Taking a hop-on-hop-off bus and riding the entire journey is a great way to see a city in a brief time. In Genova, there are two routes available: the red line and the blue line. These photos were taken while riding on the red line route, which goes through the city center.
Genova (also known as Genoa in English) is a city located in the northern region of Italy, on the coast of the Ligurian Sea. With a population of over 580,000 people, it is the sixth-largest city in the country. It is known for its rich maritime history and is one of the largest ports in Italy. It was an important center of commerce and trade during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and was the birthplace of many famous explorers and sailors, including Christopher Columbus.
