Day trips · Chiavari

Chiavari’s lanes & arcades

Sheltered arcades, food shops and a lively old centre. A rewarding place to wander in ordinary showers.

WEATHER & DOG ACCESSRain 4/5 · Dogs: good outdoor fit

Good to know before you go

Allow 2–4 km of easy walking. Arcades offer useful shelter, but each shop and restaurant has its own dog policy.

The strongest showery-day town with your dog: covered arcades, browsing and food shops.

The meaningful drawback

Less dramatic coastal scenery than the headlands or Cinque Terre.
