Best time to visit Liguria
Liguria is at its most enjoyable from late spring through early autumn, when the region benefits from warm sunshine, low rainfall, and pleasant coastal breezes. May, June, and September are especially appealing months, offering comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from the high 60s to mid-80s Fahrenheit (around 20–30°C), and a more relaxed atmosphere than the peak summer period.
Visiting Liguria during these months allows you to fully immerse yourself in its dramatic coastline and outdoor lifestyle. Spend your days exploring the colorful villages of the Cinque Terre, cruising along the Riviera by boat, relaxing on pebbled beaches, or hiking scenic coastal trails with sweeping sea views. With its blend of natural beauty, historic charm, and Mediterranean elegance, Liguria offers an unforgettable Italian escape.
Food and drink in Liguria
Food and drink in Liguria are defined by fresh ingredients, simple preparation, and bold Mediterranean flavors. The region is famous as the birthplace of pesto alla Genovese, made with fragrant basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano, and local olive oil, traditionally served with trofie or trenette pasta.
Seafood plays a central role in Ligurian cuisine, with dishes featuring anchovies, sea bream, mussels, and squid, often grilled or lightly fried. Local favorites include focaccia, soft, golden, and drizzled with olive oil, focaccia di Recco filled with creamy cheese, and farinata, a savory chickpea pancake enjoyed as a street food staple.
To drink, Liguria offers crisp local wines such as Vermentino, Pigato, and Sciacchetrà, a renowned dessert wine from the Cinque Terre. Aperitivo culture thrives along the coast, with a glass of wine or a refreshing spritz enjoyed at sunset, perfectly complementing the relaxed, seaside lifestyle of the region.
Flying to Liguria is easy thanks to several nearby airports with good domestic and international connections. The most convenient option is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA), located just outside the city of Genoa and ideal for accessing the Ligurian coast, including Portofino, the Italian Riviera, and the Cinque Terre.
Alternative airports include Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) in France and Milan Malpensa (MXP) or Milan Linate (LIN), all of which are within a few hours’ drive or train journey. These airports offer a wider range of international flights.
From the airport, Liguria is easily reached by car, train, or private transfer, with excellent rail connections running along the coast and linking Genoa to the region’s picturesque seaside towns.
Driving in Liguria offers beautiful coastal and countryside views, but it requires some planning. Major motorways, including the A10, A12, and A26, connect Liguria with France, Tuscany, and northern Italy, making travel to the region straightforward.
Roads along the Ligurian coast can be narrow, winding, and busy, especially in historic towns and popular destinations like the Cinque Terre and Portofino. Traffic is often heavier during summer months and weekends, so allowing extra travel time is recommended.
Parking can be limited in coastal towns, with many areas restricted to residents or designated ZTL (limited traffic zones). Public parking garages and paid lots are common, and checking local parking rules will help avoid fines.
Exploring Liguria by boat is one of the most scenic ways to travel along the coast. Regular ferries and hydrofoils connect key towns such as Genoa, Portofino, Cinque Terre, La Spezia, and the surrounding islands, making it easy to enjoy the coastline without driving.
Services include both passenger ferries for sightseeing and faster hydrofoils for quick travel between towns. Many routes offer stunning views of cliffs, colorful villages, and the Mediterranean Sea. Tickets can be purchased at ports or online, and some services also allow bicycles on board. Traveling by boat in Liguria is convenient, relaxing, and a highlight of the Italian Riviera experience.
