We have been coming to Liguria for over 30 years and never made it to the botanical gardens at Ventimiglia. We really should have come sooner! It’s spread over 9 hectares, nearly 22.5 acres, on the side of a, sometimes, vertiginous cliff. You are given a map with your entry ticket and directed to follow the red arrow route. The guide book suggests an hour to an hour and a half to visit the gardens. It took us that long just to get down to the bottom. Once there there is a small coffee shop with cold drinks, panini and ice cream. Rest awhile there, you’ll need to because it took us the best part of an hour to climb back up to the top and the exit. Saying that it was so definitely worth it. Spectacular views and amazing plants. Definitely worth another visit. Go prepared, a comfortable pair of shoes and bring water. There are numerous benches to rest on with great views and photo opportunities abound. Standard adult €9 with discounts for concessions, including RHS membership.
