Travelling in Imperia with a Car Hire

The Museum of Olives is located in one of the influential olive harvesting areas (at 13 Via Garessio) along the Mediterranean Sea, providing optimum soil quality and climate which allows olive trees to thrive. The thriving olive groves sprawl through the Western Riviera from the coast to the mountainous interior where high altitudes have provided the perfect conditions for olive cultivation throughout thousands of years. Housed in Art Nouveau building since the 1920's, it was remodeled to better showcase the exquisite collection of relics donated by the Carli family, whose influence still permeates the community. The exhibits illustrate the historical importance of the growth of olive products and civilizations of the area, covering 6,000 years of olive culture.

Tabernacles of Marcarolo National Park is about an hour away from city center and provides the great location for a day trip with your car hire in Imperia. Found at the southern most part of the Providence of Alessandria, the mountainous terrain offers a plethora of unique fauna and flora. 8,200 hectares of pine forest stretch to elevations of 1,172 meters at the parks highest peak, Mount Tobbio. Abundant rainfall allows for rich green plant life to thrive, to include the wild tulip, a plant that is almost exclusive to the area. After exploring the many walking trails and cattle paths that traverse the landscape, make a visit to the Ecological Museum at the parks south end. The museum covers the history of the people that live in the mountains, their culture, cuisine, and trading practices. There is a gallery of photographs, as well as an area that features regular documentary viewings.
