Imperia, a town on the Riviera of Flowers, is the capital of the western Ligurian province.

 

A predominantly industrial past, a renewed touristic vocation, Imperia offers its visitors breathtaking views and a wide variety of attractions for every type of need.

 

The city offer authentic experiences between the blue of the sea (BLUE FLAG in the last 3 years), the seabeds, the Cetacean Sanctuary, the sailing boats, the fishing tradition and the green of the hinterland, gently hilly, suspended between small villages, vineyards and terraced olive trees.

 

Olive oil has always been a symbol of Imperia excellence in the world.

 

The coast is characterized by a lively succession of sandy and pebble beaches. The colorful seaside villages, animated by the life of the marinas, offer typical views of Liguria.

 

The city enjoys a mild and sunny climate thanks to which it has earned the title of city of Italy with the best climate.

Imperia, a town with two centers

Imperia owes its name to the "Impero" torrent that separates Oneglia from Porto Maurizio once rivals cities.

Porto Maurizio, perched on the promontory of Parasio, was a major economic and commercial center already in the Middle Ages, and is now the touristic reference.

 

Oneglia, extending over the plain at the mouth of the Impero was founded after year 1000 AD, is becoming in the present days the commercial section of the town.

 

The tourist visiting Imperia is often surprised because in this town everything is double: there are two historic centers, two markets, two ports.

The Cycle Path of Imperia

3 km of course totally overlooking the sea and immersed in a splendid vegetation, full of parking areas and perfect panoramic points to admire the suggestive coast.

 

The cycle path of Imperia, a latest generation cycle and pedestrian track, in this first trunk connects San Lorenzo al Mare to Imperia-Borgo Prino, suggestive and completely overlooking the sea, allows you to observe its various shades, from dawn to sunset.

 

The cycle path, immersed in the typical vegetation of the Ligurian coast, is a perfect path for lovers of bicycle and walks in the open area, because it is simple to travel, as there are no differences in height.

 

The track is full of unique panoramic points, in which to stop and take a moment of pause. Along the way there are parking areas, which can be used to listen to music sitting on a bench observing the horizon, reading a sea view book, making a picnic or a short defective stop.

 

For lovers of walks at sunset or at night, Imperia's cycle path gives unforgettable moments thanks to suggestive lighting that together with an advanced video surveillance system allows you to enjoy the track even at night.

 

At the start of Borgo Prino you can find bars and restaurants as well as bike rental services.

 

During the course you will cross the Prarola gallery made suggestive by the spread of music and play of light. The name of the gallery derives from the antibarbaresca tower of Prarola, a more suggestive point of the track; the tower, an example of an ancient defensive system of the 1500s, and among the symbols of the city of Imperia and among the places most appreciated by locals and tourists.

 

In the coming months the cycle path will be completed, allowing the complete crossing of the town from the West to East.
