What should I not miss in 2 days in Genoa?
The old town and Palazzi dei Rolli, the Aquarium and Old Port, pesto and focaccia, and a boat trip to Portofino.
Is Portofino worth it from Genoa?
Yes — Portofino’s glamour, pastel harbour and the scenic boat journey along the Riviera, often with Camogli and San Fruttuoso, make it a beautiful day trip just 45 minutes away.
