Highlights
- Old Port - This is the prime tourist destination, revitalized by the Colombian Celebrations of 1992, which restored a vast area for leisure and entertainment to the city. The historic Palazzo San Giorgio stands prominently in this area.
- Centro storico di Genova - Wandering through the maze of medieval “caruggi” (alleyways), we will uncover small squares dominated by magnificent palaces and our captivating Historical Shops, which are part of the city’s cultural heritage.
- Cattedrale di San Lorenzo - Duomo di Genova - Leaving behind a relatively tranquil part of the historic city, the cathedral brings us back to the bustling and tourist-heavy area of Genoa, just steps away from the Palazzo Ducale.
- Palazzo Ducale - Once a symbol of the political power of the ancient Republic of Genoa, it is now fully dedicated to culture, hosting exhibitions, events, and featuring bars and restaurants to welcome visitors.
- Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari - The heart of the city, this square is surrounded by the most iconic buildings of modern Genoa and the Opera House. It marks the beginning of the city’s urban development in the 19th and 20th centuries.
- Via Garibaldi - The city’s most elegant street, lined with the splendid facades of residences built by Genoese bankers in the 16th and 17th centuries, known as the “Palazzi dei Rolli.”
