Crucero por Genoa: Navega entre maravillas
Descubre Genoa desde el mar con excursiones portuarias diseñadas para cruceristas.
Genoa, capital of Liguria and one of the Mediterranean's great maritime cities, pairs a UNESCO-listed medieval historic centre with Italy's busiest port. Between the labyrinthine carrugi, the palaces of Via Garibaldi, the Aquarium and the fishing hamlet of Boccadasse, it is an outstanding cruise stop and a city with genuine soul—less crowded than Rome or Florence.
