Whalewatching: a splendid day out by boat to the Whale Sanctuary in the open sea.

In addition every year the Traditional Games are organised in Finale Ligure. Children are invited to play in a number of places outdoors. Just as their predecessors would have done hundreds or even thousands of years ago, they play games such as hide and seek, spinning tops and hopscotch. And you shouldn't miss the spectacle of the mediaeval festival, held in the ancient walled town of Finalborgo, one of the most beautiful in Italy. This procession of players in mediaeval costume with banners and music is held every year in the third week of August.
