Via Giuseppe Garibaldi

Reviewed By DonaldHahn - State College, United States

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!

Museo di Palazzo Reale

Reviewed By backpacker31 - Boynton Beach, United States

Dating back to the early 1600’s when it was built for the Balbi family (subsequently owned and expanded by a succession of families), this massive home contains countless original items such as paintings, tapestries, furniture, sculptures, etc. The numerous rooms are decorated and arranged as if the homeowners will be returning shortly. The inner courtyard and garden provide a luxurious and tranquil environment. The top floor terrace offers sweeping city and port views. Each room has very informative literature (in several languages). A visit here was a step back to the golden era of Genoa’s seafaring history.

Dolceacqua

Reviewed By AdamD453 - Churchdown, United Kingdom

Nice little medieval town to have a stroll around, some quite steep hills though if you struggle with those. Castle wasn't open when we went, so make sure you get there early as it closes at 5pm! Note the restaurants don't open until 7pm, so we had to eat elsewhere as well. On a plus note, free parking! Worth a visit if nearby looking for sites to visit.

Palazzi dei Rolli

On 13 July 2006, the site"Genoa: le Strade Nuove and the system of the Palazzi dei Rolli" entered UNESCO’s World Heritage List of the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Forming an organic urban unit, the site is made up of late-Renaissance and Baroque streets and squares lined by over a hundred palaces belonging to the city’s noble families. The grandest residences, each with its own architectural style and individual character, were an official lists (Rolli), and lots were drawn to decide which palace would have the privilege of playing host to visiting state dignitaries. Often erected on sloping ground, the Palazzi dei Rolli were designed according to the sequence atrium-courtyard-grand staircase-gardens and boast richly decorated interiors. They embody a distinctive social and economic identity and mark the beginning of the era of modern urban architecture in Europe.

It's one of the best example in Europe of aristocrat palaces only in one street. Not to miss, especially during the rolli days

Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari

Reviewed By laczkozsu - Debrecen, Hungary

This lively square is the meeting point between the old and modern city. It's lively but not overcrowded. There are some famous buildings around: Opera House (Carlo Felice Theater), Doge's Palce (Palazzo Ducale), stock exchange palace. In the middle you can see the statue of Garibaldi and a modern fountain. We walked here several times during our 3 days staying.
