Ventimiglia Tourist Information

Ventimiglia

Ventimiglia is the first town over the Italian border. At the Friday market you will find clothes, accessories, household goods and food.

Tip: Be particularly careful not to buy designer fakes as you can be fined very heavily for buying counterfeit goods - double the value of the real thing

Cigarettes and alcohol are considerably cheaper in Italy, by the way. The train station is bang in the middle of town and just a short walk towards to the beach is where you will find the market.

Tip: Watch your bag and particularly your credit cards at Ventimiglia station.

Avoid going by car in July and August - bad traffic jams on a Friday.

Stop at Bar Cordon Bleu at Via Roma 19 for a drink or coffee. The owners are very friendly and the staff efficient - and a large beer costs 4.30€.

Lunch at Hanbury restaurant, Via Hanbury 4, is an experience. Try an octopus starter or a squid pasta. An excellent red wine is Nero from Sicily price 20€. It's very near the station

Another

place for lunch and cheaper is Caffe Parigina, 34 Via Cavour, the main road. Two course meals from 8.50€ to 12.90€.

If you have the time stay in the evening and go to a concert or opera at Teatro Communale.
