Whether it's a weekend visit or a longer holiday, Liguria , like all Italian regions, has a lot to offer, and maybe it's not quite known as it should. Le Cinque Terre and Portofino are known throughout the world, but there are many other places to see both on the sea and in the interior. On this site there are Dozens and dozens of pages dedicated to excursions in Liguria; I report some:
- The Riviera di Levante seen from the sea .
- The beauties of Monesteroli .
- The trails of the Liguria , including, for example:
- Trekking at the Cinque Terre .
- The path from genova nervi a recco .
- from blackboard to Monte Capenardo .
E Many others, look at the General page of the trails to decide which one of a thousand favorites ... and for other ideas you continue to read below :)
Let's start from Genoa , famous for the aquarium, a times rightly criticized because chaotic, but its historic center is fantastic! In addition, the east districts present typical Ligurian houses and splendid sea villas, such as at Boccadasse , which absolutely deserves a visit, and nerves, with his park and his walk.
in the levante Ligurian, near the Cinque Terre there are other beautiful villages to see, like Portovenere, Tellaro, Bonassola . Another pearl of Liguria is Sestri Levante , Note for Fiabesca Bay of Silence .
Even citizens less known to tourism, such as Chiavagine and Chiavari , have beautiful historical centers and if the sea, along the beaches, is certainly not comparable to that of Sardinia, moving towards The cliffs meet crystal clear water that nothing has to envy to other more famous regions.
The promontory of Portofino has a luxuriant nature with beautiful hiking itineraries, the picturesque village of Portofino and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso , in front of whom dive to see the Christ of the abysses . The nearby towns on the sea of Santa Margherita b> and above all Camogli (without neglect Rapallo and San Michele di Pagana) are perfect for a quiet trip to a walk.
The Ligurian Riviera of Ponente is generally more lively, with longer beaches and suitable for a seaside tourism. The imposing cliffs and the coves are missing and the five-tered style fishermen's villages are less frequent, but you can please! As for the cliffs, there is an exception: the beautiful Chapo Noli with the nearby beaches of Noli , Bergeggi (which also has a marine cave and a islet) and Varigotti . Finale Ligure has the beaches on the sea and a very characteristic historic center in the interior (and a tide of climbing walls around, famous all over the world).
albenga has a beautiful historic center, as well as alassio , which is lucky enough to have the houses of the village right on the long beach ... really beautiful! These two towns are practically attached, to see together in a day trip or more calmly in a weekend.
deer and the largest Imperia are two more The sea with spectacular historical villages.
However, the interior of Liguria should not be overlooked. In Ponente, at least the countries of Dolceacqua, Apricale and Triora deserve a trip, but there are many characteristic bourgeies scattered around the region. And then, Liguria is also a mountain land, not just sea! The maritime Alps are spectacular, with imperious peaks that also have the sea view. Lower, but always beautiful, the Apennines, especially in the area of Santo Stefano d'Aveto, where they reach the 1800 meters of altitude.
Sports activities to do in Liguria are numerous, from the sea to the mountains ... and the same applies to those not sporting, since you can simply relax At the beach, make an aperitif in front of the sunset over the sea or eat in a refuge on the snow. On this site there is an infinite number of suggestions on destinations to be seen in Liguria, and also on how to see them: on foot, kayaks, by boat, etc.
First of all, you can find this page a long list of Liguria trails , with all the itineraries then described in Dedicated Pages: Liguria excursions . In particular, we describe you by thread and by sign the coastal path from Genoa to Tuscany. An experience to do, with everything calm, in so many stages, certainly not in the same trip, but maybe in several weekends or several holidays. On the Riviera di Ponente we recommend the spectacular Path from Varigotti to Noli .
The same Ligurian coast, but seen from a kayak (or even from a stand up paddle), is described Here: Liguria in canoe .
Finally, Liguria has also been part of our Sailing itinerary along the Italian coasts So you can see some beautiful image of the coast as well as this page.
In Liguria you can also walk between the mountains and, in winter, as well as skiing and sniping, especially in the Apennine around Santo Stefano d'Aveto or with more snow in Ponente, in the Alps. The maritime Alps are impressive mountains with sublime views: on the same walk, you can admire panoramas on the sea and then on the Po Valley plain and most of the Alpine arch.
There are many other ways to see Liguria, from moving with public transport from one town to another and Admire historic centers and walks to the sea, doing a bathroom, for bike excursions. So don't hold yourself!
when to go and move to Liguria? The answer to these questions is linked to what you want to do and see. All the countries of the coast are very well connected by trains. For example, you can walk from one country to another and then return to the starting point thanks to the railway, or you can easily visit more countries and more beaches in a day, moving precisely by train.
The car is generally generally Much more comfortable for the interior and mountains, which are generally a secondary destination.

In general, there are much lower prices if you have the car to go to stay even ten minutes from the coast. The same applies to the trattorias: those inland will fill you with ravioli and pansoti without spending a fortune ... indeed.
Every season is good to see Liguria. In summer, better oport for shorter sea hiking itineraries, and then cool off with a nice bathroom ... or alternatively you can take a walk on the mountains. Or simply throw himself into the sea, on the beach, by canoe. Spring, autumn and winter are full of fantastic days to walk and, indeed, they often offer very clear skies. On the coast, with the sun, you are always good, the plants are evergreen and February-March everything flowers.
For skiing and sniping, winter is the right season, even if lately the snow falls more at the end of the season, when Almost spring ... but you can never really predict!
