We took the train from Santa Margherita into Genoa, a very enjoyable 40 minute ride with lovely views of the seaside. The city has a prosperous and cosmopolitan feel to it. Genoa has a proud nautical history which has been celebrated in recent years by the rejuvenation of the old port area and the opening of a maritime museum and Europe’s largest aquarium. But apart from a quick walk around the port we didn’t visit any of that so here’s what you’re getting instead.
Now where’d I leave my bike?? |  This lovely old guy played his evocative sax music to the passers by ….. | ….. he is right in the middle of this covered arcade on the main shopping street – you had to be there to appreciate the fantastic acoustics |
 The impressive fountain in the central piazza |  |  A flavour of the cultural heritage in the narrow streets of the old town |
