More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the train into brine-scented air and a cliffside of color — houses stacking like a deck of cards above a bright Mediterranean strip. The day stretches long: morning rails from Rome through Umbria and Tuscany, then the sharp coastal crescents of Liguria that hug the sea. Waves dare the cliffs below as terraces of vines and olive trees cling to rock.
