Genoa

Genoa was almost cut for time from our trip. In our research there was no BIG attraction there, but almost everything we saw was just very nice.

Today, we decided to take a day trip from Turin to Genoa and we were glad we did.

Every part of Genoa we walked through was beautiful. The streets had amazing architecture, the churches were ornate, and the old town was cute. It felt like it was in its original condition more so than other Italian cities. Not upgraded, but well maintained.

It is the sixth largest city in Italy, known for: hard salami, maritime superiority (back in the day), and being the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. His rebuilt home can be seen in one of the pictures below (it's not big).Weiterlesen
