The best hotels in Genoa, more than this
In recent years, Genoa has quickly reached a prominent place among the most important Italian tourist destinations, in particular among the cities of art.
Despite being a medium to large city, it is possible to visit Genoa on a 2-day tour. In fact, most of the places of interest are located in the center and can be easily reached on foot. Given the fairly mild climate, the Ligurian capital can be visited at any time of the year. The best way to reach the city is by train or, at most, by plane for those coming from afar. The car is strongly not recommended. The city is always congested, the whole center is pedestrianized or reserved for buses and parking lots are expensive.
The charm of this city squeezed between the mountain and the sea, fragmented between past and present, crossroads of different peoples and cultures, has struck writers, poets and songwriters, who in their verses have told of its beauty, its contrasts, its soul hidden. The historic center of Genoa is the nucleus of the Old City, a place full of history and charm that after years of neglect and decay has finally been restored and returned to the city.
After a short walk to the Porto Antico and maybe a trip on the Bigo, the lift from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the city, you cannot miss a visit to the main attractions of the city, Galata the Museum of the Sea, the area of Porto Antico and the Aquarium of Genoa, the largest aquarium in Europe.
Do not miss the oldest part of Genoa, the typical alleys of the old part of the city. The area that includes these typical streets, a UNESCO heritage site, goes from Piazza della Nunziata to Piazza De Ferrari.
When we talk about cooking and good food, even discounted things have their value, so for Genoa we can't help but recommend, first of all, a good plate of pasta with pesto, and then, a good piece of focaccia.
Genoa offers many solutions to stay overnight. Strategic is the location near the central station, the starting point for the city exploration. The entire city center, which contains the main sightseeing points of the city, can be visited on foot. Here you can find a selection of hotels perfect for your holidays.
