The village is bounded on the south by Porta Soprana, which has become the symbol of Cairo, and on the north by Porta Sottana. Today it is a pedestrian area bustling with stores and offices, with quaint alleys and small squares branching off from Via Roma. Walking along Via Roma from south to north through the historic center, one arrives at the large Victory Square, where the City Palace is located.

The reserve offers four hiking trails of outstanding scenic and natural beauty, traversed by the Ligurian Mountains High Road, which includes a stop at the Cascina Miera refuge.
