Genoa has a long history as a rich and powerful trade centre. However, with its multitude of hidden gems behind cozy alleyways, excellent cuisine (notably fish and seafood), renovated old port, beautiful sights (including one of Europe's biggest aquariums), and its position as the European Capital of Culture in 2004 have made the birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus an enticing place which is gradually becoming more included in the touristic market. With pastel-coloured terracotta-roofed houses, artistic churches, lovely seaside villas, and also several luxurious boutiques, Genoa is a must see if you want to experience the "quintessential" Italy.
The city is the best base to explore the Italian Riviera and world famous places like Portofino and the Cinque Terre.

The Old Port, the Aquarium, the Museum of the Port and Via Garibaldi, Palazzo Reale, are within walking distance. The ways of the luxury shopping, historical workshops will welcome you and surprise you. Small cafes and restaurants and markets will introduce you to the fine cuisine of Liguria.

We are in the heart of historical center, the biggest in Europe. 
Genoa is a sort of decayed glorious port town, whose decay, however, is what makes it so interesting and pretty. The facades of grand palaces are hidden in scruffy, yet enticing alleyways, and there are really curious treats for anyone in virtually every alley. The city is your "typical" Italian one - quite sunny (during summer), with Mediterranean-looking houses topped by grey slate roofs, filled to the brim with outdoor cafes and bars, with lots of tiny and quirky alleyways, elegant designer shops, and restaurants. Today, also, the Old Port has been renovated by the local and international archistar Renzo Piano, and currently contains some funky avant-garde modern architecture, a delightful marina, and several seaside bars and shops.
The historic center of Genoa is serviced by bus only around some important squares and streets (Piazza Acquaverde for Stazione di Piazza Principe, Piazza della Nunziata, Largo Zecca, Piazza Corvetto, Piazza Caricamento). Its caruggi alleys are so narrow that no vehicular traffic is physically possible, and they have to be visited on foot - distances are definitely not huge anyway.
AMT also operates a public boat service called Navebus (check the timetables here: [4]) connecting the Porto Antico to Pegli. It is a great and cheap way to have a look at the city from the sea; once in Pegli, you can pay a visit to the Villa Pallavicini public park.
Private boat services start from the Old Port and travel along the coast to Camogli, San Fruttuoso, Portofino, Chiavari and the Cinqueterre.
