Genoa
Genoa is the great port of Liguria, rising in an amphitheatre between the sea and the hills. Its historic centre, one of the largest in Europe, mixes medieval lanes, Renaissance palaces and lively squares, and the Palazzi dei Rolli have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2006. The Lanterna, a sixteenth-century lighthouse, has watched over the harbour entrance for centuries, while the Aquarium, opened in 1992 in the Porto Antico redeveloped by Renzo Piano, draws visitors from all over Italy. Focaccia and pesto, both born here, are best tasted before you board.
Tangier Med
Arriving at Tangier Med, the ferry docks in a port built on the edge of the Strait, facing the Spanish coast. Police control, customs and vehicle formalities are done on the spot, and the road then leads to the motorway for Tangier (about forty-five minutes), Tetouan or Rabat. Allow time to leave the port in July and August, when many travellers arrive.
