Discovering Genoa's most interesting events

A weekend in the Ligurian capital can be the right opportunity to discover the great events that animate the city. Palazzo Ducale, Carlo Felice Theater, Politeama Genovese, National Theater and the Strada Nuova Museums represent the main points of reference for those who wish to experience an extraordinary cultural, leisure or entertainment experience in the former Maritime Republic.

In reality, the whole city participates in this continuous ferment of meetings, reviews and events: the Old Port, the Fair area, the squares of the historic center and every villa, museum or library continuously host congresses, festivals, sports and musical events, markets, trade fairs, appointments for the little ones, commercial initiatives, art exhibitions and much more. Just keep an eye on the calendar: Christmas, Easter but also all the weekends and the summer season, offer the tourist a continuous miscellany of opportunities to discover the traditions of the city and world culture at 360 degrees.

You can experience your favorite artist's concert, the event or the exhibition of the celebrity of the moment: after all, Genoa is the homeland of greats like De Andrè, Paolo Villaggio, Niccolò Paganini, Giuseppe Mazzini, Goffredo Mameli and Christopher Columbus. But Genoa is also the city of exhibitions by international artists, city of historical parades, boat appointments, music, national and international cinema, science, festivals that look to the East and West, photography, sculpture and Flemish painting: after all, Rubens in Genoa is an honorary citizen.

Your trip to Genoa will be much more than a simple walk in one of Europe's most extensive historic centers: it will be a special experience that enriches you at any time of the year. Discover our hotels in Genoa, book your room and get ready to experience the ferment of an interesting, dynamic and lively city.

Five events of Genoa among music, culture, art and tradition

History enthusiasts will be able to periodically attend one of the events that fills the Ligurian city with color and emotion: it is the Regatta of the Ancient Maritime Republics (or Palio), which celebrates the naval campaigns and the glories of the city that dominated the Mediterranean from the 10th century. The nautical event is attended by the other rowing crews from Venice, Amalfi and Pisa: eight rowers and a coxswain challenge each other aboard fiberglass boats, differing in colors and splendid figureheads. The race is preceded by the spectacular Historical Parade of the Ancient Italian Maritime Republics: over 300 costumed figures to the rhythm of drums and clarions, among banners and standards like the cross of St. George.

Among the periodic events that animate the city, and in particular the Marina Fiera Genova, the International Boat Show of Genoa stands out: an annual event dedicated to over 400 companies involved in events, exhibitions and collateral activities celebrating lifestyle and bien vivre. A celebration of Made in Italy and an unmissable event for enthusiasts to admire sailboats, outboard motors, dinghies, powerboats, motoryachts and of course all the novelties of national and international boating. Potential buyers will certainly be able to take a free ride on the boat to buy.

But Genoa is also a three-day journey dedicated to the art of ink on skin, which connects enthusiasts with the world of tattoo professionals: it is the Tattoo Convention, which every year gathers the best old school designers and beyond. After all, Genoa is the natural habitat where the sea intertwines with personal stories to be written for life on one's body.

From figurative arts on skin to musical ones. The Count Basie Jazz Club is the place for parties for those who love the energy that springs from the notes of black music. The venue is inside the ancient convent of Santa Brigida from the 1400s, in Vico Tana on the Santa Brigida staircase, one of the historic Genoese areas: an open-air museum that shows the melodies of a city at times elusive.

 Finally, keep an eye on the periodic events of the Giardini Luzzati. Originally a place with little identity and representation of the city, today it is a regenerated urban space, a multifaceted gathering corner: architecturally and urbanistically beautiful, functional for the well-being of the community and tourists with cultural activities, leisure events and street artists.
