Check out my FULL guide to the best things to do in Genoa plus where to stay here: www.eternal-expat.com/2022/04/15/things-to-do-in-genoa-italy/

As a Genoese I can say that you are absolutely right, this is one of the most underrated cities in Italy, full of history and beautiful places to see!

Hi, I am an American and I have lived here in Genova for the last 4 years. I love it. I am glad you liked it too. Please don't flood it with tourists🤣

In Genoa every stone is history! The cemetory of Staljeno is incredible, the best cemetory of the world. It was the strongest and richest port in the world in 13-16centuries.

I love how independent you are, it's inspiring and makes me less scared to go travelling alone! I cannot wait to visit this beautiful place 💖

Laura, all your videos are amazing. 1) you get the essence of the places you visit - 2) your are very informative, too - 3) filming, editing and music are very professionally done and chosen - 4) there's never a dull moment in your narrative and, last but not least, you are very "simpatica". Well done! You deserve trillions of views! ❤❤

I've discovered Genova the last year (for good, living 200km from it I've technically been there before, to the aquarium). I was flabbergasted, downtown is quite extensive, there are many historical buildings, landmarks, and generally the city layout is peculiar. I was going to mention a few foods other than the farinata but apparently I started commenting too early lol. The port promenade has a nice area for the nightlife. Another thing is that Genova is nicely connected with train stations, an highway, and a subway service. Edit: how I could exchange "year" with "here" I don't really know lol

Great video guide. Thank you!

Lovely tour!

Brilliant Video! Thank you.

Amazing!❤️🇮🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Fun fact: the floors in via XX Settembre have been used as texture in the videogame "Devil May Cry", also the art director of the game, Alessandro Tani, took inspiration from the Caruggi, the arcades mentioned in this video. After all, Tani's from Genoa. ;)

I love your videos and your series on Italy is really getting me excited for my trip there in two days!! I will be staying with friends on the island of Elba and doing a bit of traveling from there.

I’m so happy you loved my Genova!

Your vlogging vibe is so pleasant! Thanks for the nice trip to Genoa

My hometown ❤ Thank you for your beautiful video 🙏

Thank you to visit and show my beautiful city to your follower.. Amazing video ❤️

Many months I do those streets every day :) Nice video the tourists in the city are growing everyday more

omg so cool. it looks so beautiful like a nice cross between Nice and Marseille. Take care.

13:45 The "alps" in video are called "Appennino Ligure"

Really enjoyed your Ligurian coast vlogs. Found your channel as I was curious about Genova, my mission is to go to every region in Italy, been too quiet a few 😊I prefer the ones under the radar as the foods generally better and cheaper. Probably going to go next month and include Portofino etc when it’s cold and damp then revisit in the summer with the mrs, now subscribed. Thanks

Stunning! Thank you.

Great video … Genoa sounds beautiful and insanely good ::))

That was an awesome tour.

Great video Laura! Thanks for sharing all this information with us! We will put Genova on our Bucket list! Enjoy and safe travels!

Nice to see someone showing the reality of travel as well! Cheers Laura 😄

Thank you for this Vlog from my beloved city! Next time you 'll come I'm available to let you know some other beautiful spots in my dear Zena 🙂

On my list of places to go. Great video Laura.

I could listen to your voice all day. Great video. Loved the experience

Genova is very storiecal place in Italy very interesting place love your video

Amazing video, thanks for the video, beautiful places and beautiful you! 😍You have a new suscriber, saludos desde México! ❤

Thnks sis for this video

As a Genovese, what a cool tour!! You really went into the old town!!

What you said is true, too many people don't stop to visit Genoa, which I think is absolutely lovely and not only because I live here, but because it is!

Hi, good video, but i can assure you that there's a lot more to see in Genova^^ Next time search for: Spianata Castelletto, Parchi di Nervi with Passeggiata a mare, S.Ilario and Granarolo. You will not be disappointed.

Lived and worked in Genova for 28 years, beautiful city. Now living in my native Surrey, UK. Long story short, I still love Genova and the friends I left behind

The best of the Genoese savory pies is the legendary "Torta Pasqualina (that is, prepared during the Easter period)", made with artichokes. In Savona they also make farinata bianca, made with wheat flour instead of chickpeas. A must-try specialty is the famous pansotti in walnut sauce, the best of which are found in the heights of Sori, the focaccette di stracchino, also in the heights of Sori, as well as the authentic focaccia di Recco with cheese. The one sold in Genoa is not worth a cigar and it is forbidden to call it focaccia di Recco or even the Recco type

hiii! You had such a kind view on my city Genoa, that is not one of the most touristy places and can because of this be sometimes difficult to appreciate. Their changing the roof in Galleria Mazzini! The iron work was getting too old. If you are thinking of visiting again, I would suggest going inside the Aquarium as well (it's the biggest in Europe) going sightseeing in Spianata Castelletto (there's another lift), and also maybe trying the Parco di Villa Pallavicini, in Genova Pegli. It's typically mediterranean, but also very peculiar. there is also the Cimitero di Staglieno, which is like a free open air sculpture museum. Additionally, if you get in Via Balbi during the work week, while the university is open, you can explore the university buildings as well. Thank you for your video!

Thanks for this video, indpired me to visit for 2 weeks. I loved it, and will definitely go back.

Just discovered your Genoa video Laura and loving it thank you. I’d love to know what dates you were there please, as I am going there next year in late autumn? Wow, your cappuccino looked WONDERFUL! Lucky you! Cheers from Australia

I love your sense of humour Laura!!! When you said they are beautifying it even more and Focaccia crawl I could stop laughing 😂 love it 😊

Hi Laura. What you show as Sottoripa is actually Via San Luca, patrimonio culturale UNESCO. GENOVA nel mio cuore ❤!

Awesome my Superba.

Good i m genoese and im so proud there is a guide of valorization in other language. Thank you

Hi Laura! As a Genovese I found your guide pretty spot-on! You just missed Spianata Castelletto which is the best viewpoint within the city center and from your editing I had the feeling you walked the sketchiest paths from one site to another... very kind of you not pointing that out 😅... great picks of street food though!!

Just got back from here really loved it 4 days wasn’t enough imo

Nice video I live in Genova 7 years

Hi Laura, I recently discovered your channel and I'm enjoying catching up on your travels. At the moment, I'm just down the road from you in Pisa. The streets here are just as noisy but at least the weather is a bit brighter! As regards the most underrated city in Italy, I believe that title should go to Bologna. Apart from the food and the sights and the food and the history and the food, you have easy access to the nearby cities of Modena, Parma, Ferrara and Venice. Bologna is definitely one of the best cities to base yourself if you plan on staying more than a few days.

you deserve my like and subscribe Laura for this nice presentation of the beautiful city and different places. that's help us a lot as traveler . thank you :)

Good information

RAIN RAIN GOOD

what a beautifull city

i live in Genova 😍i love this city

Ciao Laura grazie era bello.

My torna, my love...Genoa, much more than this ❤. Thank you

This is a very nice and dense city. I visited Monaco, which is maybe 30 or 45 minutes by train if I remember correctly. I was traveling from Monaco to Rome and then like at 1am we arrived in Genoa. We stayed at the train station for one whole hour and we left exactly at the same time we arrived, at 1am. It was the daylight savings day from summer to autumn, and we had to stay one whole hour at the Genoa train station just looking at the clock to let go that inexistent hour. Strange method but that was the way to adjust the train schedules I imagine in most countries in Europe.

I Love Your Travels It Is Comforting To Me as I'm Unable To Travel Due to Disabilities.

Hello laura..nice to meet you.. i sm joko from indonesia Genoa is awesome...view, landscape attractive...visitor to come here Pizza is delight food must to be tasted Overall genoa is awesome

It's strange to see my city watching by a tourist☺

My city ❤️

Hi - do you know of an App that would guide a person with GPS from one site in the city to another…? Genoa looks so peaceful in comparison to other cities in Italy!

Thank you for the video Laura. What month of the year did you visit? It looked pretty chilly.

I live in napoli and I have visited over the before it's was awesome 😍😍😍🌹❤️

Just came back from a 10 day solo trip to Italy, France & Spain. Part land part MSC cruise. Pro tip::: Pack light!! I can’t express that enough. So much walking, so many stairs and uneven cobble stone terrain. It’s ok to be fashionably stylish but do dress comfortable and plan to rewear your clothes. It’s ok to wash a few outfits and wear them again. Also.. if in Italy specifically Genova. Never enter a bus without a ticket. You cannot pay on the bus. The police comes on the bus and asks for your ticket. If you don’t produce a ticket you will be forced to pay €67 later or€47 on the spot by credit card. The will not budge with tears or pleading about being an English speaking tourist. Happened to me and had I let it get to me it certainly would have ruined my trip 2 days in. For the trains make sure that if you buy your ticket at the station that you validate it at one of the many machines before boarding. If you bought it online make sure that the pass is downloaded to your wallet or you have a screenshot of it. For taxi drivers always navigate the route with them on your speakerphone or they will take you the longest route possible to Jack up the fare.

Zena!

Genova e meravigliosa è una bella cita 👏🏻❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Genova e Napoli, le mie città preferite di Italia

Italy for a small country has a lot of nice cities

13:46 cruise ships MSC Musica and MSC Fantasia

belin belino

Boccadasse!!! That is where one night we had dinner in a restaurant built under the sea walkway and joined a nightly "passeggiata" along the sea walkway to the beach. At the time, there was a little bar down the path to the beach and you could buy wine and drink it on the beach........how romantic, but I was with my travel female friend.

As charming as human beings come

I have no idea when this video was recorded, but i can easly say that you were quite unlucky with the weather since it rained like 2/3 times in all Autumn/winter here in Genova 😂

You are killing me girl!! I AM SOOOOO Jealous! I have a friend who made a quick trip to Rome last week... I mean, out of Denver on Thursday, back the next Thursday. She was telling me so much. I dunno honey, the shape that Mexico is in these days... I might set my sights on another direction. One more year of labor camp here in the gringolandia!

GENOA GENOVA ZENA LA MIA CITTA'

Hi, that’s not Sottoripa, they are “Vicoli” or “Caroggio”. 👍🏻👍🏻 nice video

Without question, you had a great time in Genoa. Did you travel by yourself? What month do you recommend to go there to enjoy the beach?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What time of year did you visit?

È molto bello e ci vivo

What time of year is this? I’m going in March and am wondering what the average weather is like

So beautiful and so old! Hope to visit one day. One thing so frustrating to me though, is the scourge of graffiti 😤 I don’t get the narcissistic mindset that compels people to deface property that doesn’t belong to them, turning beauty to ugliness.

Le Caravelle, Piazza della Vittoria

What a beautiful place but also what a beautiful lady ❤😍

Scendo in piazza a piedi a Ge

Well..rainy you said..as a mediterranean citizen i think you maaayby chose the wrong time dear...😏italy means sun and so may to october is the perfect time..costs more but sunny coast places deserve a sunny period!

How long were lines to travel due to COVID? Here in Sydney, Australia - you have to arrive 5 hrs prior to travel. Long multiple lines, to check vaccinations, check in baggage and customs. CROWDED.

🇦🇺☀️🇮🇹

Im a italian and i live in Genova adesso nessuno capirà questa frase in italiano ahahaha

😎😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍💋

hi

Very nice vlog 😉 like for you 👍

Nice video and it's always good to see someone who comes from abroad to review Genoa. Indeed, we are too often overlooked by the main tourist routes. The only criticism I feel is related to the fact that only the city center was visited. Genoa is 20 Km long and almost every neighborhood has its own ancient churches, historic palaces and villas, parks, etc ... indeed the various Genoese neighborhoods were nineteen independent municipalities until 1926, when they were unified with the central one, the historical Genoa. Some suffered from strong building speculation in the 60s / 70s (a period of intense immigration from the central and southern Italy) which makes the town seem a continuous whole, but anyway they have maintained a strong identity, just think that even today those who live outside the center say "I go to Genoa" to indicate the travel to the old town. However, despite having passed almost a century, the vast majority of tourist guides / television documentaries / the same institutional tourist promotion, seem to be interested only in what is present in the area of ​​the "historical" (central) Genoa, neglecting the more decentralized districts, so unfortunately it's a generalized problem. If you were to return, I would like to recommend the "Villa Duchessa di Galliera" in Voltri with its large historical park, the "Parco Villa Durazzo Pallavicini" in Pegli (unfortunately this isn't free), the "Sanctuary of Nostra Signora del Monte Gazzo" above the neighborhood of Sestri Ponente, from which you can see a panorama that sweeps for a good part of the west ligurian coast (there is also a small speleological museum), and the "Anita Garibaldi promenade" in the Nervi district (unfortunately in recent years a very lacking in maintenance), with its parks and art museums. Staying in the city center, there is also the Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto lift, near the Principe station, which is often the destination of groups of civil engineers and public transport fan, due to its particular conformation (a horizontal section, followed by a vertical one), which leads to the museum of cultures of the D'Albertis Castle (a 19th century palace built in the likeness of a little medieval castles).

Christopher Columbus: 👁️👄👁️

Visit Genoa. The weather sucks and the food sucks. Nice.

Do you like genoa?

I remember my friends often mix Genoa with GENEVA XD It's GENOA, not GENEVA, OK?!!?

Have been there in 2019. Loved the architecture a lot. What I didn't like though there were lotta african guys who were mocking tourists.

Columbus was born there. I asked a woman where it was located and she showed me some broken walls. Very delusional.

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons & sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
