Overview Of The Port Of Genoa
About Genoa
Genoa is located in north west Italy.
Places to visit include the Old Port with it's impressive Acquario di Genoa (Aquarium) and Genoa Cathedral, a Roman Catholic cathedral founded probably in the 5th or 6th century AD, devoted to Saint Sirus, bishop of Genoa.
The Palazzi dei Rolli is a group of palaces in Genoa, many of which are UNESCO World Heritage listed.
Santa Maria di Castello is a church and religious complex located in the Castello hill of the city, where a Roman fortress existed. It was erected before 900 AD.
A well known and popular promenade known as 'Anita Garibaldi' starts from the port of Nervi and ends at Capolungo port, around 2km away.
The village of Boccadasse is enclosed in a narrow bay, at the eastern side the cape of Santa Chiara with a castle (a new building in the style of a medieval castle) on the western side the rocks, and in the middle, a tiny cobblestone beach where the fisherman's boats rest. It is a popular tourist spot.
The main shopping areas are the streets near to Piazza De Ferraris. The best boutiques are on via XX Settembre, via Roma, and in the elegant Galleria Mazzini. Best buys include Italian olive oil, spices and wines.
Artisan studios and antique shops can be found at via Orefici and via Luccoli.
The old pastry shop Pietro Romanengo fu Stefano dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Here you can find Queen Elena of Savoy's famous confectionary treat 'Pistachio Torrone'.
Pizza and pasta restaurants are dotted all over the city and Genoa is famous for it's pesto.
