Birthplace of pesto sauce and focaccia bread, Genoa is a fantastic place to experience the wonders of Ligurian cuisine, with strong culinary traditions and fresh ingredients from both land and sea.

Spread out along nine miles (15 km) of the rugged Ligurian coast, wedged between the Apennine Mountains and the Mediterranean, the five medieval villages collectively known as Cinque Terre are a testament to the communities who for centuries have made their lives in this beautiful yet inhospitable stretch of land.
