Top neighbourhoods in Genoa

Via Garibaldi

Genoa Historical Centre

Genoa's Historical Centre invites you to wander through Europe's largest medieval quarter where history whispers from every corner. The labyrinthine caruggi (narrow alleyways) lead to magnificent discoveries like Christopher Columbus's house and the striped Cathedral of San Lorenzo. UNESCO World Heritage sites and Renaissance palaces create an open-air museum where centuries of maritime heritage come alive with every step. Traditional osterie serve mouthwatering farinata and authentic pesto pasta alongside family-run trattorias dishing up fresh seafood. Stay in charming boutique B&Bs housed in converted palazzos with original frescoes. Getting around is best done on foot, though metro stations at De Ferrari and San Giorgio connect you to the wider city when your legs need a break.

Genoa

Boccadasse

Boccadasse feels like a medieval fishing village plucked from a storybook and placed on Genoa's coast. Colourful houses in coral and seafoam green cascade down to a pebble beach where traditional boats bob in the bay. Narrow stone alleyways wind between centuries-old buildings adorned with hanging laundry and flower boxes. The Church of Sant'Antonio anchors this picturesque spot where locals still fish from traditional boats. Small trattorias serve fresh focaccia and seafood caught that morning, with most places closing for afternoon siesta. Though public transit is limited, the area rewards explorers on foot with its intimate scale and stunning views. Accommodation is primarily holiday rentals in converted fishermen's houses, offering an authentic slice of coastal Italian life.

Carignano

Carignano offers a refined slice of authentic Genoese life where elegant 19th-century villas and the magnificent dome of Santa Maria Assunta Basilica create a sophisticated residential retreat. Stroll tree-lined streets with ornate balconies and marble facades or visit the Museum of Modern Art housed in the historic Villa Croce. The neighborhood's peaceful atmosphere provides a welcome escape from tourist crowds. Upscale trattorias serve exceptional Ligurian cuisine featuring fresh pesto and focaccia that locals swear by. While accommodation trend towards elegant bed & breakfasts in converted villas, the area remains well-connected to Genoa's attractions via regular AMT bus service and walkable streets.

Nervi

Nervi's stunning seaside promenade, Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi, winds along dramatic cliffs with breathtaking Mediterranean views. Historic villas house art galleries while botanical gardens showcase exotic plants in this peaceful coastal retreat. The medieval tower stands sentinel over pebble beaches where clear waters invite swimmers during warm months. Seafood-focused trattorias line the waterfront serving fresh focaccia and local specialities. Choose from elegant boutique hotels in converted Belle Époque villas or family-run B&Bs with garden terraces. The train connects to city centre Genoa in just 20 minutes, making day trips easy.

Panoramic Evening View of Genua - Italy

Castelletto

Perched high above Genoa, Castelletto rewards explorers with jaw-dropping views of the harbour and terracotta rooftops from its famous Spianata lookout. Art Nouveau villas and elegant palazzos line the peaceful, tree-shaded streets where locals outnumber tourists. Historic castles like Castello d'Albertis offer cultural depth while terraced gardens cascade down the hillsides. The neighborhood's intimate trattorias serve authentic Ligurian specialities like pesto and focaccia with prices reflecting the upscale setting. Getting around means tackling steep cobblestone streets, but the 8-minute funicular ride connects you effortlessly to city centre Genoa.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Genoa

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Genoa is during February, October, and November, when hotel prices are generally lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully experience the city's historic landmarks, cultural sites, and stunning natural attractions. Visitors can explore fascinating museums, stroll along the picturesque port, discover the renowned aquarium, and enjoy the charming cafes that line the sea. With its hilly terrain and rich dining options, Genoa offers great value for money for travellers keen on history and culture. Additionally, it is possible that prices may drop further during these months, making it an even more budget-friendly choice.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Genoa, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you’re informed about potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a helpful comparison tool available via the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see these changes first and secure the best hotel deals for your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you to save on your stay in a hotel in Genoa. If you're seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and can, at times, offer better value. When you make a booking with Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price seems to be on the higher side, we’ll recommend alternative dates that may be more affordable, helping you to secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Genoa's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less populated neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
