Activities in Genoa

Genoa

Brightly painted houses, wooden shutters and the screeching of several seagulls at magnificent palazzi in the warm morning sun. This is the true Genoa, which reveals its uniqueness only to those who are off the beaten path. Genoa is a city that wants to be explored on foot. It is only in the shadows of narrow streets that meander between the lively harbour promenade with the ancient lighthouse of Genoa and the old town, that the flair of the former seafaring town comes to life. Walk in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus, explore the ornate frescoed Genoa Cathedral and enjoy La dolce Vita Liguria with freshly baked focaccia and an ornately decorated cappuccino while watching the ships come into the harbour. Genoa is not only rich in culture and architecture, but also a veritable treasure trove of wildly romantic beaches that line up like a string of pearls from the centre right up the coastline. Genoa therefore offers both city and beach holidays at the same time.
