Description
Guided tour of Italy! Ventimiglia Market, Monet Bridge in Dolceacqua, the hilltop village of Apricale, and the glamour of San Remo
Just 30 minutes from Nice, discover an authentic and little-known side of Italy. In one day, you'll journey through a thousand years of Ligurian history: bustling markets, medieval hilltop villages, a bridge immortalized by Monet, and the glamour of San Remo. A tour on a human scale, far from the crowds, to experience Italy like a local.
Ventimiglia — Your first stop in Italy. Stroll through the medieval old town, climb up to the 11th-century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, and soak up the Italian atmosphere over a real cup of coffee.
Dolceacqua — A village divided into two parts connected by a 15th-century medieval bridge that Claude Monet painted several times. Climb to Doria Castle for panoramic views of the olive groves and taste Rossese, the local red wine.
Apricale — Voted one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Stone-lined alleys, murals by local artists, the Lucertola Castle… A timeless, almost deserted place where you can stop for lunch at a trattoria.
San Remo — La Pigna, the historic spiral-shaped neighborhood, offers a maze of narrow streets that wind their way up to a sanctuary with sea views. End the day on the Belle Époque waterfront before returning to Nice.
