Description

Escape the bustle of Milan on a full-day tour of the Ligurian Coast. Explore the historic city of Genova to discover the largest seaport in Italy. Sail to the fishing village of Portofino, and visit the picturesque hamlet of Santa Margherita Ligure.


Break free from Milan's frenetic pace on a day-long adventure to the breathtaking Ligurian Coast, where three hidden gems await discovery. Board a comfortable bus in central Milan and head south to Genoa, the elegant capital of Liguria and Italy's largest seaport. Dubbed "La Superba" for its stunning landmarks, the old town's historic center was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2006. Wander through streets rich in artistic treasures, gastronomic delights, and architectural wonders. As the birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Genoa's significance in maritime history is unrivaled. Once a powerful "Maritime Republic" alongside Venice, Pisa, and Amalfi, the ornate buildings and monuments whisper tales of trade and shipbuilding mastery. Next, unwind in the picturesque Ligurian coastal town of Portofino, whose Roman roots date back to ancient times. This glamorous harbor, with its kaleidoscope of colorful waterfront houses, has become a coveted retreat for celebrities. Its Roman name, Portus Delphini, pays tribute to the dolphins that once inhabited the Tigullian Gulf. Conclude your journey in Santa Margherita Ligure, where the turquoise sea harmoniously blends with the rolling Ligurian hills. Take in the vibrant atmosphere, where fishing boats bob in the harbor and fishermen's cottages evoke a bygone era of simplicity and charm.
