Genoa
Nestled in the center of the Italian Riviera, lies Genoa, stretching for several miles from the hills to the coast, it lives up to its reputation as the cultural capital of Europe, a title won in 2004 due to its theaters, museums, restaurants, cafes, shopping centers and Europe's largest aquarium. Genoa's historic center is said to be the largest medieval quarter in Europe and has a wealth of churches, palaces, and museums. During the time of the Romans, it served as an important maritime center for the empire and, during the period of the Renaissance, was known as one of the richest cities of Renaissance Europe. Visit and explore the Aquarium of Genoa, Piazza De Ferrari, Cattedrale di San Lorenzo, Royal Palace Museum, Via Garibaldi, Galata Museo del Mare, D'Albertis Castle and so much more.
