"Città di Mare" Genoa by draguza

Genoa Travel Guide: 728 reviews and 1,882 photos

You can feel the smell of the sea

Genoa, or Genova in Italian, has a rich history dating back to ancient times, but it's probably best known for Christopher Columbus, its most famous native celebrity. It has long been associated with the arts, and in 2004 the European Union designated Genoa as a European Capital of Culture. In 2006, a mid-16th century district on Via Garibaldi that houses an architecturally important ensemble of Renaissance and Baroque palaces was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

Genoa typically serves as a port of embarkation or disembarkation, so it isn't often given high priority as a shore excursion
