💡 Tips
- Don't miss exploring Bussana Vecchia, a historic hilltop artist village completely rebuilt from earthquake ruins.

- Renting a bicycle for the coastal Pista Ciclabile is the most scenic way to travel between neighboring Riviera towns.
- Parking in Bussana Vecchia is very limited and the road is narrow; park your car further down and walk the rest of the way.
