History and Culture: The Hidden Treasures of Genoa
Known as La Superba, Genoa is a city that hides treasures in every corner. Start your exploration in the historic center, one of the largest in Europe, where narrow alleys (the famous “caruggi”) and hidden squares await you. Don’t miss a visit to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its striking black and white striped facade, and the Doge’s Palace, once the residence of the doges and now a magnificent cultural center.
Next, stop by the renowned Aquarium of Genoa, the largest in Europe, where you can admire marine biodiversity in a spectacular setting. For a touch of green, head to the Gardens of Villa Durazzo Pallavicini, a charming example of an Italian historical garden.
Urban Adventure: Explore the Alleys and Heights
After savoring Genoa’s history, venture into its characteristic alleys to discover picturesque corners and a bohemian charm. For those who love panoramic views, don’t miss the Castelletto Levante elevator that will take you up to the Spianata Castelletto. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, capturing the essence of Genoa from a privileged vantage point.
Nature and Relaxation: Breathe in the Sea Air and Parkland
Nature lovers, prepare your motorhome for some rejuvenating stops. Just a short distance from the center, the Beigua Regional Natural Park offers hiking trails where you can immerse yourself in the local flora and fauna. And for a relaxing day, the Ligurian Riviera is just steps away, with its inviting beaches and crystal-clear sea, perfect for a refreshing swim after a day of exploration.
Cuisine: The Authentic Flavors of Genoa
Don’t forget to indulge in Genoese cuisine: try the renowned Genoese pesto, a regal sauce for pasta, ideal after a long day of discovery. And for a quick snack, Genoese focaccia is a must, perhaps enjoyed with a glass of local white wine.
