About Savona
Savona sits on the western section of the Italian Riviera, facing the Ligurian Sea, and ranks as the fourth-largest cruise port by passenger volume in all of Italy. As a major maritime hub, Savona serves as the primary Mediterranean homeport for Costa Cruises. Ships berth at the modern Palacrociere terminal, which opened in 2003 and sits within an easy walking distance from downtown across a convenient pedestrian bridge.
The city itself boasts deep historical roots. Adjacent to the historic center, the port has been active since the Middle Ages and has long remained vital to the regional economy. The celebrated navigator Christopher Columbus once farmed land in the area while chronicling his journeys from a rustic cottage situated in the surrounding Savona hills. History enthusiasts can also explore the imposing Priamar fortress, built by the Genoese in 1542, which now houses the Museum Centre of Priamar directly on the grounds of the old medieval city.
The local climate along the Riviera remains mild and pleasant throughout the year. Average daytime temperatures hover around 19 degrees Celsius, rising to a warm 28 degrees Celsius during July and August, while summers stay predominantly dry with rainfall arriving mostly in the autumn months. Beyond cruise operations, Savona maintains robust connections beyond its shores, offering daily ferry services to Corsica, Barcelona, and Tangier. Visitors looking to explore beyond the immediate harbor will find charming piazzas, local artisan markets, and authentic Ligurian eateries serving regional specialties like farinata. The city lovingly holds onto traditional local rhythms, meaning most independent shops close down for a classic midday break between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
