Sestri Levante

Two-day rail city break from Zurich to Sestri Levante, Liguria

Railtour Suisse offers this two-day, one-night city break to Sestri Levante, a town between two bays, the Baia del Silenzio and the Baia delle Favole, on the Ligurian coast. The package includes a 2nd class return train journey, direct from Zurich in summer (April to October), and one night in a 4-star hotel, with no guide or organized excursions included. The operator's highlights point to the old town, nearby Cinque Terre, and hiking trails in the area; optional boat excursions connect Rapallo, Santa Margherita Ligure, Sestri Levante and Portofino in high season. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so this suits independent travelers exploring the coast at their own pace.
