Nervi is a small resort, a few kilometres east of Genoa in Liguria, well known for its beautiful gardens, parks and mild climate as well as the Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi, a cliffside promenade with panoramic views.
The promenade runs from Nervi’s old harbour along the coast for nearly two kilometres. Cut into the cliffside the promenade passes by Nervi’s gardens, parks and ancient villas which house the Modern Art Gallery and the collections of the private collections of the Luxoro and Frugone families.
With a southern exposure and mountains at its back the promenade is ensured an exceptionally mild climate and offers panoramic views of the Portofino headland, Camogli village to the east, and the coastline of the Mortola Cape to the west. Along the Promenade are several access points to the seashore, where bathers can swim, plunge or dive into the sea or in the swimming-pools built amongst the rocks.
By Bus: From Genova buses 15 & 17 will take you directly to Nervi. The buses leave every 20 minutes during the day and every hour during the night from the city centre and Brignole Station.
By Train: From both Brignole and Principe Railway stations east direction, stop at Nervi.
By Car: From the A12, take the Genova-Nervi exit, bare left over the bridge (sign posted Levante/La Spezia) onto Corsa Europa and into Nervi town centre.
Best place to park? Nervi Station car park, 1.50 Euro an hour. Just walk through the opening in the wall more or less opposite the central pay machine, through the pedestrian tunnel under the railway line, and within a few steps you are on the Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi. Turn right for Nervi harbour, turn left for views towards Portofino’s headland.
