Savona Guide

What is there to do in Savona?

Savona is unashamedly Italian; narrow streets adorned by colourful houses lead to charming piazzas decorated by tourists and locals enjoying the quintessential Italian experience. The temperature soars in the summer, yet throughout the years it remains fairly warm, meaning there is a steady stream of visitors throughout the calendar. The most lauded part of the town is the impressive centre, boasting an abundance of historical architecture amid cultural buildings. The Pinacoteca Civica di Savona showcases the art created in the region since the 14th Century, presenting myriad of alluring pieces from all genres of art. The mesmerising towers and structural designs dominating the centre typically prove top of the itinerary for most tourists, however, a great number of visitors head to Italy’s northwest coast to enjoy the array of outdoor activities. On the water you can grab your surfboard and tackle the waves against the rough tide, or smoothly sail across the Mediterranean Sea on a relaxing boat ride. Copious walking trails grace the hillside, proving challenging but not particularly arduous, so even those lacking fitness can enjoy the spectacular views. For the more active types, tempting biking trails grace the mountainside, perfect for anyone who is adept on two wheels.
