Genoa is a city that surprises: layered, labyrinthine, rich in history and authentic flavours. Its historic centre — the largest in Europe — is a maze of caruggi (narrow alleys) where every lane hides artisan workshops, the scent of freshly baked focaccia and aristocratic palaces of rare beauty. Renting a car in Genoa lets you move freely between the waterfront and the Ligurian hinterland, reaching the beaches of the western Riviera or the panoramic terraces of the Apennines in just a few minutes.
The city is easily accessed via Piazza Principe station and Cristoforo Colombo Airport. With your car you can park comfortably in the Old Port facilities and then explore the historic centre on foot, expanding your range to the surrounding towns inaccessible by public transport.

Among the main attractions stand out the Genoa Aquarium — one of the largest in Europe, with over 15,000 marine specimens — and the Biosphere, the steel and glass dome designed by Renzo Piano that hosts a tropical forest by the sea. The renovated Old Port is the beating heart of contemporary Genoa, with the panoramic Bigo, museums and event spaces.
Don't miss Via Garibaldi and its surrounding streets, a UNESCO World Heritage Site as the Strade dei Rolli: Renaissance and Baroque palaces that once welcomed Europe's kings. Genoese pesto and Recco focaccia are tasted in the trattorias of the caruggi, while a day trip with your car easily reaches Camogli, Recco and the Portofino peninsula.

Genoa is best explored by combining a city visit with the Ligurian coast destinations. With a rental car you can plan flexible itineraries to the Cinque Terre (about 90 minutes), Portofino (45 minutes) or Sanremo (around 1h 30 min). The A7 and A26 motorways quickly link Genoa to Milan and Turin.
