Palazzo Ducale

MuseumGenoa & PortofinoAbout 1.5 hours

The doge's palace of the Genoese republic, now the city's main exhibition space, opening onto the central square at one end and the old town at the other. Worth checking what is on rather than visiting for the permanent collection. The tower gives a view over the roofs.
