Top Things to do in Italian Riviera
What to do and see in Italian Riviera, Liguria: The Best Historic Walking Areas
Liguria, or the Italian Riviera, boasts a bounty of beaches and resort towns, such as tiny but tony Portofino and stylish Rapallo. Hiking trails lead from Portofino to the villages of Cinque Terre. The Riviera of the Setting Sun runs north from Genoa to the French border. Connected by an extensive rail network, most towns make easy daytrips from one another. Genoa is the region's principal city and is home to attractions from its famous Cathedral and the Palazzo Reale to an excellent aquarium.

Narrow Alley Lined With Wonderful Aristocratic Urban Palazzos in the great maritime trading rival to Venice. We took a slow walking tour down the street, admiring its amazing architecture, mostly from the Reniissance and the Baroque Age. MUST SEE!

Visited 3 towns out of 5 in cinque terre, Rio maggiore, Manarola and Monterosso. Drove first to Manarola from La Spezia, car park is about 1 km uphill, then have to walk to the sea, Manarola is most picturesque among the five towns, must visit, walk back upto the parking was little tiring, however the train station is very near to the sea and right at the bottom. Next was Monterosso, this is only town with a sandy beach. Parking is right next to the beach. Good for a swim. Last was Rio maggiore on way back to la spezia, walk is about 500-700 Meter from car park which is again uphill, with train station in between. Good restaurants at Rio maggiore and Manorola , specially one on the hill top at Manarola. The other two towns are more or less same and can be skipped if running short of time.

We arrived by cruise ship, walked 10-15 min to the train and then took the train from Genoa to Nervi. It cost about 2 euro and the ride was only about 15 min. The entrance to the Anita Garibaldi promenade is steps to the left of the Nervi train station. We spent the entire afternoon there. Waves were crashing into the cliffs and it was fun to time the waves that might splash onto the winding walkway. The views are breathtaking with museums and a couple of restaurants/bars along the way. I must have taken 100 pictures. This is nature at its finest. I would highly recommend this as a side trip from Genoa.
