Rapallo is an Italian Riviera town between Genoa and the Cinque Terre. With a train station and reasonably priced hotels, it makes a good base for visiting other towns along the Ligurian coast. From town there’s a stunning ride up the hill on the cable railway to Montallegro with beautiful views of the sea and coast.
