Italy is a large country. You can drive for many hours to reach certain famous tourist destinations. It is really cool then, when you are able to find some cool places to stop on the way. While Genoa is a famous tourist attraction in its own right, we only had time to treat it as a rest stop on our way to the French Riviera. We were only able to spend about three hours in Genoa, but we were really impressed by how the city and the port looked. Read on to see some cool travel pictures from Genoa, Italy.

Genoa or Genova is a beautiful stop when driving from Milan, Italy to the French Rivier or Cote d’Azur. Genoa is situated about half way between Milan, Italy and Cannes, France and it is a great stop when driving this route especially if driving with children. We loved our stop in Genoa even if we were there only for about three hours.
