Where to stay in Genoa

Located just steps from the city's famous tourist sites, Genoa's centrally located B&Bs and hotels offer comfortable lodgings suitable for all tastes and budgets. To avoid the expense and stress of driving and parking in Genoa's central districts, look for a boutique hotel just outside the city center. Staying out of the busy heart of Genoa is a practical and affordable compromise, offering a good base for exploring numerous fishing villages located along the coastline. Hostels operating in residential areas also offer private parking and easy access to buses into the center of town.

Wonderful museum that contains a huge collection of Japanese art objects and historical objects (swords, armours...). Very interesting. You have to enter from the "Valletta Di Negro" park (Piazza Corvetto)

Un museo molto interessante, immerso in un'area verde davvero bella. Il più importante museo di Arte Orientale in Italia e tra i più importanti d'Europa. Peccato che sia poco conosciuto, poco pubblicizzato e poco valorizzato. Ultimamente il Conservatorio di musica fa qualche concerto all'interno di questo museo, speriamo che anche attraverso la musica in questo clima suggestivo venga valorizzato al meglio.

A very interesting Museum, immersed in a green area really nice. The most important Museum of Oriental art in Italy and among the most important in Europe. Too bad it's little known, little noticed and undervalued. Lately the Conservatory of music makes a few gigs inside this Museum, we hope that through music in this atmosphere impressive being exploited.
