wantocruisemore Posted October 13, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I had planned to just do Genoa on our own and have a relaxing walk around to the shops and some of the sites, but then realized we will be there on a Sunday. Will this impact our shopping and touring? I know that we could do a ship's excursion to Portofino but we really don't like ship's excursions except as a last resort. I've been trying to research Genoa and it seems there are several small things to do. The biggest thing seems to be the Aquarium but we are not interested in that after swimming with dolphins, sea lions and manatees last year in the caribbean and several trips to Sea World in Florida plus the Aquarium in our own state and also in New Orleans recently. We like history and while scenery is nice, my oldest DD and DH are not into just riding and looking at scenery for all day. We are in port at Genoa 7am to 7pm. It's one of their embarkation ports but we're getting on the day before in Civitavecchia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euro cruiser Posted October 26, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2011 The city of Genova has an excellent tourism web site (in English) with lots of ideas here: http://www.turismo.comune.genova.it/spip.php?lang=en I think we stopped there on a Sunday several years ago ... I remember that the shops were closed in the morning but opened around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted October 28, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks so much for the response!!! I'm heading to check out the website now. Looks like it will be a DIY day hitting a couple of places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted October 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I'll be doing the same so will have a look through later too. (We have a big aquarium here so it's not a top priority for us either.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
