Genoa Hotels
Genoa, which spreads inland from the coast for more than 35 kilometres, has the largest port in Italy.
This old, noble city is the capital of the Region of Liguria and one of the four longstanding 'Marine Republics'.
It was the starting point of trade with both Asia and Africa and therefore had suffered great struggles, rivalries and dominations until 1815, when it was handed over to the Savoys.
The narrow, windy roads that run up and down the Old City are a reminder of its glorious medieval past.
The Renaissance is represented by charming squares, arcades, churches and palaces.
All this history is contrasted with the area of the Old Port 'Porto Vecchio' which has been very well restored and, with the addition of new buildings, has given a modern face to Genoa.
An outstanding example of this is the Aquarium by Renzo Piano, one of the finest of its kind in Europe.
