Beaches, temples, waterfalls, viewpoints and markets — the things worth building days around. Nothing here is booked on this page: each one says what it is and how long people spend there, then points at the stays and tours in the same area.

Cattedrale di San Lorenzo

Striped black and white in the Ligurian manner, at the heart of the old town's alleyways. An unexploded naval shell from 1941 still sits inside where it landed. Free, central, and the natural pause in a walk through the carruggi around it.
