Genoa, Italy April 9, 10?

Question

I'm trying to convince my boyfriend that we need two nights in Genoa, and not just one. Can you help me?! (We have a cheap B&B, and free tickets to the acquarium.) What else is there to see/do/eat? :-)

Answer 1

To see (after the Acquarium) :

Naval Museum

Palazzo Ducale

Villa Doria

House of Columbus (the discoverer of the Americas).

Piazza de' Ferrari

La Lanterna

Imperial Palace

Monumental cemetery of Staglieno

Genoa underground

To do :

walking some "carrugo" and "crêuza" the narrow streets of the ancient town leading to the old port (not in evening or night time,it could be not safe..!!).

go to drink an aperitif at one of the historic bars of Genoa

(Bar Cavo , Bar Sulfureus or the Baretto in the Albaro's quarter)

To eat :

gelato (ice cream) but take care of tasting only the

"Gelato Artigianale" (artisan's ice cream).- They must have a poster in the window shop reading as above.

However my favourite is Antica Gelateria Amedeo, Piazza Nettuno.  

As to restaurants most renowned,in order of "quality", are:

1 Puny  2.Da Genio  3.Gran Gotto  4.Il Trattato 5.Santa Chiara - You can take whatever you want and it will be ...yummi....!!

Focacceria della Manuelina to taste the famous "focaccia"

I guess you need to stay more than 2 nights to see and try all here above.

Enjoy Italy.
