Albenga
This heritage-dense coastal town on the Gulf of Genoa, Albenga is known as the city of a hundred spires and holds a well-preserved historic centre within easy reach of vineyards and a seafront. The walkable old town is thick with listed buildings, and the surrounding Ligurian landscape — mountains visible inland, water at the edge of town — gives it a strong visual character. A Wikivoyage entry signals it draws independent travellers looking for an Italian Riviera base with genuine historic fabric.
