Genova | The Italian Adventure

We are finally ready to premiere!

Welcome to my channel, I really appreciate the support!

My Italian experience is properly under way, and my first feature on the channel is on the Ligurian Coast in sensational Genova!

Genova (or Genoa in English) is a city with so much to offer to its visitors, and I am so eager to recommend it as it is so much more then just a gateway to more well-known nearby towns. Andiamo! Let's go!

Please like and comment on the video, and stay tuned, as more episodes will be on the way!

P.S. Did you know that I'm a travel advisor? Going to Italy or perhaps to another bucket-list destination? I'd love to work with you so feel free to contact me for more information!

"Something About David" is my blog where I will be sharing written stories on my website, and vlogs on Youtube. Follow me as I explore Italy from thigh to toe, immersing myself in the culture, traditions, food and history of this beautiful country. I want to highlight this country that I love so dearly through my personal lens as a traveller from Canada.

Thank you for talking about my city, such an underrated destination in Italy, yet so nice and unique. You presented it very well, and carefully.
Cheers mate! :)

[WanderlustJourney]

Congratulations on your first video! I absolutely loved it! I can’t wait to explore Genoa (or Genova) in the future!

Also, great you made a video, because here we feel that we're not so considered outside Italy. Also, you've a good pronunciation of the city name. Keep it up😃

Phenomenal presentation ! @10.14 "You might have to wait in a line to enjoy some gelato." Well, that is one of the best gelato places in the entire city !

What an extraordinary seaport city. It has a long maritime history. I had no idea how beautiful the buildings were with painted facades and ornate decoration. I have often wondered and seen other videos but none covering as much as yours. Thank you.

[alessioferrante]

hey, what a wonderful video! It has a lot of information about the city, the music is relaxing, the photography is so nice and you illustrate every part very well, I actually live in Genova but although I already know these places I really enjoyed watching this video! also your italian pronunciation is pretty good

[mohammedsharif]

Great work… outstanding! You are very talented. Thank you 👏👏👏😀

[AndreaComini]

Very thorough video of Genova, covers for real the main sights without focusing only on a couple like others I have seen. Really well done.

[riccardomorgagni]

Ok, I'd never expect to find a video of my city randomly in the recommended section, made by a foreign tourist.

[slkonnaris]

I love your video of Genoa- thank you for sharing your trip with us❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice video and it's always good to see someone who comes from abroad to review Genoa. Indeed, we are too often overlooked by the main tourist routes.

The only criticism I feel is related to the fact that only the city center was visited.

Genoa is 20 Km long (West-East) and almost every neighborhood has its own ancient churches, historic palaces and villas, parks, etc ... indeed the various Genoese neighborhoods were nineteen independent municipalities until 1926, when they were unified with the central one, the historical Genoa. Some suffered from strong building speculation in the 60s / 70s (a period of intense immigration from the central and southern Italy) which makes the town seem a continuous whole, but anyway they have maintained a strong identity.
However, despite having passed almost a century, the vast majority of tourist guides / television documentaries / the same institutional tourist promotion, seem to be interested only in what is present in the area of ​​the "historical" (central) Genoa, neglecting the more decentralized districts, so unfortunately it's a generalized problem.

If you were to return, I would like to recommend the "Villa Duchessa di Galliera" in Voltri with its large historical park, the "Parco Villa Durazzo Pallavicini" in Pegli (unfortunately this isn't free), the "Sanctuary of Nostra Signora del Monte Gazzo" above the neighborhood of Sestri Ponente, from which you can see a panorama that sweeps for a good part of the west ligurian coast, and the "Anita Garibaldi promenade" in the Nervi district (unfortunately in recent years a very lacking in maintenance), with its parks and art museums.

Staying in the city center, there is also the Castello d'Albertis-Montegalletto lift, near the Principe station, which is often the destination of groups of civil engineers and public transport fan, due to its particular conformation (a horizontal section, followed by a vertical one), which leads to the museum of cultures of the D'Albertis Castle (a 19th century palace built in the likeness of a little medieval castles).
