drmomsc Posted April 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2017 We are a family of 11- ages 9-78. The only stop I can't decide on is Genoa. We will be there on a Sunday. Our choices are: 1. Do Genoa on our own 2. Private excision to Cinque Terre 3. Private excision to Portofino and San Fruttuoso. We have not been to any of these cities. I am leaning towards Cinque Terre, but I am concerned about the travel time. We do not go to Livorno, so we cannot see it from there. Any thoughts or advice?

ljandgb Posted April 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Wow, if it weren't for the numbers, I'd've thought I wrote that post! There's 8 of us, 11-75. I'm also having trouble with Genoa. I think we're going to do the Aquarium there, with maybe a behind the scenes tour. I think Cique Terre looks too far away to do anything but a drive by. How far of a drive is Portofino? We're on the July 21 MSC Splendida out of Marseilles, FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmomsc Posted April 4, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted April 4, 2017 We are on the MSC Meraviglia the week before! Hope we like MSC- we have never sailed with them before. Portofino looks about 45 minutes away. I believe Cinque Terre is about 1 hr 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathleen21 Posted September 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have been researching this city too. This article from The NY Times was an interesting read. We are definitely going up in the sideways elevator! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/25/travel/genoa-italy-charm-alternative-rome-florence-venice.html?hpw&rref=travel&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region®ion=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotia_girl Posted September 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I am thinking a bus ride to the small fishing village of Boccadasse for lunch and then self exploring- maybe a hop on hop off tour if they have one or a short 1/2 day tour of the city - no companies or particulars figured out yet.
