Shopping

Genoa's medieval lanes hide some of the best shopping in Liguria. Via Soziglia is the place for handmade ceramics, carved olive wood, and Genoese lace — crafts that have been sold here for centuries. Via Garibaldi and Via Settembre step up to high-end Italian fashion and jewellery. The Mercato Orientale, a covered market in a converted monastery, is essential for local produce, cheese, and the freshest pesto ingredients.
