Things to do and see in Liguria

Liguria is a beautiful region full of things to see and food to try, so we highly recommend making a holiday out of the trip if you can!

Here are some of our recommendations of things to see and do:

  • Sestri Levante (town + Baia del Silenzio + beaches)

  • Chiavari (beaches)

  • Riva Trigoso (beach)

  • Cinque Terre (hikes, boat trips, beaches)

  • Genova (aquarium, old town, port, Boccadasse)

  • Camogli/San Fruttuoso (boat trip to beautiful secluded beach, hike)

  • Santa Margherita/Portofino (boat trip or hike to the famous Portofino, town + beach)

  • Bogliasco (nice town with beach)

  • Pontetto (Scoglio di Pontetto - rock beach with beautiful view)

  • Framura (boat trip, bike ride, secluded beach)

For more details, have a look at https://www.thelazyitalian.com/liguria/ or another travel guide to Genova and the Cinque Terre, or ask Lisa :)

Of course, it wouldn’t be Lisa’s recommendation if it didn’t involve food and Liguria has a LOT of good food. You can’t leave without trying:

  • Focaccia Genovese

  • Focaccia al Formaggio di Recco

  • Trofie al Pesto

  • Fritto Misto

  • Polpo e Patate

  • Pansotti alla Salsa di Noci

  • Farinata

If you need any restaurant ideas, ask and you will receive :)
