Great Area to Relax
May 2022 • Couples
The port area is big with plenty of seating areas. There is also plenty of shops, bars and restaurants around the area. Most people will go walking or running here. Very calm area to relax.

Probably more interesting to people living far from the ocean.
May 2022
As we live in a harbour city we experienced the old port as a tourist site with plenty of room, and the Calata De' Ansaldo Mari 1 as the highlight.

Sirens
Feb 2021
You hear sirens regularly here. Those vehicles with sirens come to a stop here and do their thing. Any place where you hear so much sirens is not good for tourists to visit. Dilapidated place.

A huge harbour
Jul 2020 • Couples
A huge harbour full of excellent and enjoyable things to see and do. The harbour is bigger than i thought. It has an aquarium, a maritime museum, it a port full of cruise ships and super yachts. It also has some nice restaurants. I went to a very nice burger restaurant over on the far east side.

Enjoyable walking
Aug 2020 • Solo
The port area of Genoa is a good place for a stroll, through all the streets and alleyways. It is an interesting historical city. There are plenty of tourist attractions at the docks area also, such as the aquarium.

My typical Sunday walk
Mar 2020
I've been living in Genova for the past 6 months and Porto Antico is one of my favorite spots to end my wanderer walks around the city. It is a quite popular place, but it offers a nice view of the yachts and cruise ships...and the city. If you want a Sunday afternoon walk, a place to see the sunset from close to the sea, but without getting out of the city center...or if you want a midnight romantic walk, this is one of those places.
