The birthplace of Christopher Columbus, Genoa presents a multitude of hidden gems behind cozy alleways, excellent cuisine (particularly fish and seafood) and beautiful sights. Piazza Caricamento presents Genoa's striking cityscape, with pastel buildings piled up steep hillsides above the long curving waterfront which can be admired from a variety of viewpoints along the tour of this fascinating city. Visit one of the town’s medleys of museums or peruse one of the art galleries. The town's best art collections can be visited in three palaces grouped together as the Musei di Strada Nuova: Palazzo Bianco, Palazzo Rosso and Palazzo Tursi, Garibaldi, where highlights include works by Rubens as well as many local artists. The double-decker bus tour, with easy access to both train stations, provides the opportunity to explore the key shopping areas and attractions such as the Cathedral San Lorenzo, a building in a patchwork of styles from Gothic to Renaissance and close by the huge Palazzo Ducale.
