Genova, a gem nestled on the sparkling Ligurian Sea, vibrates with a life force unlike any other. This captivating port city, cradled between the embrace of Italy and France, offers an experience that belies its size. Within its historic walls, grand palaces adorned with frescoes stand sentinel next to bustling harborfronts, and the scent of freshly baked focaccia mingles with the salty tang of the sea breeze. Genova isn't just a playground for the wealthy, but a city steeped in a rich history that unfolds on every cobblestone street, welcoming every curious explorer with open arms. This guide includes: - introductory note - places to visit (photo spots, museums and cultural venues,, open squares, beaches and others) - restaurants, coffeeshops and sweets spots - photo spots Get to see more from my travels on my Instagram (@pedralexpereira) and Flickr (flickr.com/photos/pedralexpereira)

Genoa, my city, is a culinary paradise just waiting to be explored. After 7 years now leading food tours in Genoa I have handpicked for you +130 addresses from my life and work experiecne. Most of places are old traditional business and non-tourist places. For each address you will find my personal review + my suggestions on what to eat/drink/order/shop like a local!
