About Ventimiglia
Ventimiglia rewards travellers who look past the border-town label: its medieval old town climbs steeply above the Roya river mouth, Roman ruins sit a short walk from the seafront, and the Friday market has drawn traders from both sides of the frontier for centuries. Start with the Ventimiglia Walking Tour: Medieval Old Town & Riviera to get your bearings among the carruggi, then range further afield on the Italian Riviera Escape: San Remo, Dolceacqua & Menton Day Trip, which links Ligurian and French heritage in a single day.
