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.

Things to do in GENOVA

Culture

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.

Family

Genoa Aquarium

Europe's largest aquarium with over 70 tanks and 12,000 animals. A must with children, enchanting for adults too.

Views

Belvedere Castelletto lift

The public panoramic lift climbs to the Belvedere with spectacular views over Genoa and its port. Tiny cost, guaranteed emotion.

Food

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.

Frequently asked questions about GENOVA

Is it worth staying in Genoa rather than a seaside town?

The caruggi have a complicated reputation, but the historic centre is increasingly frequented and cherished. The areas near the Old Port, Palazzo Ducale and Via Garibaldi are perfectly safe and lively.

How do you get around Genoa?

Genoa has a metro, buses, panoramic lifts and funiculars. The historic centre is best explored on foot. For the hillside areas there are spectacular historic routes.

Can you do day trips to the Riviera from Genoa?

Very easily. Camogli in 25 min, Rapallo in 40 min, Santa Margherita in 50 min, Cinque Terre in 1.5 hours. All reachable by train without a car.
