CITY STAY OPTIONS
Venice
The backdrop for many a blockbuster movie, feel like a fi lm star by hopping aboard a polished wooden water taxi for a private tour of Venice’s wonderfully winding waterways. Romantics can enjoy a traditional gondola ride, while the Vaporetti (water-bus) offers exactly the same sightseeing experience but for a fraction of the cost. In St Mark’s Square jump in the lift to the top of the Campanile di San Marco for uninterrupted views of Venice and its surrounding lagoon. Back at street level, explore the beautiful boutique shops, pausing for a refreshing gelato pick-me-up. Hop to the nearby island of Murano and the powerful lungs of the glass blowers will leave you breathless as they effortlessly create all manner of objects from their glowing bubbles of molten glass.
Genoa - 34 miles from Savona
Stacked high on the hillside, Genoa’s winding streets and staircases offer a unique insight into old Italian life. From the more modern port, climb through the old town and on up towards the shopping streets and squares. Along your way, take a peek at the creatures who hide under your hull in Europe’s largest aquarium, the Acuario di Genova, and visit the beautiful Basilica of Santa Maria di Castello, instantly recognisable by its black and white striped facade and lovely lounging lions. Outside of the city, just a short train ride away, is the Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi a Nervi. This two-kilometre walkway is suspended over the crashing waves below, a popular attraction with both locals and tourists.
Genoa
Milan Nice - 90 miles from Savona
For incredible views of Nice and its popular beaches, head to Castle Hill where, after a reasonable climb (or short lift ride), you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views out over the city and sea. Back down in the city, wander to Vielle Ville, the old town, to spend a few hours among the warren of winding streets. Bustling with markets and street performers, there’s an abundance of shops, cafés, bars, galleries and bakeries waiting to tempt you inside. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the Museo Chagall, dedicated to the colourful creations of Marc Chagall, while families can enjoy a seaside stroll along the palm lined Promenade des Anglais, or the animals, gardens and dancing fountains of Le Parc Phoenix.
Milan - 110 miles from Savona
Famous for fashion and football, no trip to Milan would be complete without a shopping spree and visit to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro). The Piazza del Duomo and Quadrilatero della Moda are lined with designer boutiques, but for a stunning shopping experience, head to Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, a huge glass-roofed shopping arcade with colourful mosaic fl oor. While sightseeing, be certain to visit Milan's Duomo, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, and Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, cocooned within the Santa Maria della Grazie church. You’ll need to book tickets well in advance to view the painting and the same applies if you plan to catch a show at La Scala, one of Italy’s top historic opera houses.
