About The Port Of Savona
Savona sits along the Ligurian coast west of Genoa, a working port city with centuries of maritime history behind its modern cruise terminal. The old town, arranged around narrow lanes and open piazzas, lies within easy walking distance of the pier and centers on the Fortezza del Priamar, a fortress built in the 16th century on the site of the city's original settlement. Savona has long been known for its ceramics tradition, and small workshops around town still reflect that craft heritage.
Beyond the historic core, the city serves as a practical starting point for exploring the wider Italian Riviera, with Genoa's museums, aquarium, and medieval streets within easy reach by train. Travelers with more time can also head into the Ligurian hinterland, where hill towns and coastal villages offer a quieter counterpoint to Savona's port energy.
