Savona is the third most important city on the Ligurian Riviera. Its historic center is a typical Ligurian fishing village with the characteristic striped churches typical of the era of the maritime republics. Today it is an important cruise port. Here Costa Cruises has made its main base in the Mediterranean, building the Palacrociere, owned by the company. Day trips to Genoa, just a few kilometers away, are easy to make from this port and guarantee a rich cultural visit.
