Italy - Liguria
"Dolce Vita" between Cote d'Azur and Tuscany
Picturesque bays frame the azure-blue Mediterranean, a whale near the coast of Liguria (pictured right), year-round mild climate, cultural and historical sites of world renown, and most important the Italian "joie de vivre" make Liguria the top destination for Incentives & Meetings in Northern Italy.
The diversity of the landscape and partly still untouched nature offer excellent opportunities for Active Programs. Set off on a search for "Moby Dick" while Whale-Watching aboard a sailing boat, or show off your cooking skills in "Team Cooking" at an agriturismo.
Following are just a few suggestions for fantastic programs in Liguria.
How to get there
If your destination is in western Liguria, the best airport for your arrival would be Nice. It will take about 90 minutes by bus to reach the Riviera. Genoa is the preferred airport for destinations further east. A bus ride to glamorous Portofino will take approximately 60 minutes. If you are a multinational group, Milan airport would be your best choice.
