One of the landmarks of the region, locally called Centro Storico is Genoa\u2019s historic center, a UNESCO-listed Site epitomized by some awesome mediated structures. People prefer Genoa also due to its Aquarium, one of the most famous and remarkable aquariums in Europe. Food and wine are great motivations to explore the city.<\/p>\n<p>Genoa is a culinary center, and its famous dishes exemplify this great feature- especially the fish-based cuisine, specifically the pesto sauce made out of the basil bushes that adorn the Ligurian mountains. For a boost of further inspiration take a look at some of the more traditional dishes from Genoa. Besides, food markets are lively, and the Liguria region\u2019s local wine, Vermentino, is a fresh white which has made this place the map of the globe\u2019s best labels. In the metropolis, street art is exquisite represented with vibrant murals and urban artworks enhancing its streetscapes.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in photography or just like discovering the exciting world of this popular art expression, then Genoa will be your choice. And, if all the above that has been spoken of is not enough, along the coast you will find marvelous beaches and a fairly short distance from this \u2013 very beautiful coast settlements including Sanremo, Portofino, Lerici, and the Cinque Terre.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_of_Genoa_and_Directions_on_How_to_Get_There\"><\/span>Location of Genoa and Directions on How to Get There.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Genoa lies on the Ligurian shores lining the Apennine mountains and the Mediterranean. It could be connected via train from various regions neighboring it such as Lombardy, Piedmont, Emilia Romagna, and Tuscany. One renowned town near Genoa is Savona, a lovely coastal town with the most wonderful beaches which includes towns like the gateway to Cinque Terre is La Civil region. Lastly, 35 km from Genoa there settles the charming coastal town of Santa Margherita Ligure with its beautiful harbor and coast.<\/p>\n<p>By traveling to Genoa from Rome, you can go by train this is the most preferred option due to its speed. A direct train from Rome to Geno will take approximately, 3 to 4 hours, and high-speed trains- Frecciarossa or Italo in 3 to 5 hours. Alternatively, to get to Genoa from Rome there is a bus service which is around 4 hours long but also depends on the traffic and stops during the travel. The bus company FlixBus in Italy operates buses between Genoa and Rome and therefore the company represents a clear example of direct connections Driving is another possible option, (from Rome or anywhere else in the country). For instance, you can hire a car in Rome and drive on Highway A1 north of Genoa. Rome to Genoa is about 445 kilometers and a drive would take about 4 \u2013 5 hours.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Genoa_Worth_Visiting\"><\/span>Is Genoa Worth Visiting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If Genoa is a city of which you knew almost nothing, of which you had heard almost nothing, and from which you had almost no expectations. Therefore, it will amaze you. In Genoa, some areas of the city will give you a little bit of a seedy feeling in the beginning, but by the end of your stay, the city will be more understandable.<\/p>\n<p>Particularly for a visit of a couple of days along the Italian Riviera, Genoa is a great Italian city full of delicious food and stunning architecture. A week-only trip to Genoa would not be a recommendation. However, despite all the above-described advantages of this city, I would not call it a very good place for a visit just for a couple of days and a perfect cruise stop. All the main attractions are worth visiting\u2014from Genoa\u2019s square through its Renaissance palaces.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmissable_Famous_attractions_of_Genoa\"><\/span>Unmissable Famous attractions of Genoa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Genoa_Aquarium\"><\/span>Genoa Aquarium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2114\" src=\"https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Genoa-Aquarium.jpg\" alt=\"Aquarium in Genoa Italy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Genoa-Aquarium.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Genoa-Aquarium-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Genoa-Aquarium-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.italyvisa.ae\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Genoa-Aquarium-640x400.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This destination may be one of the unusual things to do in Genoa, but it is an excellent family destination that will capture the imagination and attention of all age groups.
