Genoa is an ancient port city and a former maritime republic, where history is intertwined with the sea element and merchant shine. The narrow streets of the old town, the facades of the palazzo and the rich heritage of trade traditions create a unique atmosphere: the waves of the port and the echoes of medieval squares are heard here, and the combination of architecture of different eras makes each route a living discovery.
The handmade sights of Genoa are impressive in diversity: The old seaport, one of the largest in the Mediterranean, the famous promenade and piers, the church of San Pietro on Piazza Banchi and the majestic cathedral of San Lorenzo. Square de Ferrari is the center of urban life, the stadium Luigi Ferraris attracts sports fans, and the monument to Mahatma Gandhi and the cozy pedestrian Via Rome add a modern and human look to the city. The most valuable Romanesque colonnade of the Church of San Andrea and the Church of Saints Ambrosia and Andrew hold the religious and artistic treasures of the region, and Portofino with Roman heritage Portus Delphini complements the list of iconic sites.
The natural corners and coastal landscapes around Genoa are no less attractive: the picturesque promenade of Camoglia with colorful fishing lodges, the Ligurian coast and the eastern section of the Levante along the Roman Aurelius road offer views of the azure sea, rocky coves and secluded beaches.
