Liguria (Italy) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Liguria in Italy.
Extending south to Tuscany, Italy’s mountainous western coast on the Gulf of Genoa is called, Liguria, a picture book country with paradisiacal cliffs, remote villages, bucket loads of sunshine and a region known as, Cinque Terre, that comprises five villages. Our journey begins in Genoa, the fifth largest city in Italy. A guided tour of the harbour is a good way to gain an understanding of this city which became a powerful economic force in the sixteenth century. The Palazzo Reale was once the residence of the Savoy-Piedmont royal family, with bel-etage, gallery and hanging garden. Monterosso Al Mare is the first and largest of the five villages that comprise Cinque Terre, on the route south. It extends across two bays and two districts, separated by a rock. The modern district of Fegina has a long waterfront promenade, a well-kept sandy beach and a good range of accommodation. Vernazza is considered to be the most beautiful of the five villages mainly because of its location within a splendid bay. Corniglia has no direct access to the sea, but extends along a massive rocky plateau about a hundred metres above the sea. On the hilly outskirts is the San Pietro Church, built in 1334, with an elegant, decorated facade and a rose window of Carrara marble. Portovenere is situated on a long promontory in a remarkable location on the Ligurian coast. Just outside the famous Old Town are some splendid exclusive apartments, each with their own character. It was here that the Romans founded Veneris Portus, the ‘Port Of Venus’. The magic of Liguria is based on the contrast between a narrow Mediterranean coastal strip and steep, barren mountains. Whether you walk this scenic landscape or explore it by train or ship, Liguria is a special dream of romance and beauty.

Places to see in ( Imperia - Italy )
Imperia is Liguria's westernmost province. It borders on Piedmont to the north, the Province of Savona to the east, and France to the west. To the south, it is lapped by the Ligurian Sea. The Provincial Capital is Imperia (41,500 residents) but the most populated town is San Remo (56,000 residents). The sea and the mountains are so close that the area hosts four mountain communities: Comunità dell'Olivo, Alta Valle Arroscia, Argentina Armea and Montana Intemelia. The name Imperia stems from the Impero River, which divides the former opposing villages of Porto Maurizio and Oneglia, now united into one town. In May 1945, the territory was occupied for a month by de Gaulle’s French army, the so-called Tirailleurs.
The stretch of coast belonging to Imperia Province is also known as the Riviera dei Fiori, the Flower Riviera, characterized by bays, ports and coves that become valleys, creeks and peaks standing above 984 ft. The sea of the Riviera is known for a mild climate, even in winter. At a short distance from the coast, behind the hills are valleys and pristine woods. Imperia is well-known for its many agro-alimentary firms that produce oil and pasta (although in time its economy has shifted towards services and tourism), and olive groves are still widespread throughout the territory.
Visit the Provincial Capital's central Via Bonfante with its arcades, and Galleria Isnardi and Galleria degli Orti with the most exclusive boutiques. Along the marina and behind the harbor is old Oneglia, with the old fishermen’s houses and the Palazzo dei Doria, the former lords of the town. Imperia's eastern border reveals the remnants of the 17th-Century walls, originally commissioned by the Savoia family.
Nearby lies the Church of the Annunziata with its neoclassical façade, and the 18th-Century Scolopi Complex. The Duomo di San Maurizio, also in the Neoclassical style, is just outside the historic center. The Naval Museum is also in Piazza del Duomo. The most popular beach along the Province's Riviera is Spiaggia d’Oro, or Golden Beach, in the port area of Borgo Marina, yet every community - from Imperia, Bordighera, and Arma di Taggia to Diano Marina and Ospedaletti - offers gorgeous and sunny beaches.
Noteworthy among the best inland destinations are Dolceacqua (with the overlooking Doria Castle, which can be reached through a scenic bridge over the Nervia River), Pigna (an art and spa hub), Rocchetta Nervina (with its many small lakes, the best initiation point for a hike), Perinaldo (famous for the Cassini Observatory) and Pieve di Teco (with its characteristic arcades).
San Remo, the city of flowers, is home to the 1905 Casino, where every year the Festival della Canzone Italiana (Italian song festival) is held. Ventimiglia is the town nearest to the border with France, and to the visitor it reveals its dual personalities: the archaeological town from the Roman period, an open-air museum with a theatre still in pristine conditions, the Provenza Portal, the thermal baths and mosaics; and the Medieval town, on the Roia River's right bank, characterized by monumental walls, the Cathedral of the Assunta, the octagonal-plan Baptistery and the Convent of the Canonichesse Lateranensi. Worth visiting is also the Salvini di Pieve di Teco Theater, the world’s smallest theatre.
Imperia Province displays extraordinary flora: from the world-famous palms of Bordighera to the terraces covered with vineyards and olive groves, that lend their incredible colors to the Nervia Valley. Similarly, the trees on the Olivo Hills alternate with homes and villages. Finally, the valleys between Liguria and Piedmont - such as Argentina, Armea and Arroscia - boast plenty of natural resources that decorate the remains of ancient settlements.
