Transfer and Taxi in Bordighera

Home begins at the front door, and a journey begins with a transfer.

How to get to Bordighera

Bordighera once enchanted Claude Monet and inspired him to paint more than 50 beautiful pictures. The great artist said: "Everything here is worthy of admiration; with each passing day the landscape grows more beautiful, and I am spellbound by this land."

Bordighera was founded in the fourth century BC and is one of the oldest towns in Italy. It began its history as a small fishing village. Today it is a popular resort with a mild climate, wide beaches and a wealth of exotic plants.

So where is this beautiful land, and how do you get there? Let's look at the map: Bordighera lies in northern Italy. Its nearest large neighbors are Genoa (150 km), Turin (200 km) and Milan (300 km), while its closest neighbor, Sanremo, is just 12 km away. Now let's sort out the transport. To begin with, let's try to save some money and soak up the local atmosphere at the same time.

You can travel from Genoa to Bordighera by train. The route is direct, with no changes. The first train leaves at five in the morning, and after that trains run every hour. The whole journey takes no more than three hours. You can also drive this route by car along the A10/E80 motorway.

You can also reach Bordighera by train from Milan. Trains leave the city's central station several times a day, and the journey takes no more than four hours.

From Sanremo, trains run every hour and will get you there in ten to fifteen minutes.

Taxi in Bordighera

Taxi fleets in Italy consist of affordable, compact cars. Their condition is strongly affected by the driving style and temperament of the drivers. Since 1992, all taxi drivers have been required to hold a licence, but not all of them do. The fine for this violation is issued not only to the driver but also to the passenger. That is why you need to choose a car that is not only in good working order, but also remember to check the licence.

So how do you tell an unlicensed driver from an official taxi? The first sign is the color: official taxis are painted yellow or white. Look under the door handle: there should be a plate reading "Servizio Pubblico". It shows the licence number, as well as the coat of arms and the name of the authority that issued the licence.

There should be a "Taxi" sign on the roof, and inside there should be a working, sealed taximeter. The driver must switch it on as soon as you get in and the car pulls away. Another sign of a legal taxi is the price list. It should be displayed inside the car and printed in four languages: Italian, French, English and German.

To avoid unpleasant situations and not have to scrutinize every taxi, book your transfer in advance with a reliable partner.
