CROSIA VALLEYS TAGGIA Maurizio The main communication routes along the Riviera di Ponente are the A10 (the motorway
Porto
Nice Vallecrosia Santo Stefano between Genoa and Ventimiglia), and the SS1, or Via Aurelia (once a Roman road), which
Alta
BALZI Seborga SAN REMO Bussana runs parallel to the motorway at sea level, passing by all the main towns. The roads leading
ROSSI Vecchia into the interior are narrow and twisting, although they do pass through very beautiful
HANBURY VENTIMIGLIA
BOTANICAL BORDIGHERA countryside. The A6 (the motorway from Savona to Turin), gives access to Altare, Carcare
GARDENS and other towns located inland from the Riviera delle Palme. Regional, inter-regional and
intercity trains connect Genoa and Ventimiglia, with up to 15 trains a day. It is also possible
to get around using coaches, particularly if heading inland; the provincial coach companies
operate a good network of services.
