National parks near Genoa

Genoa is the natural base for the Ligurian coastal parks. Portofino's promontory is half an hour east by train to Camogli or Santa Margherita, and Cinque Terre and Porto Venere about ninety minutes, via La Spezia. Boats link all three in summer. Inland and west, the Maritime Alps rise to France's Mercantour. Spring and autumn are the seasons for walking; the coast paths are hot and crowded in August.
