Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Genoa
Depart 17:00
Italy's great maritime city, stacked up the Ligurian hills above one of the Mediterranean's busiest harbours. Its old town is a maze of tall, narrow caruggi, and it claims pesto and focaccia as local inventions; the Aquarium and Renaissance palaces of Via Garibaldi sit close to the port.
