Genoa: A brief guide

Genoa is one of the few Italian cities that has assimilated many of its neighbouring countries’ culture and habits. Predominantly a banker and merchant town, it has been referred to by some as Italy’s most English city. Behind the wheel of a car hire, Genoa can be enjoyed as carefree and as exhaustively as you wish.

Your Genoa car hire can get you in and around the city’s most visited landmarks as well as little known corners where you can enjoy relative quiet in this bustling commercial centre. When you book with Pronto, the Italian car hire specialists, your biggest concern in Genoa will be what to see next - everything has been taken of so you can enjoy your time with relative ease. However you get to the city - whether via the small Cristoforo Colombo airport, the Principe and Brignole train stations or through ferries at the port, you can have your Genoa car hire waiting in the most convenient places for you to pick up.

Refined palaces stand side by side in Genoa with humble houses in the historic centre, a most enthralling place that can keep visitors busy all day long. Beautiful churches with striking baroque architecture are scattered throughout with each enrapturing site a mere short drive away.

In many of the less prominent alleyways of the historic centre, you can stop by for refreshments and food among the street vendors, where the smell of coffee, pesto and fried delicacies fill the air with appetizing aroma. You can also leave the old sights and bring your Genoa car hire down to walking path in the Old Port area or to one of the peaceful parks for a stunning view of the cityscape.
