#1: A promenade in the historical city centre<\/h3>\n

In 1538 the poet Francesco Petrarca wrote about Genova:<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will see a majestic town, backed against the hills of the Alps, superb both for its men and its walls<\/strong>, the view of which alone suggests its being dominant over the sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Via<\/p>\n

From the train station take Via Balbi<\/strong>.
\nIt is an avenue with arcades<\/strong> where you can find many universities, the dean and, most importantly the Royal Palace<\/strong>, UNESCO heritage site.<\/p>\n

Going further on, on via Balbi, to your right you will notice Santa Brigada Rise<\/strong>: we strongly advise you to make a small detour in order to visit the few ancient wash houses survived up to the present day, surrounded by the colourful houses of the centre.<\/p>\n

Via Balbi ends in Piazza della Nunziata<\/strong>. From here head towards Zecca square and then take via Cairoli. Going all the way down you will reach Via Garibaldi, one of the most beautiful pedestrian roads in Genoa. In fact, it is part of the UNESCO heritage, too.<\/p>\n

Sumptuous palaces, once belonged to the Genoese noblemen, face this street. Amongst the most captivating you will find the Rolli Palace and the Red Palace.
\nThose amazing places are open to the public Twice a year during the Rolli Days events, which are organised by the town of Genova.<\/p>\n
