Car Hire in Genoa
Genoa, on the northwest Ligurian coast, is more than 2,000 years old with a history steeped in martime exploration.
The Lanterna lighthouse has guided ships into the harbours for 600 years and stands guard along Genoa's coast. Genoa is the birthplace of Christopher Columbus- there are many tributes visitors explore in the city. The narrow maze of streets in the historical centre is replete with beautiful churches alongside the decadent architecture trading wealth brought to the city. Splendid old buildings ooze with importance and many have been turned into museums. The White Palace Gallery (Palazzo Bianco) has hundreds of paintings from Rubens, Van Dyck as well as local artists; the Red Palace Gallery (Palazzo Rozza) on Via Garibaldi is one of the richest in the town and houses works from the 15th century, old ceramics and an extensive photographic archive. Padiglione del Mare Della Navigazione is dedicated to the extensive maritime history of the town; reproductions of famous ships and machinery are on display. Other attractions not to miss include the Observatory of Genoa, Castello Mackenzie, Palazzo Balbi Senarega, The Fiera del Mare and the Genoa Aquarium, built in honour of Columbus. Relax in the Via di Sottoripa, an area of socialising among the food sellers and delicious scents of Genoese culinary wonders and enjoy concerts in the Fiera del Mare during the summer.
Along the coast the Lido area, the Bagni Marinella in the town of Ponente (popular with families), Bagni Mauro and Maddalena are all popular destinations away from the bustle of the city. Liguria has thousands of delightful little towns and villages that are great to visit. The small fishing villages along the coast are preserves of the traditional ways and are an experience into Mediterranean life- check out Chiavari, Sestri Levante and explore the trails and the Parco delle Mura for a back-to-nature experience.
