The shape of it
The Riviera proper: La Spezia, the Cinque Terre terraces, Portovenere, Portofino, Genoa. Pesto, sunset swims and harbour nights — the trip spends most of its heart here.

Genoa's 15th-edition avant-garde electronic + performance festival (theme 'Outer Space'), 50 artists from 25 countries, gender-balanced and transnational — the antithesis of a tourist-trap night out.
