lift you over 120 feet in the air.
Be captivated by the Italian Riviera towns, with their extravagant architecture, and famed music and flower festivals.
Charming villages dot the hills and coast west of Genoa, where you’ll find baroque gems, international artist colonies and stunning beaches without some of the crowds further east.
Hike or ride a bike through the gorgeous Portofino promontory & find yourself in the splendid town right at the tip of the coastline.
The hills of the Italian Riviera offer the possibility of skiing, while the waters are excellent for kayaking and snorkeling.
Wander the famed cobble streets of the Cinque Terre, hiking or taking the train between villages.
Why not try some of Liguria’s special white wines as you traverse the hills?
Delight in the towns on the evocative “Bay of Poets”, with their enchanting multi-colored waterfront homes, as well as numerous walking trails leading to stunning viewpoints.
The islands off the coast of Liguria beckon to those looking for an immersion in nature.
