Tour Description

Discover Genoa — the city of navigators, a powerful maritime republic and the birthplace of Christopher Columbus. For centuries, Genoa served as a vital gateway between the Roman Empire and the Mediterranean, and today it remains one of Europe’s leading ports. The city is also home to one of the continent’s best-preserved historic centres, where medieval alleyways, grand palaces and seafront views create an unforgettable atmosphere.

Explore it all with City Sightseeing Genoa — the city’s only hop-on hop-off bus service. Comfortable double-decker panoramic buses operate two carefully designed routes, each featuring 11 stops that connect Genoa’s most iconic landmarks.

Your journey begins at Piazza Caricamento, overlooking the historic Old Port and the famous Aquarium of Genoa. From there, travel through the heart of the city to Via Garibaldi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site lined with magnificent palaces, continue via Piazza De Ferrari and the elegant Via XX Settembre, and extend your visit to the charming fishing village of Boccadasse
