The Genoa City Guides take on the questions visitors actually ask: where to order pesto that never saw a jar, which palaces on Via Garibaldi deserve your morning, how the lifts and funiculars save your legs and which train to catch for Camogli, Portofino or the Cinque Terre. Every guide is a tight list with a point of view: why to go, what to order or see and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you have paid.

Three places from the guides
Sà Pesta
Via dei Giustiniani 16r, old town
A farinata house with a short list of Genoese staples: trofie with pesto and farinata from the wood oven. Expect shared tables, plenty of noise and a room full of locals at lunchtime. From the food guide.
Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno
Piazzale Resasco, north Genoa
A vast 19th-century cemetery where marble angels and grieving families line the galleries. Entry is free, but give it an hour and a half and expect some slopes. From the things to do guide.
Castello Brown
Portofino, 15 minutes on foot from the harbour
A fortress high above Portofino with the finest view down onto the harbour. Walk up through the village and come back down through the park. From the day trips guide.
After the game, the guides take over
World City Trail’s Genoa scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. When the game is over, the guides carry on: a plate of trofie al pesto in the caruggi, a lift up to Castelletto for the view, an aperitivo on Piazza delle Erbe or a train along the coast to Camogli.
