Developing along the border which separates Italy from France, Liguria is characterized by a mountainous and hilly landscape which slopes down to the sea.
The Riviera Ligure, an highly appreciated seaside resort, is one of the most picturesque attractions the region cherishes. Traditionally divided into Riviera Ponente west of Genoa and Riviera Levante situated east, it extends for more than 300 kilometres and cherishes enchanting seaside resorts.

The Cinque Terre, a stretch of rocky coastline whose name refers to five self-contained small resorts, harbours and villages that seem to dramatically cling to the very edge of vertiginous cliffs, are ideal places to combine pleasant seaside holidays with the discovery of ancient traditions.
The region also hosts glamorous resorts, such as Portofino, where tourists can walk down the narrow streeets of the city centre enjoying beautiful boutiques or drinking cocktails in one of the numerous clubs situated in the main square and around the harbour. Portovenere, a charming seaside resort and rich historic city, was appointed UNESCO world heritage together with the Cinque Terre.

Not to be missed is the enchanting regional capital, Genoa, an ancient seafaring republic whose ancient old town is made up of narrow and shady Medieval streets called “carruggi”. Classical and Neoclassical buildings, small squares and churches which mirror the influence of Middle-Eastern cultures are among the main attractions for people who choose to spend a cultural holiday in Liguria.
