Liguria is one of Italy's
small regions. Shaped like a narrow ribbon that stretches west along the
coast of France, it is composed of four provinces namely Imperia, Savona,
Genoa and La Spezia. The region is famous worldwide for its world-class
resorts in the style of Cannes and Monaco. The capital city of this region
is Genoa. |
The coast is divided into
two parts, the one located between the French border and Genoa is called
La Riviera de Ponente. It is famous for is long sandy beaches and historical
towns like San Remo which is a favorite tourist destination. O the opposite
side, from Genoa to the border of Tuscany is called La Riviera de Levante,
which is characterized by mountains and cliffs that hang over the coastline.
| Many tourists come to Liguria
not only for its historical places but also for its beaches, which is an
uninterrupted string of resorts. Along the coast a lot of water activities
could be done from windsurfing, scuba diving, water skiing, kayaking and
sailing. In the inland areas you could do a lot of outdoor activities from
horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking.

in Genoa, which is The Lanterna. . It is the symbol of the city; a lighthouse

used during its construction is now gone, being replaced by a 1000-watt
bulb that could reach as far as 50 miles away to the sea.
From its top you could get
a beautiful view of the city down below and also that of the Gulf and the
Riviera.
Other sights to visit in
Genoa are the numerous palaces and museums, which offer a vast wealth of
displays of art. The museums carry many paintings done by famous artists. |
