Genoa Audio guided walking tour 1h50 and 21 audio reviews

Bianco, Rosso and Doria-Tursi, neither one nor two, here is the shock trio of Palazzi Rolli gathered!

1 palace, 2 palaces, 3 palaces and it does not stop... No more doubts, Genoa does have an aristocratic DNA.

Discovering Genoa without stopping by its port is a bit like skipping the first chapter of a novel. The one without whom we quickly lack the foundations to truly understand and appreciate the narrative that awaits us

In the crossing of the port of Genoa, there is a monument that cannot be missed: the Palazzo San Giorgio. For 3 obvious reasons: its size, history and pace.

To say that Genoa is the regional capital of Liguria and the first port of Italy, are two strict truths in their own right. But they are also two reducing attributes on that which really is the Superba dall’Italia.

But what would the centro storico of Genoa be without this emblematic site of interest? The answer, we give you: not as special.

With more than 120 palaces to its credit, Genoa could have fallen into this strange Impression of permanent déjà vu. But needless to say, these prestigious addresses stand out from each other in terms of size, colour, appearance or orientation.

You know Genoa, maritime. Genoa, the aristocrat. Genoa, the gourmet. But what about Genoa, the defensive? It is true that so far, we have not seen much of it.

On the way between the Porta Soprana and the house of Christopher Columbus, a stone silhouette timidly stands out from the vegetation. You see her? This is the cloister of Sant’Andrea.

Christopher Columbus, obviously that name speaks to you. But certainly not as much as in Genoa. From him, we know in particular his deep passion for exploration with a great E.

After so much walking, who would refuse a short photo shoot? Here, the model posing in front of you is the Via XX Settembre. Another of the favorite arteries of the Genoese.

To accompany the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, Genoa holds a collection of churches with incredible architectural heritage. Let’s take Santo Stefano Church by your side.

The great followers of this practice will confirm, shopping at the Point of Sale provides a set of incalculable benefits. For the mind as for the body.

As we tell you, we repeat, Genoa is a history book that, without its always port activity, would never have been so entertaining.

A few notes of lyrical songs, here is the universe of Genoese Attraction right in front. In 1828, after two years of work by architect Carlo Barabino, the Carlo Felice Theatre was inaugurated. Without even being finished.

While most Genoese use the bustling Via Roma on their way, some prefer to sneak discreetly into the parallel axes.

One thing is certain: when we talk about Italy, Genoa is not the first city that comes to mind. Yet its little-known and discreet side pushes more and more curious to defy the a priori of this city severely judged dirty and industrial.

Via Garibaldi, you're finally here. Why do the Genoese, overtaken by visitors, have only these two little words in their mouths? Probably because of the splendor and the very special elegance of this avenue.

Sometimes the best way to appreciate a city is to contemplate it again. In Genoa, there is a perfect site to do this: the Castelletto lookout.

In Via Garibaldi, look up a shot on the right, look up a shot on the left is the reflex to take and repeat more than once.

“The first palace I saw was the Palais Brignole; red facade, marble staircase straight ahead,” Gustave Flaubert wrote in his Notes de Trips in 1845. Today, almost 200 years later, it’s your turn to enjoy this same scenography.
