If you like the unexpected then follow the thread of this walking tour through the labyrinth of Genoa’s alleys in the city’s historic centre.

You’ll discover breathtaking works of art behind almost every corner, along with other places where beauty is a carefully guarded secret. You’ll see the main highlights in the city including UNESCO heritage sites, through the eyes of Antonella Cama, a local who loves to share not only the popular but also the authentic and believes that a tour must be more than dates and figures: She’ll take you by the hand into “her” Genova!

Some of the highlights from this self-guided GPS audio tour include:

• Stories of the inhabitants of the opulent medieval residences
• The interiors of Genoa’s richest church
