Only a few steps from Hotel Bristol Palace, the Royal Palace in Genoa is one of the most beautiful in Italy and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The palace has preserved its interiors almost intact and complete with original furniture and works of art of the highest quality. The collections of the house-museum include property of the noble families who built and inhabited it, furnishing and renewing it over the centuries.
The visit, today as in the past for those who embarked on the Grand Tour, is a journey into the history of the city and its richness presenting some evidence of how it has turned into beauty: The Gallery of Mirrors tells the infallible taste of the Genoese, of their cosmopolitanism, of the direct and intense relations with the markets, the residences and the artists of the rest of Europe. Visiting the interiors - with collections of sculptures, paintings, marbles and precious fabrics, golden woods and crystal chandeliers - and the exteriors - the roof garden and terraces - you can relive grandiose atmospheres or more intimate and unforgettable views of the harbor.
