Genova truly comes to life during the day, and we were lucky to experience it on a sunny Sunday morning. We decided to take advantage of the quiet streets and explore the city early on. As we walked around, the streets were mostly empty, and the city had a serene quality to it. It was the perfect time to get a sense of the city’s layout and soak in the sights and sounds.
One of the highlights of our morning walk was visiting the port. The sun was just starting to rise and the water glimmered in the sunlight. The boats bobbed gently in the water, and the sound of seagulls added to the peaceful atmosphere. It was a beautiful and tranquil scene.


Genova is a compact city, and it can feel overwhelming upon first arrival, but with a little exploration, you’ll find that it’s easy to navigate. We found ourselves continually circling back to Piazza Ferrari, the city’s central hub. As we walked around, we discovered charming streets, historic landmarks, and hidden gems. It’s a city that reveals itself slowly, and it’s worth taking the time to explore.


This concludes our trip in Genova. The city has a unique charm that is hard to put into words. It’s a mix of the imperfect and the picturesque, the ancient and the modern. Despite the challenges we faced, we left the city feeling like we had discovered something special. We discovered the hidden gems of Genova and it was a reward in itself. The city may not be the most popular tourist destination in Italy, but it’s a place that will stay with us for a long time. We would recommend visiting Genova, with an open mind and a sense of adventure, you’ll be sure to discover something unique and beautiful.
