Bordighera, a flowery city on the Riviera dei Fiori

Bordighera, a flowery city On the “Riviera dei Fiori”, the charming Bordighera station attracts tourists and artists from the whole world from the nineteenth century who enjoy the equipped bathing establishments and the numerous cultural services offered. Bordighera is located at the foot of the Maritime Alps, on the coast of the Ligurian Riviera di Ponente, twenty kilometers from the border with France. This enviable location, with the mountains descending to the sea, makes this beautiful city a tourist destination that enjoys a mild climate both in winter and summer.

The ancient fortified village is still visible in the historic center and built with irregular pentagonal shape, surrounded by powerful walls of the late Middle Ages. Today we can stroll through the dense network of alleys and squares, typical of Ligurian villages. Bordighera can also boast the longest seafront on the Riviera with its 2 straight kilometers along the beach. This walk is called the 'Argentine Waterfront' because it was inaugurated by Evita Perón in 1947.

Among the many famous people who went to Bordighera, it is impossible not to mention the famous painter Monet who spent several months in the city and who inspired himself by the beautiful Lowe gardens for some of his paintings. And it is precisely in these gardens that the Bordighera JAZZ and Blues Festival is held every year at the end of August.
