Bordighera
Three hundred years separate the first gate of Bordighera Alta from the last. A village that opens that slowly is telling you something about who lived in it.

Albenga
At Albenga everything sits within a few minutes' walk. So the problem with an itinerary here is not distance: it is shade. And the right order changes everything.

Albenga
Three things make Albenga easy with children, and none of the three is an attraction: the sand, the fact that it is all flat, and a Roman shipwreck to look at indoors.

Albenga
Four hundred and sixty-nine metres: that is what separates Albenga's station from the free beaches. It is the number that decides how to plan the day.

Albenga
From whichever stretch of Albenga's beach you look at the sea, you see the same thing: Gallinara island. And underfoot there is sand, which in Liguria is not a given.

Albenga
At Albenga the sand and one of Liguria's best-preserved medieval centres are a seven-minute walk apart. It is a combination that does not repeat along this coast.

Sanremo
Day one belongs to the city of the Russian empresses, on the sea; day two you climb into the Middle Ages or leave town along the cycle path. Two days, one decision.
Read the guide →
Sanremo
The best thing about Sanremo for a family is not an attraction: it is a 24-kilometre path with no cars and no junctions, where a six-year-old can cycle safely.

Sanremo
At Sanremo the station is underground and the old railway has become a 24-kilometre cycle path. Everything about moving around here follows from that single fact of 2001.
Read the guide →
Sanremo
Sanremo's beaches have something no other stretch of the Ligurian coast has: they are all reached from a flat cycle path running where the train used to.
Read the guide →
Sanremo
Sanremo is two cities on top of each other: the Festival one, which lasts a week, and the one the Russian empresses built, which is there all year. The second is why you come.

Rapallo
Two days in Rapallo with a single decision to get right: which day to give to the boat. Day one the town and the cable car, day two the sea and San Michele.
Read the guide →
Rapallo
Why Rapallo works with children: a flat seafront you can do with a pushchair, a park with a locomotive and a play castle, and a cable car that is the outing in itself.
Read the guide →
Rapallo
Rapallo has no single stretch of sand: it has the town seafront, the castle area and three coves beyond the harbour. Which ones are free, what the shore is like and which to pick.
Read the guide →
Rapallo
Train, motorway, boats and cable car, and above all the car parks: where they are, how many spaces they have and why in Rapallo a car is more a problem than a convenience.
Read the guide →
Rapallo
What to see in Rapallo in order of importance, and how long each takes: the castle on the water, the sanctuary of Montallegro and the altarpiece almost nobody looks for.
Read the guide →
Rapallo
What Rapallo offers, who it suits and who it does not, and why it works as a base for the Tigullio: a town that lives all year round, a short hop from Portofino.
