Listen Later

Hear about travel to Genoa and Liguria in Italy as the Amateur Traveler talks to Enrica, Ligurian food expert from ASmallKitcheninGenoa.com about her home region in Italy.

Why should you travel to Liguria?

Enrica says, "Liguria is a wonderful region, not just because this is my region, but there are many reasons for traveling here. First of all, for its spectacular scenery. We have a mix of mountains and sea with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and trails. But we also have other fantastic landscapes like the well-known dry and stone walls, so-called Muretti a Secco, which are awarded as a patrimony of UNESCO for their beauty and importance, and of course the world-famous colorful fisherman village facades. Then we have a wonderful veggie-oriented cuisine."

Enrica recommends a 7-day itinerary for visiting Genoa and Liguria in Italy, focusing on authentic experiences beyond Cinque Terre. Here’s her suggested itinerary:

Day 1: Arrival in Genoa & First Impressions
  • Arrive in Genoa via the airport or train from Milan.
  • Stay in a central hotel (preferably outside the old town for safety at night).
  • Start at Spianata Castelletto, a panoramic terrace accessible by public elevator, for a breathtaking view of Genoa.
  • Walk through Caruggi (narrow medieval alleys) and explore historical shops (Botteghe Storiche).
  • Consider taking a food tour with Enrica to taste pesto, farinata, focaccia, and candied fruit.
  • Evening in Boccadasse, a small fishing village within Genoa, ideal for aperitivo or dinner.
