Coast: Riviera Ligure (Italian Riviera)

The Ligure Riviera (or Italian Riviera) is an emblematic stretch of coastline that extends along the Ligurian coast, from the French border to Tuscany. Naturally divided by the port city of Genoa into two sectors – the Riviera di Ponente to the west and the Riviera di Levante to the east – this region is renowned for its dramatic topography, where the Alps and Apennines fall directly into the turquoise waters of the sea. It is home to world-famous enclaves such as Cinque Terre, Portofino and Sanremo, combining an aura of timeless glamor with traditional fishing villages with pastel facades and imposing mountain trails.
