Historic Shops

Guided Tour of the Historic Shops - Itinerary 2

A guided tour in the charm of the Historical Shops, an immense heritage that Genoa has kept and has preserved over time. A rich selection of historic shops of the old city centre, which you can admire from the outside, a suggestive tour among flavours and traditions, curious stories and anecdotes dedicated to the monuments located nearby.

Five different itineraries alternate over the weekends and include a tasting or the delivery of a package of typical products by one of the Historic Shops visited along the way.

Itinerary 2 winds along a path to discover some of the Historic Shops with a taste of the tradition by the Fabbrica Cioccolato Viganotti, founded in 1866. The shop, in the heart of the Old Town, preserves the original floor as well as the counter, the shelves and the wooden cupboards with glass doors. The historic products (pralines, Scorzette d’arancia, Croccantini, Cremini) are the result of a long and careful manual process.
