A journey eastwards into Italy's own Riviera, the Liguria region, and the diversity of Italy's landscape and architecture unfolds. The Riviera del Levante's rugged landscape offers a refreshing sight, with opportunity to explore the Cinque Terre, five excitingly positioned cliff-top villages accessible by local boat or train, and to marvel at the splendour of the exclusive Portofino harbour.

Turn of the century residences, pastel Italianate façades and narrow alleys create the intricate pedestrianised maze of the Old Town, with the Cours Saleya, the lively and colourful fruit, vegetable and flower market, as its centrepiece.

Another day at leisure to enjoy a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, to indulge in some last minute shopping in the the Old Town or to visit one of the many museums such as the Matisse Museum, Museum of Modern Art or the Museum des Beaux Art which are all an art lover's treat.
