What to do in Liguria when it rains? The typical day of a grumbling local

First and foremost, here’s my advice: take your time! What could be better than enjoying a day without any rush? How often does simply seeing the sun shine fill us with expectations, even making us feel a bit guilty for taking things slowly? So, first, look at it from this perspective, and savor the slowness, the quiet, and the rain.

And does bad weather make only me feel hungry? A rich breakfast is exactly what’s needed. Cappuccino, hot chocolate with whipped cream, pastries, focaccia, pizza… by noon, we might already feel full. The weather is perfect to spend the morning in the intimate, retro atmosphere of Caffè Pasticceria Piccardo.

Now, off we go: a bit of shopping at The Mall Luxury Outlet in Sanremo, a visit to the Olive Museum to learn about the history and culture of our people, a stroll under the porticoes of Oneglia, or if you have the time and interest, you can hop on a train and quickly reach Genoa for a unique experience at the Aquarium.
