In Genoa there is only the embarrassment of the choice to visit indoor places;\u00a0the last time I bought a card that allowed access to all the museums for 48 hours and included the Palazzo del Principe, the Museums of Strada Nuova, the Royal Palace and the Galata Museo del Mare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WHAT TO DO IN GENOA WHEN IT RAIN<\/h2>\n

If during the day you have time without piovischi, you can probably also take a\u00a0one-hour\u00a0cruise<\/strong>\u00a0of the port itself, both the old port and the new modern port (which is not only the main port of Italy, which ships marble , olive oil, pasta and motorcycles, but it is also the port of Switzerland).\u00a0Genoa has been, for a millennium, at the center of globalization.<\/p>\n

Try the\u00a0San Lorenzo Cathedral museum<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0until noon, and reopen again around 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm.\u00a0Following is the suggestion for a visit to\u00a0the Oriental Market<\/strong>\u00a0and to the shopping streets that surround it (via Galata and via San Vicenzo).\u00a0The market is open in the morning until about 12.30 and reopens after 3.30.<\/p>\n

Caruggi of Genoa<\/h3>\n

Even in case of rain, grab an umbrella and challenge the\u00a0caruggi<\/strong>\u00a0of the old town, which are actually the largest intact medieval quarter of Europe.\u00a0Enter the myriad of shops, many of which date back to the turn of the century, and are much larger than they appear to be judged by their fronts of narrow shops, while deep underground.\u00a0Go back to the light of the day and take a walk along the Strada Nuova.<\/p>\n

Where to eat<\/strong>
\nFor a rainy lunch, you could try Novelle Vague (not far from San Lorenzo) or Il Genovese (not far from the Eastern Market).\u00a0Another favorite is Sa Pesta, near the port.<\/p>\n

CASTLES<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mackenzie Castle seems to be open on Monday.\u00a0It is usually not open to the public unless art and antiques auctions are organized and people are allowed to see auction items, so check if there is an open auction.<\/p>\n

Castle of Albertis of Genoa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Traveling by sea and by land between ‘800 and’ 900, the captain placed in his house his world in a romantic setting\u00a0\u00a0at<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0the turn of “rooms of wonders” and colonial trophies.\u00a0His\u00a0\u00a0castle<\/em>\u00a0testifies to the fascination that the worlds far\u00a0\u00a0as<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0he visited exerted on his spirit, impregnated\u00a0\u00a0the<\/em>\u00a0“Genoese” and love …<\/p>\n
