🇮🇹 Genoa, Italy: A Love-Hate Travel Diary 🌊🚌

✨ "Genoa is gritty, chaotic... and utterly magnetic." First Impressions: The Good, The Bad & The Free ▪️ "Dirty but dazzling" – Yes, the streets are grubby (watch for dog poop mosaics 💩), but the port sparkles like a diamond. ▪️ Secret freebie: Metro is free 10AM-4PM (but buses aren’t – we "accidentally" rode twice without tickets 😇). ▪️ Pasta pilgrimage: As the birthplace of Italian pasta, Genoa’s seafood spaghetti 🍝 will ruin all other noodles for you. 🚇 Transport Chaos 101 No ticket machines? Some stations hide them like Easter eggs. Bus vs Metro: Think of it as free hugs (metro) vs paid handshakes (buses). Pro tip: Download AMT Genova app to buy digital tickets. 🍴 Must-Eat Moment 📍 Trattoria da Maria (Hidden near Piazza de Ferrari) Order: Trofie al pesto (UNESCO-listed dish!) + anchovy-stuffed focaccia. €20 for a meal that’ll make you forgive the city’s messiness. 📸 Instagram vs Reality ✅ Porto Antico: Renzo Piano’s glowing lighthouse ✨ ❌ Side streets: Where "authentic" means dodging scooters & mystery puddles. 💡 Why Genoa Grows On You 1️⃣ No tourist traps – just real Italians yelling about football. 2️⃣ Day trips to Camogli (like Cinque Terre’s cooler little sister). 3️⃣ That one perfect espresso at Bar Giannotti (€1.20 heaven). #NoFilterGenoa #ItalianGrit
