Day 1 · Italy

Genoa

Embarkation

Depart 18:00

Genoa is the capital of Liguria and a historic maritime republic, with one of Europe's largest medieval old towns packed into narrow lanes called caruggi behind the harbour. The Palazzi dei Rolli along Via Garibaldi and the waterfront aquarium are the classic sights, and pesto comes from here.
