Genoa Shore Excursion: Old Town & Boccadasse Fishing Village
Guaranteed Return to Your Ship – 15-Minute Walk from Cruise Port Designed specifically for cruise passengers, this small-group Genoa shore excursion (max 8 guests) allows you to explore the authentic heart of the city at a relaxed pace. Your experience is scheduled around your ship’s docking time, with guaranteed return to the port for complete peace of mind. Walk through Genoa’s historic center with a knowledgeable local guide, visiting Piazza De Ferrari, Christopher Columbus’ House, and admiring the striking black-and-white façade of San Lorenzo Cathedral. Then enjoy a short 15-minute local bus ride to the picturesque seaside village of Boccadasse, a former fishing village where pastel houses overlook the Ligurian Sea. Stroll along the waterfront, take beautiful photos, and, if you wish, taste freshly baked Genoese focaccia. Return comfortably to the city center with plenty of time to walk back to your cruise ship feeling relaxed, enriched, and connected to the real Genoa.

Where this sits in Genoa & Portofino
Genoa & Portofino is about 12 min by road from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport. A working port with a tangled old town and better food than its reputation, and the Riviera villages start immediately east. Portofino for the look of it; Genoa for actually staying.
