Genoa does not seem to be an ordinary city for most yachtsmen, as it is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world with its thousand-year-old history, beautiful beaches and unmissable sites. A pearl like Italy knows how to make.
Genoa, a small world of culture
Opting for a yacht charter in Genoa will allow you to make some wonderful discoveries. For example, you will have the opportunity to discover Porto Antico. This old port illustrates the maritime history of the former republic of Genoa. It was thanks to the latter that the city enjoyed a long period of prosperity. Strolling through the port, you can admire the Aquarium, the first marine park in Europe, where you will get a glimpse of what the world of sailors and fishermen once was. Not far from the Aquarium, at the top of the Bigo, a breathtaking view of the whole city awaits you, embellished by the slate roofs overlooking the sparkling sea. But Genoa also stands out for its cultural monuments. During a short stroll through the heart of the town, you will come across bucolic sites that will tell you its story. The palaces of Via Garibaldi or the Rolli palaces are among the must-sees. Listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the latter reveal a baroque style dating from the 16th century. Along the way, you will also come across splendid mansions that once served as second homes to the nobility. Some of them have been converted into museums, such as the one on Strada Nuova, where you can admire some magnificent works of art. Another square, a remnant of the city's cultural wealth, is also worth a visit. This is Via Balbi, home to majestic buildings such as the Palazzo Reale, the Galleria degli Specchi and the National Museum. Don't forget to enjoy a stroll along Via San Luca to admire the gallery of the Spinoza palace where the works of Antonello da Messina, Rubens and Van Dyck are on display. After this little slice of history, treat yourself to the simple pleasures of the sandy coastline caressed by an electric sea. Rowing, water skiing, windsurfing, sailing or diving are just a few of the fun activities not to be missed during your visit to Porto Antico.
