Italian Riviera
Why the Italian Riviera?
If you’re looking for a taste of the real Italy, the province of Liguria, known as the Italian Riviera will definitely fulfill your expectations.
Experience boat trips on clear waters with a backdrop of vineyards and lemon trees. Immerse yourselves in the relaxed way of life and make the most of one of Italy’s well kept secrets. Visit the medieval town of Dolceacqua where time seems to have stood still, or take in the charming town of Bordighera, renowned for its beautiful coastal scenery.
Many groups also like to spend a day at “Le Caravelle” waterpark in Ceriale, or at one of Europe’s largest Aquariums in Genoa. With access to some superb venues in picturesque towns all along the coastline, combined with the friendliness of the people, this area is a winner for concert tours!
Where to Perform
Piazza Partigiani, Alassio
The elegant coastal resort of Alassio offers the chance to perform on a large outdoor stage only a few metres from the water’s edge. An evening concert series is held in Piazza Partigiani throughout the summer and is attended by enthusiastic locals and tourists alike.
Ampitheatre, Ospedaletti
Evening concerts at the purpose-built auditorium at Ospedaletti attract large and receptive audiences. Performances at this outstanding venue are often a highlight for any group travelling to Liguria.
Piazza San Michele, Albenga
San Michele Cathedral provides a stunning and memorable backdrop to outdoor concerts which take place in Albenga’s medieval square.
