Genoa, Heart of Liguria

Genoa is the regional capital and the ideal starting point for exploring Liguria.

Savona and the Western Riviera (Riviera di Ponente)

Savona is a vibrant seaside city that proudly holds the Blue Flag every year. This prestigious international award attests to the excellent quality of its bathing waters, effective environmental management, and the presence of high-level services and safety on its beaches.
