Between a focaccia dipped in cappuccino for breakfast and a plate of trofie with pesto, the 10 essential stops to get to know it in depth and fall in love with it.

The Doge's Palace is one of the most symbolic historical sites in the city of Genoa: residence of the Doge since 1339, today it is the main center of cultural production in the city.
