A few suggestions to get the holiday planning process started
Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Many visitors to Genoa and Liguria spend time exploring the Cinque Terre; five charming fishing villages that have clung to the cliffs of the Italian Riviera for centuries. And this enchanting stretch of seaside is popular for a reason. The sight of brightly-coloured cliffside houses perched above an azure sea makes for an iconic Italian postcard, while lazy drinks on the waterfront are a well-earned reward after walking the picturesque coastal trails or strolling the steep cobbled lanes. The Cinque Terre may be a tourist hotspot, but the villages remain car-free and retain much of their authentic appeal. For cooler temperatures and thinner crowds, plan your Genoa and Liguria holiday for the springtime.
If you’re planning an Italian city break, Genoa is here to tempt you away from the same old spots. While Turin and Milan are often first choice for a long weekend in northern Italy, the port city of Genoa remains under the radar for most travellers. Eclectic and vibrant, it has all the rough-and-ready charm you’d expect from Italy’s largest port, alongside a medieval centre that’s a joy to explore on foot. Combine this with easy access to the Italian Riviera (the coastal jewel in Liguria’s crown) and Genoa and Liguria are perfect for those who want a trip that spans both ancient streets and adorable seaside.
