Why GENOVA is the perfect holiday destination
Genoa is the Liguria that surprises: not a beach resort like Camogli or Rapallo, but a layered metropolis where medieval Gothic alleyways meet the Baroque elegance of the Palazzi dei Rolli (UNESCO Heritage) and the energy of the Old Port redesigned by Renzo Piano. Choosing a CasaViva apartment in Genoa means living like a local: neighbourhood markets, trattorias in the caruggi serving authentic farinata, Recco focaccia and mortar-ground pesto. And by train, Camogli, Rapallo and Santa Margherita are less than an hour away.
Palazzi dei Rolli (UNESCO)
The noble palaces of the historic centre, once used to host royal visitors, are today UNESCO World Heritage. Strade Nuove and Via Balbi are the most celebrated.
Old Port
The medieval harbour redesigned by Renzo Piano: the Genoa Aquarium (the largest in Europe), the Bigo, the Galeone Neptune and the Galata sea museum.
Genoese cuisine
Genoa invented pesto, focaccia, farinata and minestrone. In the caruggi you can still eat as in the old days, in trattorias with no signs outside.
World-class museums
Palazzo Rosso, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Spinola hold works by Van Dyck, Rubens, Caravaggio and the great Genoese masters of the 17th century.
Experiences
Things to do in GENOVA
The medieval caruggi
Genoa's medieval historic centre is one of Europe's largest. Getting lost among its alleyways is the most authentic experience the city offers.
Genoa Aquarium
Europe's largest aquarium with over 70 tanks and 12,000 animals. A must with children, enchanting for adults too.
Belvedere Castelletto lift
The public panoramic lift climbs to the Belvedere with spectacular views over Genoa and its port. Tiny cost, guaranteed emotion.
Recco focaccia and pesto
In Genoa focaccia is thin, oily and baked in a tray. And pesto is still made in the mortar. Two unmissable gastronomic experiences.
Reaching GENOVA
How to get to GENOVA
By car
A7, A10 and A12 motorways with several city exits: Genova Ovest for the Porto Antico and the centre, Genova Est for the Brignole area.
By train
Two main stations, Genova Piazza Principe and Genova Brignole. Direct trains from Milan in about 1h40, Turin in 2 hours, Rome in 4.
By plane
Cristoforo Colombo Airport is just 7 km from the centre: Volabus shuttle to the stations in 30 minutes, or train from nearby Sestri Ponente.
By sea
In summer, boats leave the Porto Antico for Camogli, San Fruttuoso and Portofino. Genoa is also the Tyrrhenian's main cruise and ferry port.
The right season
When to visit GENOVA
Spring
Perfect temperatures for exploring the caruggi and the palaces. In May, the Rolli Days open the UNESCO palaces to visitors for free.
Summer
The city empties out and the Porto Antico fills with evening events. An ideal base for the Riviera beaches by train. Book early for July and August.
September
The golden month: still-summery weather, a warm sea 30 minutes away by train, falling prices and a city coming back to life. The smartest time to visit.
Autumn & winter
Mild climate, museums without queues and the theatre season. Rates at their lowest and the old town at its most authentic.

How do you get around Genoa?
