Genoa A Maritime Jewel of Liguria

#mytraveldiary Genoa in the region of Liguria is a city full of character where history, culture and seaside charm come together. Walking through its narrow alleys known as caruggi feels like stepping back in time, with medieval walls and hidden courtyards at every turn. The grand Piazza De Ferrari with its impressive fountain offers a lively spot to pause and take in the city’s rhythm. The old port area has been beautifully redeveloped with shops, cafes and the popular aquarium, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors. Food is a highlight here with pesto originating from this very city and fresh seafood filling the menus. Genoa combines authenticity with a touch of elegance, making it a destination that feels both historic and refreshingly alive.
