Spring is magical in Genoa. Enjoy the first rays of the sun surrounded by its wonderful atmospheres.
Come here for an exciting weekend to immerse yourself in the thousands shades of #Genova More Than This.
Discover the city, which De André’s songs describe with tenderness and irony. Stroll through the small alleys of the historic centre, admiring the splendid architectures of churches and of the Palazzi dei Rolli, Unesco World Heritage; dive into the past with a tour of the “botteghe storiche”, breathe the sea breeze and collect unique moments in front of extraordinary landscapes at the Porto Antico, or Castelletto and Boccadasse.
Mingle with others at the mercato Orientale, in a triumph of flavours, perfumes and colours…
Or stop for a tasty break at one of the typical Sciamadde of Sottoripa or in one of the many trattorias and restaurants where you can taste presto and many other typical Genoese dishes.
The Palazzo Ducale of Genova is a prestigious location for many exhibitions and is worth a visit for its majestic spaces and the fascinating mystery of the Torre Grimaldina and the dungeons.
It is always pleasant to spend some time at the Porto Antico.
Here you can visit the Galata, the museum of the sea, and the Nazario Sauro submarine, docked at the pier, the pirate’s galleon, the Biosfera the panoramic lift Bigo, the Città dei bambini e dei ragazzi, shops, restaurants and one of Eataly’s sales outlet… It is impossible to get bored! Here you can find ferries that will bring on a tour of the Port of Genoa and on whale watching and on boat sailing excursions. This big square is always animated by some event, such as the Festa della Sport (18th – 20th May), when children and teenagers can take on many sports and meet their favourite champions for one day.
The Acquario di Genova is a show for the eyes! It is an occasion to closely admire the magical sea world and get to know its most incredible aspects.
If you love open air activities and want to spend the day in nature not far from the sea, discover the Forts of Genoa by mountain bike or on foot.
