This tour is tailor-made for cruise travellers with constraints on their time but still eager to experience the must-see sights. However, the featured sights can be modified as per request: we’re flexible to exclude or include additional ones, or even concentrate more on a particular theme (such as Middle Ages, commerce & finance, music, and so forth).
-
Museo di Palazzo Reale - We’ll walk on the dock in front of the Royal Palace. Here the guests of the Mansion could embark directly, using a direct covered walkway, replaced with the modern highway
-
La Commenda di Pre - Lodging of the Crusaders in the Middle Ages, the building was meant for the hospitality and assistance to the pilgrims, and the departure for the ships to the Holy Land
-
Truogoli di Santa Brigida - This typical little square was one of the public wash houses used until the early XX century. The district has been recently renewed, and now is pleasant public space in the old town
-
Palazzi dei Rolli - In the Old Town there are plenty of elegant private residences that, when needed, were used since the 14th century for the hospitality of the illustrious guests of the Republic and for the clients of the Genoese bankers. In 2006, 42 of these mansions have been declared UNESCO Heritage.
-
Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari - Geometrical centre and heart of the city, the lively Piazza is a concentration of important institutions, such as the Ducal Palace, the Opera House, the New Stock Exchange, and the seat of the local government, the Regione Liguria
-
Cattedrale di San Lorenzo - Duomo di Genova - The Medieval cathedral dominates with its striped facade the lively district. Its richly frescoed interior houses the relics of the protector of Genova, St. John the Baptist
-
Chiesa del Gesu e dei Santi Ambrogio e Andrea - Masterpiece of the baroque architecture, this church is a triumph of gold and marbles, and contains amazing works of art, including two paintings by P.P. Rubens
-
Old Port - The seafront of Genova has been entirely renewed for the 1992 celebrations dedicated a C. Columbus. With the opening of the Aquarium it has become the iconic district
There are plenty of amusements, such as the Bigo (a panoramic lift), the Aquarium, the Wheel, etc. -
Galata Museo del Mare - No doubt this museum is one of the most interesting in town, so strictly connected with its deepest nature; a section is dedicated to Christopher Columbus, while the upper floor is entirely dedicated to the Emigration that has featured Italy in the past two centuries, and to the Immigration that features the whole continent in these days
- Experienced tour guide included
- The pavement tends to be uneven, and there are some steps here and there along the path, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs; no problem for babies with strollers, or pets.
