Holiday information

 

Genoa

The city of Genoa has had a long and proud tradition as a seafaring port and during the early Middle Ages Genoese merchants vied with their counterparts from Venice for control over the Mediterranean. This was the age of great exploration and discovery in the New World and it is perhaps no coincidence that both Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus) and Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) were born here. Delve into the city's rich history as you explore the narrow alleyways, ancient churches and Renaissance-style palaces of the Old Town, using our included walking notes to guide you round.

Sightseeing

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • Notes for a self-guided walking tour included
    Discover Genoa's key sights and hidden gems on our self-guided city walking tour. The main features include the Piazza de Ferrari, around which are the Opera and the Palace of the Doges; the monumental Via Garibaldi; and the vibrant narrow streets and alleys of the Old Town. There is also the house where Christopher Columbus is said to have been born and various attractions at 'Porto Antico', the historic centre of the port, with its many waterfront shops and eateries.
  • Delve into the past
    During the early-nineteenth century, Genoa’s leading citizens, led by its principal statesman, Giuseppe Mazzini, played a crucial role in the unification of Italy, which was achieved in 1861. A museum to the man who propounded a ‘United States of Europe’ way back in the 1860s is just one of many you can visit in the city. Others include the Red and White Palaces, the Museum of World Cultures and the Museo del Tesoro, which houses the silver platter that reputedly displayed the head of John the Baptist.
  • Piazza Castello & the Corso Italia
    For a bird’s eye view over the city, we recommend taking the elevator from Piazza del Portello up to Piazza Castello; or take the funicular to Chiesa di Sant'Anna from where you can walk back down to the city. Alternatively, enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Corso Italia, a seafront promenade that runs for 2.5 kilometres towards the promontory of Portofino and the small lighthouse of Punta Vagno.

We offer a choice of two hotels, both ideally located for exploring the city. Please state your preference when booking.

    A really fabulous holiday. We took train journeys up and down the coastal villages following Inntravel walking routes. Weather was glorious and we had such picturesque /stunning views. The walks are challenging and we'd say sticks were essential. We saw all the Cinque Terres (our favourite possibly Manarola) but equally stunning and quieter were the other villages to the north. Edera hotel is fabulous, (staff are so helpful) and in a perfect position to access trains. We added on the Genoa city walking day and enjoyed exploring all the lovely historic areas as well as a visit to the superb aquarium. Probably one of our most enjoyable holidays to date and certainly stunning. Thanks Inntravel and thanks to the colleague who helped me sort out a flight ticket problem!

    Boat trips around the Cinque Terre were excellent as was the hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus tour around Genoa.

    The Quiet Side of the Italian Riviera is a great holiday for those wanting a really comfortable, luxurious hotel and the option to choose a lazy day, long or short walks or even a  day on the beach in response to personal preference or local weather conditions. Moneglia is a delightful town  with nice beach and shops and restaurants and indeed less busy than the cinque terre villages. The train is easy to use. The hotel is relaxed and while the Michelin star restaurant is there for foodies, Eds Bistro also provides an interesting menu and  fewer corses if you so choose.
    We loved Grand Hotel Sevoia (Genoa add on) - timeless, with much reference to its special place in Genoa's history. Palazzos full of wonderful art are a great treat and just wandering the old streets and newly developed harbour area was an enjoyable end to a great holiday.

    Good holiday. Timings to Portofina and Portovenere should be looked at as breakfast is served from 8:00am but the first trains you can get without missing breakfast means you cannot start walking until after midday. Hotel was prefect, good sized and clean room. Hotel restaurant was great, as was the Bistro too. Had a very good meal at Assirto and Julia's was another place we liked. We had a very good meal at Soho in Genoa. Overall would recommend this as a very good holiday.

    Overall we rated this holiday very highly, the Hotel Edera is an excellent base to visit the Cinque Terre national park and Moneglia is noticeably quieter than the Cinque Terre villages themselves which can get quite busy with visitors. Moneglia has a nice beach for swimming. The walking is energetic, quite steep ascents and descents but the views are very rewarding and scenery spectacular. The town of Portovenere is also worth a visit by boat and try to allow a reasonable period of time to have a look around. We would recommend the city add on to Genoa as this is a good contrast to the Cinque Terre coastal walking and convenient when flying back to the UK from the city airport.
