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.
