Grand Genoa


Genoa (Genova) is a port city in Northern Italy with an abundance of grand buildings, fitting for a city called la Superba ("the Superb one").

If Genoa was in any other country it would propably get more visitors. The thing with Italy is that the big three (Rome, Florence and Venice) so dominate the tourist market, that other incredibly remarkable cities are left shivering in their shadows.

- Cathedral of San Lorenzo
- Museum Galata, the largest maritime museum in the Mediterranean

Eating food of Genoa: focaccia and pasta al pesto

Genoa also has hotels at affordable prices, nothing to do with Rome, Milan and other European cities.
