Free Tour Around Genoa
Overview of the tour in Genoa
Starting from the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, you will reach Piazza De Ferrari, the most important square in the city, and then come to Via Garibaldi. Via Garibaldi was built in the 16th century at the behest of wealthy Genoese families, who decided to create an exclusive neighborhood.
