Genoa Private Daytrip from Milan by Car

Genoa Private Daytrip from Milan by Car

What if I told you that there is a hidden gem in the North, a place that few people regard, totally off the beaten path yet only 2 hours away from Milan… what if I told you that this place, nevertheless, once used to be the dominating force in the Mediterranean? What if I told you Christopher Columbus and Marco Polo… what if I told you Italy’s main harbour, where almost all emigrants left from towards the United States of America, and so maybe even your own Italian ancestors?

A city you have never seen before as such, great in its medieval glory, devotional to the sea yet embraced by tall mountains, the most densely built medieval city centre of Europe, buildings as old as 900 years yet still normally inhabited - daily life and hidden activities?

Oh you would only dream to visit such a town, if only you knew it existed. This I heard so often before: If only I knew …

Well, now you know. Don’t miss Genoa. I will take you there.
