From charming, unspoilt fishing villages to jet-set gems such as glorious Portofino; tiny hill villages to the splendid mansions and fine museums of Genoa; sun-soaked beaches to wild and beautiful national wildlife parks — the Italian Riviera has it all. This updated and expanded edition of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide recommends the best hotels and restaurants offering delicious regional cuisine and wines, and provides detailed coverage, including cutaways and floor-plans of all the major sights. This guide, with its hundreds of photographs, detailed maps of all the towns and regions, and unique watercolour illustrations, is an indispensable passport to the very best the Italian Riviera has on offer.
