Top 5 travel tips
Genoa has an interesting historical centre with many narrow cobbled streets, beautiful squares and beautiful Baroque and Renaissance buildings. The Cathedral of San Lorenzo dates from the 14th century and presents different architectural styles as well as valuable paintings and sculptures inside. Visit also the museums Palazzo Rosse and Palazzo Bianco, where precious furniture and works of art are exhibited.
2. Gain an insight into the world of marine lifeThe Aquarium of Genoa, which is the second largest aquarium in Europe, offers a good mix of knowledge and entertainment.
