Bilocale in Via San Remo 122

The cluster sits inside the built-up area of the city of Genova. The city lies on the Ligurian Sea and has an active commercial port and passenger ferry terminal around the Porto Antico. The hinterland rises steeply into the Ligurian Apennines; local summits within a few kilometres include Monte Fasce and Monte Gazzo. Two principal torrent valleys cross the city: the Polcevera to the west and the Bisagno to the east. Public parks and seaside promenades are present in parts of the city, notably the Parchi di Nervi east of the historic centre. Genoa Cristoforo Colombo airport is within the metropolitan area a few kilometres from the centre. The historic centre contains the Rolli palaces and the Strade Nuove, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Porto Antico area includes the Acquario di Genova and ferry connections to Sardinia, Corsica and other Mediterranean destinations. The urban area has major railway stations (Genova Piazza Principe, Genova Brignole) and motorway links (A7/A12). The city and province are known for Genoese food specialities such as pesto alla genovese, focaccia and farinata and for a long maritime and mercantile history.
