Ventimiglia

Ventimiglia is a town in Liguria, Italy.

From Nice it can be reached by the SNCF (the french railway company) train via Monaco. The adult fare from Nice is € 6.40 for adults / € 4.80 for youth (12-25 years) (as august 2010). For the tickets you will need the amount in coins or an EC/Maestro debit card. Beware that in Ventimiglia the automats are often out of service.

Ventimiglia has an awesome medieval old town, which is not meant for tourism but rather a place where normal inhabitants live. It has also a beautiful view of the beach in its highest point.

See the remainings of a Roman theatre (century 2nd ) and the traces of the ancient city walls. The ruins of the ancient Albintimilium are situated in the plain of Nervia, c. 5 km to the east of the modern town.
