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.
Porto Torres
Porto Torres is the main port of north-western Sardinia: ferries from Genoa, Civitavecchia, Toulon and Barcelona arrive here, mostly after an overnight crossing. Sassari, the island’s second city, is about twenty kilometres away, and Alghero about forty. For travellers without a car, the train links Porto Torres to Sassari, then to Cagliari.
