There is nothing more exciting than having a walk through the little lanes (caruggi); from the square " Piazza Banchi " with its " Loggia dei Mercanti " to the wonderful " Piazza San't Agostino " with its coloured majolica, to the little street " via degli Orefici " where you can admire one of the most beautiful portal of the ancient centre, to the house of Colombo by Porta Soprana. A journey through the centuries...

The Cathedral Symbol of the Faith and the opulence of Genoa, gets the signals of transformation of the centuries; behind its black and white façade the legend melts with the history: from San Giovanni Barrista's head to the Last Supper Basin. The Via Aurelia Via Garibaldi , full of elegant buildings with marble and baroque crystal, hanging gardens and wide stairs, keeps its fascinating past. Between Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso it is possible to admire works from masters like: Rubens, Caravaggio, Van Dyck, Gros, il Veronese…. The Simbol of the city The Lighthouse from 1400 is the symbol of Genoa: its sight represents the splendour and the contradictions of this wonderful city.
