Genoa 2022 Week 1- Holly’s Blog Post

May 24, 2022

On the last day of our first week in Genoa we took a field trip heading to Portofino with some stops along the way. We began by taking a train to Nervi where our first stop was the Wolfsoniana which is a museum that houses examples of Art Deco and Art Nouveau works.

 

When we finished at the museum we walked down to the Passeggiata Anita Garibaldi to take a break by the sea.

 

 

 

After a short while we made our way to Santa Margherita again by train where we began our beautiful trek to Portofino along the coastline.

 

Once we arrived in Portofino we made our way up to Chiesa Di San Giorgio to visit the church and get a good view of the city.

The last stop on our list was Castello Brown which has been used since Roman times for everything from defense of the port, a private residence, to a house museum. We quickly learned that the grounds were closed this week for a private event. So we decided to move on in search of some food.

 

 

As we perused the restaurants by the harbor, to our surprise, several celebrities marched past us on their way to the private event which we learned was Kourtney Kardashian’s wedding and reception. Pictured here are Machine Gun Kelly and Mark Hoppus from Blink 182 along with his wife Skye.

Deciding to start making our way back home, we took the bus back to Santa Margherita where we had dinner and dessert at Pizzeria Santa Lucia before catching the train home to Genoa.
