Liguria Offers Unforgettable Scenery

Crystal-clear sea, charming villages, and a land where nature and history come together to create a truly unforgettable vacation. From Genoa to the Cinque Terre, from the coast to the hinterland, there’s a wide variety of activities to enjoy.

GENOA

Nicknamed “La Superba”, Genoa is a true treasure chest of history, art, and culture facing the sea. Its historic center — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is a fascinating labyrinth of narrow alleys, noble palaces, and unexpected views. The Old Port, the Aquarium (one of the largest in Europe), and the wide range of museums make Genoa a must-see destination that never fails to amaze and inspire.

THE RIVIERA

Portofino, Camogli, San Fruttuoso, and Sestri Levante are just a few of the many charming villages of the Ligurian Riviera, nestled between the blue of the sea and the green of the Mediterranean scrub. In these timeless places, you can still breathe the authentic atmosphere of old maritime traditions. The coast is also easily accessible by sea, thanks to the many daily ferry services — a perfect way to enjoy breathtaking views.

THE CINQUE TERRE

Five picturesque villages perched on cliffs above the sea, world-famous for their beauty and authenticity: Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore make up the iconic Cinque Terre, one of Liguria’s most beloved destinations. A network of scenic trails connects the villages, offering hikes for all skill levels and allowing everyone to experience the unspoiled nature of the region. Don’t miss the boat excursions organized by local operators — a magical way to admire the coastline from a unique perspective.

LIGURIAN HINTERLAND

One of Liguria’s greatest wonders is its incredible variety: in less than an hour, you can go from a swim in the sea to exploring mountain trails over 1000 meters high. The hinterland is a world waiting to be discovered — full of ancient paths, hiking routes, mountain biking trails, and horseback itineraries along the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri. A web of roads and landscapes connecting villages, traditions, fragrances, and flavors of an authentic, lesser-known Liguria that’s rich in charm.

Ligurian Flavors at the Table

With both sea and mountains, Liguria offers a cuisine full of contrasts and aromas that will win over any palate. From simple country dishes like torta pasqualina and farinata, to seafood specialties like octopus salad, stuffed anchovies, or cappon magro, every dish tells the story of a unique land. Don’t miss the famous pesto alla genovese — the region’s signature — or the focaccia, perfect fresh from the oven or enjoyed by the sea. The Ligurian menu surprises with a wide range of dishes — from starters to desserts — that blend simple, genuine ingredients with bold and unmistakable flavors, all best savored with a glass of Bianchetta or Vermentino wine.

Sea, Relaxation... and So Much More

The Ligurian Riviera offers both free beaches and well-equipped resorts to satisfy those seeking relaxation and carefree living. For those looking for a more active seaside experience, there’s no shortage of options: rental centers offer windsurfing, jet skis, and various boats (with or without a skipper) — ideal for exploring the coast from a different angle. Diving enthusiasts will find a hidden gem in Liguria: places like the Portofino Marine Protected Area offer unforgettable experiences with diverse marine life, sunken wrecks, and — with a bit of luck — even dolphins or other large sea creatures.
