Liguria: The Bradt Travel Guide

This is a guide to Liguria, a mountainous region of dizzy passes and breath-taking views where mountains plunge down into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. Liguria will leave you awestruck by its beauty. The narrow strip of coast includes the gems of the world famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the glitzy resort of Portofino and the charms of the Cinque Terra. Yet in the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists.
