Boccadasse
A colourful little fishing village in the east of the city, with a pebble cove, painted houses and ice cream shops, a favourite sunset spot for locals.
Boccadasse is a well-preserved fishing village within Genoa. Its coloured houses surround a small pebble cove where fishing boats rest on the shore. It has the feel of the Cinque Terre but is much quieter. You can walk along the seafront promenade, Corso Italia, from Foce in about 30 minutes, or take a bus. The cove has ice cream shops and seafood restaurants, and on weekend evenings it fills with locals watching the sunset. About 10 minutes' walk east is another fishing village, Vernazzola, which is also peaceful and charming.
