Overview
The tour has been customised for cruise passengers who don't want to miss the "must-see", even with a limited amount of time.
Anyway, the attractions listed can be changed upon request: we can skip or add one or more, or dedicate more attention to a specific subject (Middle Ages, trade & finance, music, etc)

What to expect
Museo di Palazzo Reale
Pass by
We'll walk on the dock in front of the Royal Palace. Here the guests of the Mansion could embark directly, using a direct covered walkway, replaced with the modern highway
La Commenda di Pre
Pass by
Lodging of the Crusaders in the Middle Ages, the building was meant for the hospitality and assistance to the pilgrims, and the departure for the ships to the Holy Land
Truogoli di Santa Brigida
Pass by
This typical little square was one of the public wash houses used until the early XX century. The district has been recently renewed, and now is pleasant public space in the old town
Palazzi dei Rolli
45m
In the Old Town there are plenty of elegant private residences that, when needed, were used since the 14th century for the hospitality of the illustrious guests of the Republic and for the clients of the Genoese bankers. In 2006, 42 of these mansions have been declared UNESCO Heritage.
Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari
30m
Geometrical centre and heart of the city, the lively Piazza is a concentration of important institutions, such as the Ducal Palace, the Opera House, the New Stock Exchange, and the seat of the local government, the Regione Liguria
Il Cittadino - Arcidiocesi di Genova
15m
The Medieval cathedral dominates with its striped facade the lively district. Its richly frescoed interior houses the relics of the protector of Genova, St. John the Baptist
Chiesa del Gesu e dei Santi Ambrogio e Andrea
Pass by
Masterpiece of the baroque architecture, this church is a triumph of gold and marbles, and contains amazing works of art, including two paintings by P.P. Rubens
Old Port
Pass by
The seafront of Genova has been entirely renewed for the 1992 celebrations dedicated a C. Columbus. With the opening of the Aquarium it has become the iconic district
There are plenty of amusements, such as the Bigo (a panoramic lift), the Aquarium, the Wheel, etc.
Galata Museo Del Mare
Pass by
No doubt this museum is one of the most interesting in town, so strictly connected with its deepest nature; a section is dedicated to Christopher Columbus, while the upper floor is entirely dedicated to the Emigration that has featured Italy in the past two centuries, and to the Immigration that features the whole continent in these days
