What to see and do in Genoa

Genoa developed as a trading centre ever since the Middle Ages and it is nowadays one of the crucial commercial hubs in our country, poised between Italy and France. During the Renaissance it was one of the most important Italian cultural reference points, hosting one of the first and most prestigious higher education centres. It is also known as the birthplace of Christopher Colombus, who contributed to shaping Genoa’s fame in the world as an active, bold maritime city. The city’s palaces and monuments date back to different eras and will make you travel through the many stages of history of art, from Gothic to Renaissance to Baroque to Neoclassicism, and of Genoa’s urban development and modernization. Stretching on a 34-kilometres-long arch on the Italian northwest coastal line, Genoa’s territory embraces a multifaceted identity, both from a cultural and from a panoramic point of view. Poised between mountains and seas, located right at the centre of the two sides of Ligurian Riviera, it a place where the soul can find almost anything it craves for. Genoa is also the perfect starting point to explore the coastal line and all its beautiful villages, such as Portofino, or embark upon a ferry directed to Sardinia or Corsica, where you can choose between beautiful fine white sand beaches and challenging hiking trails.
