I've forgotten so much, but there was not a sight or museum or gallery I did not enjoy - I was just extremely pressed for time.

It's quite difficult to find this palazzo, hidden in Genoa's backstreets, but certainly worth the effort. It has two floors of restored grand rooms, dripping with paintings, objets d'art and furniture. Then there's a small art gallery with works by Rubens, van Dyck and Tintoretto. It was absolutely deserted when I visited - a member of staff had to accompany... More

An other genovese gem of riches, style and history. Good art collection with a finale ona high: a Ruebens. Also good textile exihinit on last floor. Try to get there at allocated times for visits and even if yo speak Italian, preted you don't - you may end up with a knowledgeable chaperron (visitors must stay together at all times... More

Loved the old maps and seeing the Rubens in the final room. The view from the rooftop garden is very pretty

Very in agreement with the previous reviewer AnnArbor. The EUR4 entrance fee is worthwhile as there are approximately 4 floors to see of various period antiques. The actual area of the museum is a little seedy even if it is only a 3 minute walk off via Garibaldi - EVERYONE told me to watch my bag as they told me... More

Galleria Nazionale, Palazzo Spinola, The National Gallery or Palazzo Spinola National Gallery are all one in the same! It is a wonderful museum and former home of the Spinola family, so it contains some of the original furnishings and their extensive picture collection, including works by Antonello Messina, Peter Paul Rubens, Anton Van Dyck, Bernardo Strozzi, and Joos van Cleeve....
