Foot travel adventure Genoa

#Adventurous Traveler Genoa is located close to the bay and is the largest commercial port in Italy. It is the second largest port on the Mediterranean coast after Marseille. It is also an important industrial center, forming the industrial triangle of Italy with Milan and Turin. Long before the founding of ancient Rome, Ligurians had lived here. It was once an administrative region of the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, it fell under Byzantine rule and was later occupied by the Lombards and Franks. From the 12th to the 16th century, it gradually prospered thanks to the Crusades and established an independent and powerful maritime republic. Although there are subways and buses, it is still more interesting to travel and adventure on foot, walking up the mountains, down the water and along the coast. From the Sunday flea market in Piazza Ferrari to the Red Palace, from the church to the fountain, I followed the example of the great adventurer Christopher Columbus, whose hometown was Genoa.
