The 10 Best Historic Walking Areas in Genoa, Liguria

September 8, 2021 Roger Rusk

Wandering the narrow caruggi alleyways of Genoa is a bit like solving a medieval labyrinth. In the heart of the Italian port city lies Piazza de Ferrari, a main square with a beautiful fountain and a perimeter lined with historic buildings, including the Palace of the Doges the Teatro Carlo Felice, which was destroyed during WWII and subsequently rebuilt. The seaside neighborhood of Boccadasse is vision of pink and yellow buildings that brighten up this lovely fishing village.

Via Giuseppe Garibaldi

Narrow Alley Lined With Wonderful Aristocratic Urban Palazzos in the great maritime trading rival to Venice. We took a slow walking tour down the street, admiring its amazing architecture, mostly from the Reniissance and the Baroque Age. MUST SEE!

Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi a Nervi

Reviewed By valerier661 - South Haven, United States

We arrived by cruise ship, walked 10-15 min to the train and then took the train from Genoa to Nervi. It cost about 2 euro and the ride was only about 15 min. The entrance to the Anita Garibaldi promenade is steps to the left of the Nervi train station. We spent the entire afternoon there. Waves were crashing into the cliffs and it was fun to time the waves that might splash onto the winding walkway. The views are breathtaking with museums and a couple of restaurants/bars along the way. I must have taken 100 pictures. This is nature at its finest. I would highly recommend this as a side trip from Genoa.

Mura della Citta

Genoa boasts the longest wall of any city in Europe, with major sections dating from the mid-12th to early 17th centuries intact and recalling highlights of the city's history, protecting itself against invasions from land and sea. Exploring the walls is not complete without going to the Parco urbano delle mura -- a 13-km stretch of wall (only the great wall of China is longer) and its string of forts.
