Summer in Finale Ligure is not just a season: it’s a state of mind. It is that light, vital energy that you breathe in among the waves of the sea, the paths immersed in the Mediterranean scrub, and the cobbled alleys of the villages, where a breeze scented with salt air blows, between a hike at dawn and a concert under the stars. It’s not just a vacation, but an invitation to live each day to the fullest, savoring that unmistakable blend of beauty and freedom, adventure and contemplation.

With this special issue of My Perfect Place, we celebrate the Summer Vibes of Finale Ligure, the summer rhythm that runs through the city with events, discoveries, and encounters. We are guided by three inspiring themes—Sport & Adventure, Live & Explore, Relax & Wellness—which describe a region ready to welcome every traveler, with over 50 experiences selected and proposed in the new “Summer Vibes 2025” catalog: an invitation to let yourself be surprised, to slow down and then start again, to look at our surroundings with new eyes.

There are starry nights within the walls of Castel Gavone, walks with archaeologists along the Altopiano delle Mànie plateau, workshops for children at the Archaeological Museum, and concerts at dawn on the FInalpia pier. But also the deep breath of kayaking excursions in the Bergeggi Marine Protected Area, swimming in the Blue Trails, diving among the submerged biospheres of Nemo’s Garden, cycling through olive groves and ridges suspended above the sea. Every experience—whether fixed or by reservation—is passionately curated by local guides, sports and cultural organizations, and operators who believe in the authentic value of hospitality.

These pages also showcase the city’s creative pulse: over 180 events will enliven the summer, including music, theater, literature, and historical reenactments. From the big names in Italian culture to the return of the “Journey into the Middle Ages,” to music festivals with major international guests, each event becomes part of a single shared narrative, capable of uniting identity and innovation.

A comprehensive and coordinated offering of events and discovery activities, the result of a vision of tourism that combines experience, culture, and nature. Tourism that listens to the territory and recounts it through the voices of those who experience it every day.
