We wouldn’t blame you for thinking you’ve walked into a picture postcard when you first step foot in Boccadasse, a scenic Genovese suburb. This picturesque fishing village is an hour’s train ride away from the centre. Once there, you will be awestruck by the colourful houses, the fishing quarters, the colour of the sea, the warmth in the air and everything in between. Boccadasse showcases Liguarian splendour in its true glory. There is an impressive castle and alleys that resemble a Woody Allen film set. There are dozens of cafés, bars, and restaurants by the sea-side. Make sure you go for a walk by the sea and dip a toe in the water, which is said to have healing properties.
