In recent decades, Genoa has strongly rediscovered its vocation for tourism, offering, also in terms of hospitality, refurbished and redeveloped facilities, new hotels and a network of B&B, guest houses, boarding houses… to rival any European capital.
In beautiful Genoa, rich in palaces, churches, theaters, and historic gardens, tourists can easily indulge in a wide range of accommodations: from starred hotels embodying the maritime soul of the city, to simpler B&Bs (many of which are housed in historic palaces and charming noble residences), where the service is nevertheless attentive and careful, making them excellent bases for visiting the historic center and the main attractions.
But beyond Genoa, the whole Liguria region is a small mecca of hospitality; one of the first Italian regions to engage with mass tourism, thanks to the border location with France and, naturally, the sea, the coast, and the fascinating hinterland. For many decades, the Ligurian coast has been, especially for northwestern Italians, synonymous with beach holidays, second homes, and a weekend getaway.
