Dedicate your stay to discovering the city too! Stroll through the alleys of the historic center, admire the Spinola Palace, the Doge's Palace and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and reach the Lanterna lighthouse at sunset for an unrepeatable show.

Genoa wins you over with its simplicity emanating authenticity - and focaccia - with the mighty Lantern that silently watches over its waters. Stroll through the streets of Boccadasse, the seaside village with colourful houses overlooking the sea, and immerse yourself in the iconic Aquarium before contemplating the elegant medieval Cathedral of San Lorenzo.
