"Genoa austere, vibrant, spacious! Unique place from three hundred shelves terraced on the sea, adorned with stupendous parks! Genoa, where the tramways are the elevators! Streets and neighborhoods, overlapping, tangling, overtaking, rejoining, still dividing..."
Valery Larbaud
Genoa, an ancient and fascinating port city in Liguria, rises above the Ligurian Sea between hills and sea, offering a mix of history, culture and gastronomy. Its historic center, with its intricate Carruggi, is a maze of medieval alleys that open onto historic squares, churches, and monumental palaces.
Savoring Genoese cuisine is one of the richest experiences one can have in the Ligurian capital. The flavors of the mountains blend with hints of the sea, typical of a region that brings two opposing features of the land together in a culinary combination that is absolutely unique.
