Genoa
A self-guided audio walking tour of Genoa.
Genoa turns its back on the tourist trail and rewards the people who wander in anyway. The old city is a maze of narrow lanes called caruggi, cool even in summer, where washing hangs between buildings and a medieval palazzo can appear without warning around an ordinary corner. This was once the financial capital of Europe, and the grandeur is still there if you know where to look, pressed between the harbour and the hills. In the app, 86 stops in Genoa are narrated aloud, about 2h 26m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 49 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
