Trip details
Day 1: Switzerland – Rapallo
Journey through Ticino to the Riviera di Levante. In Rapallo, you check in to your hotel right on the promenade. Over a welcome drink, you can look forward to the days of indulgence ahead.
Day 2: Cinque Terre
From Levanto, the train takes you to Manarola and Riomaggiore, where colourful houses nestle against steep cliffs and vineyard terraces. You then travel by boat along the rugged coast to Monterosso with its old town and the Torre Aurora watchtower. In the evening, you dine at a local trattoria and enjoy Ligurian specialities.
Day 3: Camogli – Portofino
The train takes you to the fishing village of Camogli with its tall, colourful house fronts. For lunch, you enjoy a picnic of various Ligurian focaccia specialities, including the famous focaccia col formaggio from nearby Recco. By boat, you reach the secluded bay of San Fruttuoso with its Benedictine abbey and continue to the glamorous town of Portofino. On the return journey to Rapallo, you can enjoy views from the water of the green, steep coastline of Monte di Portofino and the elegant villas along the shore.
Day 4: Sestri Levante – Lavagna
Sestri Levante enchants with the tranquil Baia del Silenzio. At a pesto workshop, you pound basil, pine nuts and Ligurian olive oil into authentic pesto alla genovese, and of course you can then enjoy the homemade pasta straight away. To finish, you visit the impressive Basilica dei Fieschi in Lavagna.
Day 5: Genoa – Switzerland
In Genoa, you discover the winding old town, the magnificent Palazzi dei Rolli and the lively harbour. In the afternoon, you begin your journey home.
You will stay at the 4* Hotel Europa in Rapallo, right on the promenade and only a few minutes' walk from the railway station and the beach. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, minibar and safe. A restaurant, bar and wellness area complete the facilities. An equivalent hotel will be used if the hotel is unavailable.
