Description
Discover Genoa’s ancient alleys on a guided urban walk from the Cruise Port, then enjoy a Ligurian wine brunch with local focaccia, pesto and authentic flavors in a family-run bottega.
Start your experience right at Genoa Cruise Port, where your local guide will meet you for a scenic urban walk through the city’s most fascinating areas. Stroll along the Old Port, step into the narrow “caruggi” of Via Lomellini, and climb to Spianata Castelletto for a breathtaking view over the rooftops.
Descend by panoramic elevator, pass through Piazza delle Fontane Marose and Piazza De Ferrari, and reach Porta Soprana and the legendary House of Columbus. Along the way, learn stories about Genoa’s maritime past, its hidden palaces, and its world-famous food culture.
End your walk at BioTigullio5Terre, a cozy local bottega where you’ll enjoy a Ligurian wine brunch. Taste three regional wines — Vermentino, Pigato, and Rossese — paired with authentic focaccia, pesto, cheese, and a sweet local treat. Relax in a friendly atmosphere, meet your hosts, and celebrate your Genoese experience with a small diploma of participation.
After brunch, your guide will show you how to easily return to the Cruise Port by metro — just two stops away, ticket €2 — or you can stay longer to explore on your own.
Perfect for cruise travelers, couples, and food lovers looking for a half-day experience that combines culture, flavor, and the true spirit of Genoa.
