[2025 Genoa Attraction] Travel Guide for Piazza De Ferrari (Updated Jul)

#europetrip Genoa, the maritime heart of Italy, is a city where history and modern life intertwine seamlessly. As one of the country’s most important port cities, it has long been a gateway for trade and culture, leaving behind a rich tapestry of grand architecture, narrow alleyways, and stunning coastal views. I began my journey at the Porto Antico, the old harbor that has been revitalized into a vibrant waterfront district. Walking along the marina, I admired the mix of old ships and modern yachts, with the iconic Lanterna, Genoa’s historic lighthouse, standing tall in the distance. The lively atmosphere, filled with street performers and the aroma of fresh seafood, set the perfect tone for my exploration. Wandering into the historic center, I found myself in a maze of caruggi—Genoa’s famous narrow alleyways. These medieval streets were lined with hidden cafés, artisan shops, and stunning palazzi, each with intricate facades and centuries of history behind them. The grandeur of Via Garibaldi, with its row of Renaissance palaces, was a highlight, showcasing the wealth and influence Genoa once held. A visit to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo offered a glimpse into the city’s deep-rooted religious history. The striped marble exterior was striking, while inside, the quiet atmosphere and impressive frescoes transported me back in time. Nearby, Piazza De Ferrari, the city’s central square, was a perfect spot to pause and take in the elegant buildings and the impressive fountain at its center. For a breathtaking view, I took the funicular up to Spianata Castelletto. From this panoramic terrace, Genoa unfolded before me—a stunning mix of terracotta rooftops, church spires, and the shimmering Ligurian Sea stretching into the horizon. The peaceful atmosphere, away from the bustling streets below, made it a perfect place to soak in the city’s beauty. No visit to Genoa would be complete without indulging in its famous cuisine. At a small trattoria tucked away in the historic quarter, I savored a plate of trofie al pesto, the region’s signature dish. The freshness of the basil, blended with local olive oil and Parmigiano, made it one of the most flavorful meals I had in Italy. Paired with a slice of focaccia, another Genovese specialty, it was a simple yet unforgettable culinary experience. As the sun began to set, I wandered back towards the harbor, where the golden light reflected off the water, giving the city an almost magical glow. Genoa, with its rich maritime heritage, atmospheric streets, and breathtaking coastal views, had left an undeniable impression.

#OverseasTravelStrategy I visited Genova, so I'll share my travel diary✨ I absolutely had to eat pesto...! So I went to a restaurant recommended by a friend! There was a line before the restaurant opened, so reservations are a must👀 I only ordered pesto and beer, but it came with bread! It was so delicious💚 What surprised me was that it was so delicious and only cost about 8.5€! It's so cheap! This short pasta is called trofie, and it seems to be a traditional short pasta that originated in a town called Sori near Genova. It's sold cheaply at supermarkets, so I bought pesto sauce and this trofie as souvenirs! Now that my stomach is full, it's time for sightseeing! Genova also has a surprising number of tourist spots☺️ First up is Garibaldi Street, which is registered as a World Heritage Site! Many of the mansions from that time remain, and it's a street where you'll never get bored walking around with red and white palaces! Next is the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its distinctive stripes✨It seems to be the oldest church in Florence. It's a popular photo spot! And Columbus's house! It is said that Columbus grew up in Genoa, and the house where he lived is one of Genoa's most famous tourist spots✨ Next is Ferrari Square! Normally there is a fountain, but on this particular day it was closed as it was a national holiday;; It is beautifully lit up at night, so please be sure to check it out✴︎ Finally, there is a galley in Porto Antico! You can go inside ◎ All the tourist spots introduced here are on foot 🚶 It's a small town, so I think you can see everything in one day ☺️🇮🇹 ------------------------------------------------ ⭐︎Restaurant 📍Cavour modo21 | Trattoria Genovese Piazza Cavour, 21r, 16128 Genova GE, Italy 📍Via Garibaldi 📍Cattedrale di San Lorenzo 📍Casa di Cristoforo Colombo 📍Piazza de Ferrari 📍Porto Antico ------------------------------------------------

#TravelWithMe This is the vast main square of Genoa. It separates the historic district from the modern city center. The large fountain in the center is the landmark. The square is named after Ferrari, who made a large donation to expand Genoa's port in the 1800s.

Isn’t romantic? With the best person My favorite restaurant and it’s my Day 🌸❤️ #Genova #Buffetsushi

I am a sea-viewing and wave-listening tour + global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1597th travel shot in 56 countries/regions in 5 continents) Ferrari Square (Piazza de Ferrari) is located in the bustling city streets of Genoa. The center of the square is a gorgeous large fountain, this fountain has a series of nozzles that spray water into the pool, changing with the beat of the music, dreamlike. Surrounding the fountain are many important buildings, including the Governor's Mansion, Carlo Felice Theatre, Genoa Stock Exchange, and Baroque-style Jesus Cathedral, etc. These buildings have a long history, most of them are 18th and 19th-century buildings, very distinctive. To the east of the square is Genoa's main street, "September 20th Street". Not far to the southeast of the square is the former residence where the navigator Columbus lived in his youth.
