Overview of your Genoa tour:

Let's wander through the city's enchanting "carrugi"—narrow alleys that always guide you back to the shimmering sea. Daring to get lost in Genoa is one of the most delightful experiences a curious visitor with some time on their hands can have, because you can never truly lose your way here—not least due to the fact that, amid ups & downs, elevators, funiculars, hills & narrow alleys, you always end up at the sea! A sea born to be challenged, explored & conquered, which made it Italy's formidable Maritime Republic. From the Old Port, we'll set off to discover “La Superba” among charming little squares, intimate churches, multiple cathedrals, medieval decorations, gilded stuccoes, trompe-l’oeil frescoes slate & marble portals. We'll be sure to ascend to "Castelletto" by lift; which as the poet Giorgio Caproni described it, feels like reaching Paradise. And we won’t miss the chance to sample something typical—a piece of focaccia or pandolce, or for the more indulgent, a gelato with a hint of panera flavour!
