Genova

A city to visit, to discover, to love

A city with a thousand faces, but wears no masks. Genoa always looks different, at every hour of the day, from every angle, and yet unable to lie. Authentic in its popular districts, its carruggi, but also in its elegant neighbourhoods.

Genoa is a seaside and a land city, with a mild climate all year round, set between a horizontal and vertical perspective that spills over into the mountains, through flowering parks, patrician villas, and fortifications.

It has one of the largest historical centres in Europe, an impressive cultural heritage, with wide green spaces, fascinating hiking trails, cosy corners like precious hamlets, and great contemporary architecture.

A city of a thousand faces, hybrid by nature, multicultural like all port cities, yet with its own distinct personality, reflected in the shops, markets and cultural ferment.

Unforgettable flavours of the most authentic Mediterranean cuisine, embodied in the fragrance of pesto and focaccia, of blue fish, of aromatic herbs.

Dynamic in all its manifestations, Genoa retains the imprint of history, and yet brazenly looks to the future. Genoa is European Capital of Sport 2024, another important recognition that will bring to the city a rich calendar of sporting events for all tastes!

The ancient maritime republic that rivalled Venice has been reincarnated into a city that lives at the pace of the contemporary world.
