Marina di Varazze is a modern marina developed to be an integral part of the town’s traditional architecture. It is set in the very heart of the western Italian Riviera, in a strategic position close to the main northern Italian and central European cities. Set against the backdrop of green hillslopes and just a five-minute walk from the town centre, it is strategically located only 25 kilometers from Genoa and Cristoforo Colombo international airport and 150 kilometers by motorway from Milan and Turin. The Swiss border is less than two and a half hours away by car. This makes it one of the easiest and quickest tourist destinations to get to on the western Italian Riviera, even on busy weekends and during the holidays. The Marina is also served by Varazze and Savona railway stations. As well as being a convenient destination, it is also the ideal starting point for trips not only to the Costa Azzurra and the Riviera dei Fiori, to the Golfo del Tigullio and the Cinque Terre, and to Corsica and the Tuscan coastline, but also to Turin, Milan and their surrounding areas, which are steeped in art, history and culture, not to mention their fine food & wine.
