The city’s narrow alleyways, known as carrugi, reveal hidden squares, charming local shops, and authentic cafés, offering visitors an immersive experience into Genoa’s unique character. The old port area is particularly lively, combining cultural attractions and modern dining with stunning sea views.

It is a focal point for city life and is close to major landmarks such as the Ducal Palace and San Lorenzo Cathedral.
