Though many buildings have been converted to museums, and some restoration work is going on, it is very pleasant to walk on this street and view the historical buildings.

Many of the old Genoa villas are located along this street. Easy walk and part of the historic center.

Remember Sunday is free entrance into all the Museums (Old Palaces) on the Via Garibaldi, the buildings (their architecture and decoration) are spectacular, the street wide the ambience fabulous. Over all just a wonderful way to spend a day or more. Just don't forget to go around corners and into little allyways aswell, there much beauty to be seen.

Walk around this incredible city but stick to the roads around this area for a fantastic experience with incredible architecture.

I was in Genoa in December 2012 with friends. It was a Monday, so the palazzi on this street were closed. However, we were able to step inside several of the buildings. I loved the architecture and the frescos on the ceilings and walls. Genoa is a beautiful city. We were there for just one day but I look forward... More

Definitely take the time to have a wonder down here, both during the day and when lit up a nights. Gorgeous architecture.

This is a great walk, although you won't be able to see the whole front of the buildings 'cause the street is not large enough. And damn on the never ending paving works!

It was really messy when we were there, difficult to walk along due to roadworks which had been left in a poor state & there was not all that much to see from the street itself. The best parts are the Palazzo's on that street, which are best viewed from inside (8E for 3 Palazzo's)

One can see that Genoa was a rich city 500 years ago when several beautiful houses were built next to each other more or less like in New York at the end of the 19th century
