Christopher Columbus spent his childhood in the much-restored stone house next to the beautiful little cloister of Sant'Andrea, with its delicately carved columns and arches. There's not much to see in the museum inside, but the combination of the house, gate, and cloister make this short detour worthwhile as you are sightseeing in Genoa.

Its terraces of arcades almost overflowing with elaborate stone monuments, the cemetery is a must-see for anyone who loves Art Nouveau sculpture and decoration. At the top, in the Boschetto dei Mille, is the tomb of Giuseppe Mazzini, Italy's hero of independence and a Genoa native.

At the corner of Via Roma, from which you can access the Galleria Mazzini shopping arcade, stands the Teatro Carlo Felice, built in 1828, and rebuilt after World War II. Among Italy's finest and largest opera houses, this new state-of-the-art venue has flawless acoustics and hosts concerts and jazz along with opera.

Genoa was a major Mediterranean naval power, especially from the 16th to 19th centuries, so its old harbor is an appropriate place for the Mediterranean's largest maritime museum. The Galata Museo del Mare occupies part of the Darsena where the Republic of Genoa built its own fleet, with four floors of engaging exhibits that give a good picture of ships and navigation from the Age of Discoveries to ocean liners and submarines.

For the best sense of the enormity and activity of the harbor, as well as to see the big ships and the little Porticciolo Duca degli Abruzzi, used by yachts and sailing boats, hop onto one of the many harbor cruises. As a bonus, you will also get the best view of the city itself, spread in a giant bowl at the foot of the mountains.

At Genoa's harbor, some 22 kilometers of wharves host cruise, pleasure, and transport vessels in one of the Mediterranean's two largest ports (the other is Marseilles). As the traffic outgrew the Porto Antico (also called the Porto Vecchio - old port), a series of new facilities and a maritime station were built for shipping commerce, to welcome cruise passengers, and now house a maritime museum and aquarium. But the historic section remains, and you can still see the Darsena, where the galleys of Admiral Andrea Doria were built.

At No. 4 stands the Palazzo Balbi-Senarega and at No. 5 is the Palazzo dell'Università, with the finest courtyard and gardens in Genoa. Opposite Palazzo dell'Università is the 17th-century Palazzo Reale, worth seeing for its grand staircases; balconies; sumptuously decorated interior; and art collection, which includes several by Van Dyck, who lived and worked in Genoa for six years. Step onto the beautiful garden terrace for views of the harbor and Piazza Statuto.

There is evidence that Castello Hill is one of the most ancient sites in Genoa, in use when the early tribes traded with the Phoenicians and Etruscans. Between the 12th and 16th centuries, a succession of churches and convents were built here.

The highlight of Piazza Matteotti is the Jesuit church of Santi Ambrogio e Andrea, built 1588-1637 by the Renaissance architect and artist Domenico Tibaldi (1541-1583). To many, this is the most beautiful church interior in Genoa, in exuberant high-baroque style with marble, gilded stucco-work, frescoes, and two paintings by Peter Paul Rubens. Although the façade was not added until the 1800s, it is based on drawings by Rubens.

From Piazza Matteotti, the busy Via San Lorenzo runs northwest to the harbor. You can't miss the dramatic Cathedral of San Lorenzo, built originally as a Romanesque basilica in the 1100s, remodeled in Gothic style in 1307, and finished off with a Renaissance dome in 1557.
