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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Hola quisiera consultarte algo a ver si podés ayudarme. Ya que voy a estar viajando allà en poco tiempo. Tengo entendido que ene l puerto antiguo, que serÃa el puerto de donde salÃan los barcos de inmigrantes hacia Argentina allá por principios del siglo 20, se puede acceder a documentación e información de los antepasados, y quizá conseguir algo de eso para poder traerlo. Es asi? podrÃas orientarme un poco? gracias!!!

los barcos para las Américas partieron de los muelles cerca del Puerto Viejo (que es una estructura más reciente) He encontrado alguna indicación, si te puede interesar, busca estos sitios:
-italianinelmondo.ws/archivio-storia-emigrazione/135-le-navi-degli-emigranti-italiani.html
-storiaefuturo.eu/viaggio-non-finiva-mai-note-sullemigrazione-italiana-transoceanica/
Encontré un libro (en italiano, sin embargo) que podrÃa ser de interés:
