• City Sightseeing Stop Cruise Terminal - The tour begins at the bus stop located just outside the Cruise Terminal.

• Piazza Caricamento - The Aquarium of Genoa features 43 tanks, including 4 open-air ones in the Cetacean Pavilion, covering a total area of 27,000 square meters. The tanks house approximately 15,000 animals from 400 different species, including fish, marine mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, in environments that replicate their natural habitats for educational purposes.

• Centro storico di Genova - Genoa’s historic center is the heart of the old city, characterized by a labyrinth of medieval alleys known as caruggi.

• Piazza Raffaele De Ferrari - This is the main square of Genoa, located in the city’s heart, serving as its commercial, financial, and economic center, and a focal point during significant city events. The square’s current appearance was shaped in the early 20th century with the construction of three streets converging from the east: via XX Settembre (1892-1901), via Dante, and via Petrarca (1901-1915), along with four large eclectic-style buildings, built between 1899 and 1923, housing companies and institutions. On the opposite side, the neoclassical buildings from the early 19th century by Carlo Barabino, including the Carlo Felice theater (1827) and the Palazzo dell’Accademia ligustica di belle arti (1831), contrast with these.

• Piazza della Vittoria - Piazza della Vittoria is one of Genoa’s most central and largest squares. The area around the square has been inhabited since ancient times. Before its construction in the 1930s, this flat area existed.

• Boccadasse - This ancient seaside village in Genoa features pastel-colored houses clustered around a small bay. Despite being surrounded by the city, it has remained largely unchanged over time, resembling its appearance from a century or two ago. Some fishermen still practice their traditional trade.

• Corso Italia - This is one of Genoa’s main thoroughfares, stretching approximately 2.2 km along the sea. Built in the early 20th century, it quickly became a popular spot for Sunday strolls among the Genoese, earning its reputation as the city’s premier promenade.

• Via XX Settembre - Constructed in the late 19th century, this street was created by straightening and widening via Giulia and via della Consolazione to provide a new road to the east, which previously lacked adequate outlets for the city’s urban expansion. The street’s name was a subject of heated debate until the desire to commemorate the historic date of the Fall of Rome prevailed.

The street was strongly supported by Mayor Andrea Podestà but opposed by residents due to the necessary demolition of homes and shops. The Rimedio church’s religious community, expropriated for the street’s construction, was particularly against it. Other demolitions included the Sant’Andrea prison, which faced government opposition.

• Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta di Carignano - This basilica, located atop the Carignano hill, is one of the most renowned Genoese works by Galeazzo Alessi and a prime example of Renaissance architecture in the city. The sculptures by Pierre Puget and Filippo Parodi inside are among the finest masterpieces of Genoese Baroque. Its prominent position makes it visible from many parts of the city, with four identical façades, though partially obscured by modern buildings.

Construction began in the mid-16th century and continued into the early 17th century, with further work in subsequent centuries.

• Piazza Corvetto - This is one of Genoa’s largest and most elegant squares, featuring gardens and flower beds along avenues leading to the nearby Acquasola park and Villetta di Negro. At its center stands an imposing equestrian statue dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II of Savoy. The Franzoniana Library is located here, and nearby are the Duse and Politeama theaters, the Mazzini Gallery, and the Villetta Dinegro. The pedestrian underpasses of Piazza Corvetto have been periodically decorated with temporary galleries, known as Falsi d’autore, featuring reproductions of works by artists like Van Gogh, Kandinsky, and Magritte.
• Spianata Castelletto - This residential neighborhood is situated on the hills overlooking Genoa’s historic center. The area, divided into lots and developed in the mid-19th century, stretches between Piazza Goffredo Villa and the Luigi Montaldo belvedere, a panoramic terrace offering views of the historic center’s rooftops, the ancient port basin, “Strada Nuova” (via Garibaldi), and the buildings below with hanging gardens housing municipal offices, designed in the 1950s by Franco Albini. This panoramic view, popularized by early 20th-century photographs, is now one of Genoa’s most iconic images.
• Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato - This church is one of the most representative examples of Genoese art from the late Mannerism period and, notably, the early 17th-century Baroque.
• Via Balbi - As one of Genoa’s main streets, Via Balbi was designed as early as 1585, representing an urban planning effort to decentralize luxury residences from the historic center to new, less densely built, quieter, and more peripheral areas of the city.
• Villa del Principe - This historic villa, built in the 16th century, is one of Genoa’s main historic villas. At the time of its construction, it was located outside the city walls. The villa has undergone multiple interventions and stratifications, making a unified definition challenging.
• City Sightseeing Genova - The tour concludes here, where visitors can choose to use their Hop On Hop Off ticket as they wish.
