Tourist Attractions in Liguria

Liguria is a slender sun-kissed coastline in northwest Italy, where terraced villages perch on dramatic cliffs above sparkling seas. Flanked by the Ligurian Sea, its crown jewels include the Cinque Terre's five coastal towns, the upscale Portofino, and the pastel harbor of Santa Margherita Ligure. Genoa offers a rich maritime history, grand palazzi, and a legendary old town. Food is a highlight: basil–pattered pesto, focaccia, and olive oil graces the trattorie. Outdoor lovers hike along the Sentiero Azzurro, sail or kayak its quiet coves, and explore hidden coves along the Riviera di Levante and Ponente. Colorful markets, olive groves, and sea views enchant visitors year-round.
