Genoa and the Italian Riviera
Genoa and the Italian Riviera Travel Guide
The region of Liguria (known to pleasure-seekers as the Italian Riviera) has northern Italy's most attractive stretch of coastline. Though there are some good beaches, the main appeal is the beauty of the seaside cliffs and coves, and of the small towns interspersed among them. The most celebrated is tiny but glamorous Portofino, though these days it gets competition from the even tinier villages of the Cinque Terre, famous for the hiking paths that run between them. Smack in the middle of the coast is Genoa, Italy's busiest port. It holds the region's main cultural attractions, intermixed with some port-city grit.
