Eat
It is virtually impossible to have a bad dining experience in Genoa. Value for money is incredible and the Genovese love for impeccable ingredients and crafty preparations makes it a true hotspot for foodies. It has its own signature dishes such as pesto and focaccia, yet the city virtually offers the full range of excellent Italian & world dishes given its trading culture & diversity. On top, the Ligurian cuisine exploits fully its geography, combining mountanins with the sea ('mare & monte').
Drink
Taking an aperitivo on a sunny terrace is an art of Genovese living. As the day gently surrenders itself to the night, you might want to carry on in the better beer and wine bars.
