What to do and see in Nervi, Liguria: The Best Things to do
Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

Raccolte Frugone is the art collection of two brothers. The collection dates from 1860 to 1930 and includes portraits, sculptures, drawings and engravings. It’s an amazing collection and well worth seeing. The villa itself is beautiful too. There was a very helpful and knowledgeable lady there who spoke good English and made the visit more enjoyable. We bought tickets there for 10 Euros which not only allowed us entry to the Raccolte Frugona but also the other two museums in Nervi, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (housed in the Villa Saluzzo Serra) and Wolfsoniana. These are also really worth a visit. The Wolfsoniana is an incredible collection of objects from art nouveau to art deco, including furniture, ceramics, drawings and loads more! We really loved what we saw there. The Galleria d’Arte Moderna is equally amazing and in such a beautiful Villa. I took so many photos! There was another lovely young lady there who spoke English and was there to answer questions and tell us more as we walked around. A fascinating and cultural morning! Great value too.

In the splendid setting of the park overlooking the cliffs of Nervi, the halls of a noble residence of the early 20th century host collections of paintings and drawings, furniture, antique clocks, ceramics, silverware and nativity figurines of the 18th-19th centuries. Of particular interest are the canvas by Magnasco.

4.5 based on 54 reviews
With a special focus on decorative arts and propaganda between 1880-1945, the Wolfsonian Museum starts from the taste for the exotic, which was popular in late 19th-century Italy, to then reveal the main linguistic and expressive currents of the first half of the 20th century, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco and Rationalism. The cultural complexity of the time is shown by the extraordinary variety of pieces (paintings, sculptures, furniture, decorative artworks, everyday objects and industrial designs).

This is a marvelous collection of Italian art nouveau, also known as "Liberty Style", and art deco style art and furniture. The museum consists of several small buildings set in a gorgeous park overlooking the Lugurian Sea, in a lovely southern neighbourhood of Genoa. A little difficult to get to, but well woth it for those interested in this period of artwork. Some stunning pieces!

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.

Cubilla American Bar, located in the heart of the port of Nervi, is waiting for the tasting of fine wines, spirits, cocktails and champagne. Being a night club requires a minimum of appropriate clothing (not like the flip flops). In addition, the local non-being can not accommodate very large number of companies and dogs, thus promoting an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility inside it.
