Bus to TURIISK from GENOVA - buy a ticket

Genua, or Genova in Italian, is a city in the northwest of Italy in the Liguria region. It is famous for its large port on the Ligurian Sea and is the sixth largest city in the country. Genova's location cascades - walking from the port, it seems to climb higher and higher up the mountain, every now and then providing great places to enjoy the views and take photos. For this reason, in addition to traditional forms of transportation, there are many railroads and elevators to make getting around easier.

Genua and surroundings - sightseeing

What to see in the city? The best place to start is the Old Port with the Galata Aquarium oceanarium and Maritime Museum, and see the Palazzo San Giorgio distinguished by its beautiful facade. A replica of the 17th-century Spanish galleon that starred in Roman Polanski's "Pirates" awaits tourists there. While in Genoa, take a stroll through the narrow streets called caruggi, viewing larger and smaller squares, historic churches and numerous palaces along the way. The most important church in the city is the 12th-century San Lorenzo Cathedral, with its rich collections of sacred art. Along and near Via Garibaldi Street one can find many historic palaces. 42 of them are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Genoa is also home to a 17th-century reconstruction of the house where Christopher Columbus lived.
