Discover the Italian Riviera

Discover Italian Riviera – a resource dedicated to uncovering the hidden gems and must-see spots in this enchanting region. This isn’t an official tourist marketing site. That means you get an independent and unbiased view of the places we cover. We don’t claim to cover the entire region, and while we don’t intentionally skip the top attractions, our choice of destinations might seem unique or even quirky. We love exploring smaller towns like Camogli and Bordighera just as much as the bustling heart of Genoa. We enjoy highlighting spots where the local tourist office hasn’t yet created an English version of their website.

Our aim is to offer something a bit different from the large travel portals that focus on the most popular locations. We don’t feature attractions or accommodations because they’ve paid for placement. Instead, we strive to provide an honest mix of the good and the not-so-good about each location.
