Liguria
This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt’s award-winning guide to Liguria is the essential companion to getting the most out of a visit to this beguiling Italian region. Having spent over thirty years exploring Liguria, author Rosie Whitehouse introduces you to not just the glitz of the Riviera but also to the charm of the wild, little-known hinterland and mountain valleys, including in-depth coverage of local gastronomic delights – a key element of any Ligurian visit.
Liguria is a rugged region of dizzy passes and breathtaking views, where mountains plunge into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The coastal strip includes the world-famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the resort of Portofino, the charming Cinque Terre, and numerous Blue Flag beaches. In the hinterland many beautiful villages and mountain walks have yet to be discovered by tourists – perfect for adventurous travellers wanting a taste of the real Italy.
Liguria has close links with the USA. Christopher Columbus was reportedly born in Genoa and thousands of journeys to Ellis Island started in its historic port. The founder of Bank of America was born in a remote Ligurian mountain valley, and Hollywood stars (think Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Clarke Gable and Rita Hayworth) have long been drawn to the Riviera.
This fourth edition covers new, high-class hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants that reflect Liguria’s status as a luxury destination that, blessedly, doesn’t always come with expensive price tags. Also new in this edition is information on Genoa’s new Museum of Emigration.
