🇮🇹 Travel Diary: Give Genoa Just Half a Day, You Won’t Regret It! ✨

Plot twist: I randomly picked Genoa as a transit stop from Italy back to Nice—and it stole my heart! ❤️ 🚞 Morning Escape from Pisa ▪️ Hopped on a train to Genova Piazza Principe (left luggage at station �) ▪️ Took a bus to Piazza De Ferrari (but got off 2 stops early—best decision!). ▪️ Every alley was a photo op – pastel walls, laundry lines, espresso-sipping nonnas. 📸 🌊 Highlights in 4 Hours Flat: 1️⃣ Columbus’ Childhood Home 🏠 A tiny, time-warped 15th-century house (€5 entry). 2️⃣ Bus #42 to Boccadasse 🚌 (20 mins) "Mini Cinque Terre" with candy-colored houses + pebble beaches. Pro tip: Walk the cliffside path for turquoise wave close-ups. 3️⃣ Slow Coastal Magic ☀️ Let the salt wind mess up your hair. Watch locals play waterfront chess. ♟️ 💡 Why Genoa? ▪️ Zero crowds, all vibes – it’s Italy’s "unpolished diamond". ▪️ Cheap & easy – trains/buses cost less than gelato. #SlowTravel #GenoaSecrets #HiddenItaly
