Planning a Trip to Liguria Region

best time to go is during the San Remo music festival

Very romantic village. The sea is perfect, you can take a cheap ship to the island opposite to the city, have a bath and take super photos. The western side of the city has an impressive bicolour dome, and a panorama which inspired Lord Byron. It is suggested the walking to the Cinque Terre, with terrific views through lemon plants. Not to be visited in July-August.

I wouldn't advise this little village. It's really hard to go there by public transport and also very boring. The only good things they offer are the beach and the italian food..

If you visit Italy a must see is Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is five small villages chiseled into the rocky cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. They are Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza Monterosso. It might not surprise you to know the tourist population of this area grows every year, not from advertising but from word-of-mouth as people are so taken by their experience that they want other people to go there. It is a dream destination...

Pretty small town of the Riviera Ligure. Breathtaking views of the sea. Quite expensive but definetely a must-go if you happen to drive by the area.

One of the moust dirtys town in western countries where I have been.

go with the expectation that you will have a very quiet week-end!  x

What to say about one of the largest port cities on the Mediterannean? It's huge, full of traffic jams and especially crowded in the period of the Salone Nautico di Genova, the world's largest nautic fair, featuring more than 2000 boats every year. Otherwise, there's a fantastic aquarium, one of the largest in Europe and the beautiful city center with the shopping areas with all the best italian brands. It's very similar to Milan's via Montenapoleone. Beeing an industrial town, there's not much to see but it's great to visit the Salone Nautico. There's always on display the "Palinuro", the beautiful sailer ship of the Accademia Navale Italiana.
