Book a transfer from Nice to Genoa — a spectacular Riviera journey from the glamorous French Côte d'Azur to Italy's largest port city, crossing the border through some of the Mediterranean's most breathtaking coastal scenery.
The 200 km journey takes 3 to 3.5 hours heading east along the coast, crossing from France into Italy through Monaco, Menton, and the Italian Riviera towns of Sanremo and Savona. The drive along the Ligurian coast offers stunning views of the Mediterranean, cliffside villages, and terraced hillsides.
Genoa (Genova) is Italy's most underrated great city — a magnificent former maritime republic with Europe's largest medieval old town, a UNESCO-listed system of Renaissance palaces (the Strade Nuove and Palazzi dei Rolli), and a gritty, authentic energy unlike anywhere else in Italy. The old port (Porto Antico) redeveloped by Renzo Piano houses the impressive Acquario di Genova (Europe's largest aquarium). The caruggi (narrow medieval lanes) hide extraordinary churches, bustling markets, and the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. Genoa invented pesto, focaccia, and farinata — its food scene is legendary and remarkably affordable.
