Genoa Tours On A Map: Where Every Experience Starts

Genoa is a long, narrow coastal city on the Ligurian Sea with the Apennine hills directly behind it. Walking, food and ticket tours mostly start in the old town and at the Porto Antico, around Piazza De Ferrari, the Aquarium and Via Garibaldi. From there, boat trips and day tours head east to Camogli, San Fruttuoso and Portofino, with the Cinque Terre further east by train or tour.

How The Old Town, The Port And The Riviera Connect

Straight line distances from Piazza De Ferrari anchor the map. The Riviera villages sit close: Camogli about 18 km, San Fruttuoso about 22 km and Portofino about 25 km east, and the Cinque Terre about 67 km east. Milan, about 119 km, and Turin, about 123 km, lie inland, while Nice and Monaco are about 141 km away.
