You will take a full-day trip from Milan to the Ligurian coast, discovering three of its most representative destinations: Genoa, Portofino, and Santa Margherita Ligure. Throughout the day, you will combine history, maritime landscapes, elegant villages, and free time to enjoy the Italian Riviera at your own pace.
The experience will begin with a comfortable coach journey from central Milan to Genoa, the capital of Liguria and Italy’s largest seaport. Known as La Superba for its rich history and imposing architecture, the city preserves a historic center of great heritage value, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During the visit to Genoa, you will be able to explore its historic streets, admire palaces, discover corners full of art, and learn about its important maritime past. This city, linked to Christopher Columbus and the ancient Maritime Republics, offers a special perspective on the relationship between Italy, trade, and the Mediterranean.
The tour will continue toward Portofino, one of the most famous coastal villages on the Italian Riviera. With its small harbor, colorful houses, crystal-clear waters, and elegant atmosphere, this destination preserves a unique charm. Its origins date back to Roman times, when it was known as Portus Delphini, in reference to the dolphins that inhabited the Gulf of Tigullio.
Finally, you will visit Santa Margherita Ligure, a coastal town where the turquoise sea combines with green hills and pastel-colored façades. There, you will be able to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of its harbor, observe traditional boats, and stroll through a setting that reflects the essence of the Ligurian coast. At the end, you will return to Milan with a complete experience that brings together culture, elegance, and Mediterranean landscapes.
