You'll walk through the small street of the biggest European Historical Center, the shopping streets, the antiques shops and the stunning palaces of the Genoese Healthy merchants of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries.
A few stops will be made to get refreshments in small, old and original bars, and also to eat the phenomenal real focaccia that has been invented in this city, without forgetting to put some pesto sauce on it! You will also taste the Focaccia with onion and the one with cheese while drinking a glass of Prosecco, at around 11.00 am. Visit the city's best view point and down again to the city center to visit the superb Royal Palace and all the best monuments of the city.
After that, it's time to head straight to one of the last real Trattoria of the city, to taste delicious ravioli and a glass of red wine. Afterwards it'll be time to rest a bit in front of the sea for a coffee, and to enjoy the sea breeze. Afterwards, take a unique lift that moves horizontally first and then vertically to reach a striking little castle in the middle of the city; then head to the old part of the city where you'll be impressed by the 'African Mile'; thanks to its diversity, here you may feel like you could be in an African capital, Casablanca or Dakar or Dar Es Salaam. The small restaurants nearby sell cous cous, djebu dje, frijoles, and tajin.
The tour continues with a 10 minute train ride and you will arrive in Nervi Parks, a lovely green oasis and then a visit to the Luxoro Museum, a small enchanting museum immerse in a magic atmosphere in front of the sea. And now, aperitivo time! Take the train to Quarto (6 minutes) and welcome to 'The Monu Cafe', the best bar in front of the sea in the city. The sunset here is something unique and, as you will see, so is the mojito. The tour will then end at about 6pm.
