Genova (or Genoa) is the last direction of my trip on June 16, 2007. The distance is only 2 hours by train from Torino. I arrived there in Piazza Principe station around 12.30. At that time, I only have an A4 paper of map that contains the location that I have to visit. It is not clear. Just following my feeling that I turned left from the station gate and walk .. walk .. Genoa is a city located in the beach with moutaineous area. 'Browsing' Genoa is like climbing a small mountain, go up .. go down ..

My first destination is absolutely the see. From anyparts of the city, there are many signs of the direction that you have to go. So quite easy to find. The beach is nice with many attaction inside. You can visit big aquarium or see an anciet type of Europe battle ship. The most beautiful part is in ancient port with big 'bigo', big glass ball contains plants 'la bolla', and you can walk through a long dock.

Genoa is not offering only his beach view beauty. In the downtown, there are many places that old, amazing, and nice. For example, the cathedral which has brick (marble) colour is black and white, like zebra. Near there, also you can see the big gate (with two big big cylindrical wall) as the landmark of Genova city. Walking in the downtown is also interesting. The space between the buiding is very narrow, so it is look like 'snake' or 'mouse' street.
