Genoa, the capital of Liguria, regally located in the heart of the Riviera!
A large sea port, an architectural wonder, a fascinating city of art, Genoa is one of Italy’s best kept secrets. With its alluring charm and a great artistic heritage, Genoa’s medieval center - the largest in Europe and partly a UNESCO site – is an intricate maze of alleys. Here, among traditional shops and little restaurants, you can breathe the noble past of the city. Strolling around, you will marvel at remains of medieval buildings, XVI century frescoed Palaces, Baroque votive chapels and beautiful churches overlooking picturesque squares.
As you discover this unique mix, you will mingle with the locals and have the chance to really experience Italians’ daily life. With your professional tour guide you will enjoy a city tour of “Le Strade Nuove and the System of Palazzi dei Rolli" - the wonderfully ornate and very original private residences belonging to the city’s aristocratic families - and visit inside The Palazzo Ducale, one of the city’s most admired symbols. In 2006, "Genoa: Le Strade Nuove and the System of the Palazzi dei Rolli" was included in UNESCO’s World Heritage list. The site is part of an urban design model mainly consisting of two streets dating from the Modern Age, the so-called "Strade Nuove" built by the city’s wealthiest and most powerful aristocratic families to erect their residences on the edge of the historic centre during the 16th and 17th century.
