The Italian Riviera, a dreamy crescent of coastline in Liguria, stretches from the French border to Tuscany. This region is characterized by terraced hillsides and colorful harbor hamlets, with the often-overlooked city of Genoa serving as a central anchor. The main highlight is the Cinque Terre, flanked by the glamorous Portofino and Porto Venere. Visitors can also explore the splendors of Genoa or find quieter retreats in resort towns like Sestri Levante, Santa Margherita Ligure, and Camogli. Each destination offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural charm.
