Taxi from Genoa Airport to Bergamo Airport (Milan Orio)

Genoa is located in the region of Liguria, along the shores of Tyrrhenian sea, and is one of the most important seaport in Italy for both passengers and industry. From Genoa, charming tourist areas like the romantic Cinque Terre, can be easily reached by short transfers.

A portion of Genoa's historical center is included into UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. One of the most amazing features of this area is a dense network of picturesque "carrugi", very narrow streets (alleyways) running between tall multi-colored buildings, so narrow that can be crossed only by pedestrians or bikes, giving to Genoa a "touch of Morocco". The "Lanterna" of Genoa is a 77 meters high lighthouse (Genoa lighthouse), built over a 44 meters high rock and still used as an important navigation aid for ships operating in the main Genoa's harbor. Near the lighthouse there is also a small museum dedicated to the history of Genoa and its seaport. The Aquarium of Genoa is the biggest aquarium in Italy and one of the largest in Europe, it houses fishes and other marine forms of life from all over the world, welcoming more than a million of visitors every year. But beside the main attractions, Genoa has new surprises to offer behind every corner, like the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, the Palace of the Doges and countless churches. The cuisine in Genoa has several specialties typical of Liguria region, not available elsewhere in Italy. Suggested dishes are a kind of pizza ("focaccia" or "farinata", very different from regular Italian pizza) available in dozens of fillings, but where onions, cooked in many different ways, are usually the most common. The "pesto" is instead a special sauce used as topping for spaghetti and other pasta, made by crushing inside a mortar a set of ingredients like ligurian basil leaves, pine nuts, different cheeses, garlic and extra virgin oil of olives.

"Cinque Terre", awaits to be discovered. The area is known for a series of picturesque towns (Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola) built over a rugged portion of ligurian coastline. Beyond the dramatic landscape, the place offers also an excellent wine, not found elsewhere in Italy, coming from vineyards growing into terraces excavated from the mountains. Continuing for about 50 kilometers south-east from Cinque Terre, tourists will find the famous beach resorts of Forte dei Marmi (northern Tuscany) and the Carrara caves, where top quality marble, used since ancient times by famous italian artists, is still extracted. West of Genoa there are beach resorts stretching almost continuously from Savona (50km west of Genoa), Albenga (90km), Imperia (120km), Sanremo (145km), Ventimiglia (165km), well into France, to Monaco (180km), Nice (195km) and Cannes (230km). The ligurian sea has been recently classified as one of the cleanest in Italy.We offer customized shuttle transfers to all these destinations and more, for just yourself and your travel companions.
