The most UNDERRATED city in Italy - Genoa (Genova)

After a wonderful time in Venice, we make the train journey to Genoa (or Genova in Italian), Italy. Genoa is a beautiful port city and is the capital of the Italian region of Liguria. Don't miss this awesome city. We spend our first day doing our favorite activity--just getting lost. We also enjoy our first meal out in quite a while, thanks to some very kind generosity. While it took us a while to understand the menu, we got there and it was so, so worth it. Cheers to traveling and all the highs and lows that come with it.

A bit of history: the English flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 is actually the flag of the Republic of Genoa (the cross of St. George). The ships of Genoa were so powerful that when pirates saw her at sea they stayed away from them. For this reason, in 1100 the King of England Richard the Lionheart asked Genoa for permission to use the flag to keep pirates away from English ships. Genoa granted the flag for an annual fee. England paid the annual fee until 1770, then felt it did not have to pay it any more and simply appropriated it. Moral of the story: the English flag is actually Italian🤣🤣🤣

Genua is so underrated, it is full of history and very very beautiful.

Genoa is the city of "pesto".
Pasta and pesto, or pizza and pesto is so great!
If you go in Recco (little city near Genova) there is the famous "focaccia di Recco". Taste it 😋

I was in Genoa a few years ago and loved it. Had some of my most memorable meals in all my travels there.

[rafaelvega]

I love Genoa. It's by far my favorite city in Italy. The pasta pesto is the best in the whole country.

Caruggi, the historic centre of genova is very underrated, it could be as touristic as the centres of florence and bologna for example

[Barbara_M.]

Torino definitely is worth a visit in one of your next trips. For a while it's been Italy's capital and the kind of Italy and the real family lived there so there are a lot of historical evidence, it is also a city full of cultural energy with many amenities.

1:18 is Monte Rosa, Switzerland is on the other (north) side of that +4000m mountain

Genoa and Florence - my favourites in Italy

Good job on this. Besides the sightseeing, the best part of traveling is trying the local food.

I live in London and actually ordered a gyros today. Mind you, I am Italian and used to live in the Netherlands as well. I do not know why things get both so pricey AND so lacking of veggies. I miss the amount of veggies in every roll in Italy, as it is healthier, more delicious, and you also do not get sick after eating it. You literally pointed out something that has been coming into my mind for quite a few years. Like, it looks to me that I need to put an effort to eat more veggies abroad. It is frustrating and I also gained weight. Sorry. A bit of mouth diarrhoea over something that you pointed out and totally agree with you about.

[sarakarwal]

So good to see you two happy eating real food. This video was very pleasing 😀 you guys looked really happy today.

I enjoyed your video for visiting Genova.
I’m living Genova for three years I know all. The place you visited.
I will also watch your other video as well!

[strikedn]

Just another underrated place we have in Italy. We have so many that even us Italians can fathom. If you have time, go back to Turin, downtown is amazing. Enjoy your stay.

I love your gratefulness. Genoa looks really cool

[enricomiceli]

I like how excited you are for vegetables
