Beyond the “Caruggi” – the picturesque medieval alleyways of the historic centre – lie wide, grid-patterned streets flanked by elegant thoroughfares: Via XX Settembre, Via XXV Aprile and Via Roma, which form the so-called “quadrilatero” by the sea along Via XX Settembre.

It is precisely from the “quadrilatero” facing the sea that shopping in Genoa can begin, with sought-after, high-quality brands, particularly British ones; indeed: commercial and economic ties with England are perfectly in tune with the understated style and aversion to ostentation that are so typically Genoese: wool, tartan, tweed and velvet, in shops that are often over a century old; after all, Genoa was once the European capital of silk fabric production.


Whilst the ‘Caruggi’ are the hub of artisan tailors offering creative garments, workshops producing handmade shoes and bags, and ethnic clothing shops; Via San Luca and Via degli Orefici also offer antique shops, workshops and artisanal shops; moreover, in Via degli Orefici you will find shops and businesses dealing in jewellery, gold and watches. Another key destination for exclusive shopping is the Serravalle Designer Outlet, where you can find the best Italian and international fashion brands at discounted prices, and thanks to the tour organised by the Hotel Bristol Palace, you can shop at the outlet in complete peace of mind.

The second itinerary leads you through Savona and onwards to major attraction such as Imperia, San Remo and Ventimiglia. Riviera di Ponente is the coastal stretch which leads from Genoa towards Ventimiglia, taking us past the towns of Cogoleto, Arenzano, Pegli and Sestri Ponente which has become a veritable neighbourhood of Genoa, up to Varazze and Celle Ligure, both famous coastal towns, constantly growing in virtue of their winning mix of history and modernity.
