Genoa with Kids - Family Attractions and Tips

Genoa is surprisingly fun for kids, especially the Old Port area.

Top Stops for Families

1. Porto Antico (The Hub) - Stop #1

• The Neptune Galleon: An actual pirate ship built for the movie Pirates by Roman Polanski. Kids can climb all over it.
• Città dei Bambini e dei Ragazzi: A massive interactive science and sensory museum recently renovated.
• De Amicis Library: A library at the warehouse, great for a quiet break.

2. Corso Italia

• The promenade is flat and wide—perfect if you brought a stroller. There are playgrounds along the route.

3. Villetta Di Negro (near Corvetto Stop)

• A park with a waterfall and caves. It feels like an adventure.

Tips

• Strollers: HOHO buses usually require you to fold the stroller. Be prepared.
• Food: Focaccia is the ultimate kid-friendly snack. Cheap, portable, and delicious.
