Day trip itinerary Genova-Finale Ligure and back

#mediterranean #mediterraneanvibes #italy #liguria Start your day by taking an early train from Genova to Finale Ligure, which usually takes a bit over an hour. Once you arrive, spend some time exploring the different parts of town. ✅ Head first to Finalborgo, the medieval walled village with its narrow streets, historic churches, and lively piazzas. ✅ From there you can walk to Finalpia to see the abbey and get a quieter feel of the town. ✅ Then make your way down to the Marina district, Finale Mare, with its wide promenade and beach atmosphere. In the afternoon, continue your trip toward Noli. You can either take a bus or, if you have time and don’t mind a longer journey, walk along the coast through Varigotti. The seaside path is beautiful, with views of cliffs and bays, but it does take time, so it’s good to plan ahead. Varigotti itself is worth a short stop — colorful houses right on the sand make it one of the most charming corners of the Riviera. Once in Noli, spend a little time exploring the village. It’s one of the most beautiful in Liguria, with its medieval streets and old towers, and has a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere. A late afternoon aperitivo here is a great way to pause before heading on. From Noli, either walk or take a quick bus ride to Spotorno. The beach there is wide and relaxed, perfect for a swim at sunset to end the day. Afterward, you can catch a train from Spotorno back to Genova in the evening.
