Summer in Italy Begins with Nervi’s Sea Breeze 🌊🇮🇹

If you’re in Genoa, spare half a day for Nervi—a locals’ favorite seaside escape. Unlike the divisive (and sometimes over-filtered 😅) charm of Boccadasse, Nervi’s beauty is consistently dreamy. 🚄 How to Get There Train from Genova station: 18-30 mins, €1.60 (buy via Trenit! app or ticket machines). Frequency: Every 10-20 mins. Arrival: Step off the train—the sea greets you immediately! 🚶 No-Backtracking Route 1️⃣ Start at Nervi Station: Walk east through Villa Gropallo/Serra/Grimaldi parks (shady, photogenic, perfect for friends!). 2️⃣ Spiaggia pubblica di Capolungo: Free rocky beach. 3️⃣ Seaside promenade (Walk Anita Garibaldi): Stroll west with endless ocean views. 4️⃣ Terrazza panoramica sul Porticciolo di Nervi: A scenic viewpoint with an S-curve photo spot + pastel houses 5️⃣ Porticciolo di Nervi: Tiny harbor with a pebble beach. 6️⃣ Spiaggia di Caprafico & Murcarolo: More rocky/pebble beaches. 7️⃣ Return via town streets: 20-min walk back to the station, passing cute local shops. ⚠️ Tips ☀️ Weather: Humid (like Wuhan/Guangzhou)—sunscreen is a must! 🍹 Snacks: Bars/gelato spots line the promenade (prices are reasonable). ⏳ Timing: Full route + photos ≈ 3h (relaxed pace). 👨👩👧👦 Vibe: Almost no tourists—just locals chilling. 🚫 Not for: Rush-hour travelers. Best for slow explorers! Why Nervi? It’s Genoa’s best-kept secret—where Ligurian cliffs meet turquoise waves, and time slows down. #Genoa #Nervi #ItalianSummer #SeasideLife #SlowTravel 🌞📸
