Before you travel to Genoa by plane - good to know!

Many of the historic sights in Genoa are clustered around the Porto Atlantico and the Centro Storico, so walking is definitely an option for getting around. Travelers can easily wander from the Doge's Palace down the Via Garibaldi to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, before ending the day at the city's superb aquarium. However, it's also nice to explore less well-known corners of Genoa. The Galata Museum offers vital background about the city's seafaring past, and climbing the Lanterna lighthouse provides wonderful views. Many visitors also take the option of visiting nearby Cinque Terre - home to some of the most photogenic coastline in the world.
