Genoa Historic Shops Tour

Genoa Historic Shops Tour

On this tour, we will visit the oldest stores and traditional workshops in Genoa and learn about their historical significance. We will meet at the designated time on Via Garibaldi to begin our exploration of the historic shops in this port city.

The tour will focus on artisan workshops and local shops that have been operating for a minimum of 70 years, with some in continuous operation for over two centuries. We will visit various establishments including costume stores, confectioneries, and patisseries. Additionally, each participant will receive a small package with traditional products from one of the shops.

Throughout the tour, we will discuss how these historic businesses receive special protection and the criteria they must fulfill to be recognized as architectural and cultural assets valuable to the city.

The tour lasts for 2 hours, concluding near the original meeting point.
