Overview

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.

We will meet twelve of the city's most beautiful historic palaces here. After that, the tour will continue in the alleys of the historic center, the heart and soul of the city, which holds a wealth of hidden treasures. After walking through ancient narrow alleys, we will return to the starting point.

Below are the stages of our itinerary:

- Meeting point: Cathedral of San Lorenzo
- Via San Lorenzo and Ducal Palace
- De Ferrari Square
- Carlo Felice Theater
- Via Garibaldi (Some of the twelve Palazzi dei Rolli will be narrated, particularly Palazzo Nicolosio Lomellino and Palazzo Rosso)
- Church of San Siro
- Via San Luca (Church of San Luca)
- Piazza Banchi (Loggia di Banchi and church of San Pietro in Banchi)
- Via degli Orefici
- Campetto Square (Palazzo Ottavio Imperiale and Palazzo Gio Vincenzo Imperiale meet here)
- Via di Scurreria
- Return to the Cathedral of Genoa

“An interesting walk”
It was a good experience. We went in December and it was cold. The whole group was large. Michelle did basic explanations and what she knew, it was quite interesting. We had a break which was necessary and it went well.

Highly recommended tour. Perfect duration to get to know Genoa as a cruise passenger and do it all on foot from the moment you leave the ship!!! The best thing; that you have enough free time to follow the indications and recommendations of the guide Michelle before arriving at the port for your free time!!!!
