Chiavari

I studied in Chiavari for a summer, and it was incredible. It’s a great little town with good food and fun bars, and is close to Genova, the Cinque Terre, Sestri Levante, Santa Margherita, Portofino, and a few hours’ train ride from Milano, Firenze, Pisa, and Venezia.

If you go, eat at Luchin, and the Bavarian Pub (get the french fries). Also, get a drink at the Bar Pippo, and take pictures in every square.
