These are the sights of Savona
Savona is a city with many attractions. It is located on the Riviera and is therefore not far from your holiday apartment or holiday home. The most important attractions in the region are located in the center of Savona. On your tour, you will come across buildings that are many centuries old. These include the church of San Giovanni Battista, the Leon Pancaldo Tower in the harbor, the Fortezza del Priamar fortress, and the pinacotheca in Palazzo Pozzobonello. And not to forget: the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the adjacent Sistine Chapel. The 50-meter-high Torre del Brandale is the town's landmark. After you have looked at the sights here, it's time for a cappuccino on a sunny piazza. La dolce vita is, of course, also very popular in Liguria. Savona's harbor is not unknown either. It played a significant role in the Middle Ages already. Today, ferries to Corsica operate from here. The town of Albenga also has a rich history, experiencing its heyday many centuries ago under Roman rule and in the Middle Ages. It was known for its harbor, its forum, and its necropolis. On a stroll through the town, you can still see many traces of its glorious past today.
Excursion destinations that should be on your list!
In addition to the top sights and landmarks in the city, other attractions can be found in other corners. Don't miss a detour there during your vacation. These include the Riviera di Ponente coastal sections, which continue up to the French border. Between the province of Savona and France, the Imperia region, which also belongs to Liguria, claims an especially beautiful part of the Palm Riviera for itself. By car or train, you can reach, for example, San Remo in a short time. The town is known for its casino and its oriental-looking old town. For climbing enthusiasts and mountain bikers, the limestone surroundings of Finale Ligure are a good reason to leave your reasonably-priced holiday apartment or holiday home in the best location to pursue your favorite activities in a beautiful setting under palm trees.
With your pet to a Casa in the province of Savona?
Where there is a sandy beach, there is a paradise for children! It's that simple with the little ones. The sea in Liguria is ideal for water fun for the whole family. Wide beaches, many palm trees providing shade, and reasonably-priced holiday apartments and holiday homes, for example in Finalborgo, offer perfect conditions for a beach holiday in Savona. Private holiday homes provide everything a family household needs. Even high chairs and cots are available on request. Sun worshipers, water nymphs, and water rats particularly love the coastal towns of Celle Ligure, Pietra Ligure, Bergeggi, Andora, and Finale Ligure. And not to forget the natural sandy beach of Alassio! Are you wondering if your pet will also be happy here on the coast? Give it a try! Spend your holiday with your dog in Savona best at a place not right in town. Instead, opt for a villa or spacious apartment close to the coast. Most houses allow pets. Larger cities also have special dog-friendly beaches. The one in Albissola Marina has particularly good reviews. Visit the surrounding villages for relaxed hikes or bike rides as well.
Mediterranean cuisine refined with many herbs
No matter where your holiday accommodation is located, the nearest restaurant is not far away. The menus offer dishes typical of the Mediterranean: pasta, rice, fish, and seafood are served almost everywhere. The chefs in Liguria particularly use rosemary and thyme to refine their dishes. Native olive oil is also indispensable. It is the most popular regional product and is cultivated everywhere in Liguria. If you want to try a real specialty from Savona, order "Farinata". It's a pancake made from chickpea flour, traditionally baked in a wood oven in traditional houses. For dessert, treat yourself to Amaretti di Sassello, just like the locals do. The private accommodation kitchens are equipped with everything you need for self-catering. So nothing stands in the way of cooking in your holiday apartment under palm trees or your holiday home with modern amenities. How about a leisurely walk through the old town's alleys afterward to digest?
Fancy museum and theater in the Ligurian province of Savona?
Renting a deck chair on the beach and spending the whole day by the sea - that sounds tempting at first! However, most people also want some variety with sights, culture, and museums at their holiday destination. If you are looking for exhibitions, you will mainly find them in Savona: impressive paintings hang in the San Giovanni Battista church, for example. The fortress houses the Museum of Archaeology and an art collection. The cathedral is home to the cathedral treasury museum. Would you also like to spend the evening outside your holiday apartment in the old town or your holiday home with its private bay and garden? Then head to Teatro Chiabrera on Piazza Armando Diaz in Savona and watch a performance or concert that you will remember for a long time.
