Hello, my family will be driving (rental car) from the Como Area to Cinque Terre in June, and with having young kids (5 and 7), Genoa seems like the perfect place to breakup the drive. What kid-friendly activities do you recommend? We should have at least three to four hours available to stop here. The aquarium looks amazing so that would definitely be a possibility. We also are open to your suggestions. We would love to find a local restaurant for lunch and gelato too.
Definitely, the aquarium. Relatively close to the aquarium is Ostaia De Banchi for lunch. Not far away is Cremeria Buonafede, and they do gelato and semifreddo.
Those choices for lunch and gelato look amazing. Thanks so much.
Will I be able to park near the aquarium for the entire stay? I prefer to park at one place and walk the entire time while in Genoa if possible.
