This event represents a crucial reference point for the entire industry, promoting dialogue and growth.

WHAT AND WHERE TO EAT IN GENOA DURING THE SALONE NAUTICO

September in Genoa is for all tastes, not too hot to indulge in some hearty first courses like ravioli and pansoti, nor too cool to have to give up an aperitif with a sea view. So along with a good glass of local white wine at sunset, enjoy some delicacies such as farinata (a savoury cake made of chickpea flour), frisceu (leavened fritters), panissette (like fries but made of chickpea flour). Inevitable then is the focaccia genovese, which is eaten at every hour of the day, from breakfast with cappuccino to dinner.

But if you are in Genoa, you cannot miss pesto, especially with trofie. Just a few weeks ago the trofie with pesto from our trattoria Cavour modo21 was chosen among the best in Genoa according to the magazine ‘La Cucina Italiana’.
The typical Genoese trattoria Cavour modo21 is just a few minutes by bus or car from the Fairgrounds where the Boat Show is held, at the end of the ring road by the sea, in Piazza Cavour. Here you can find all the information on how to book a table.

Then when you return home and want to taste again the gastronomic specialities you have discovered in Genoa you can have them delivered to your home from our e-commerce Molo modo21.

THINGS TO SEE IN GENOA DURING THE SALONE NAUTICO

The Boat Show is organised in the exhibition centre with access from Piazzale Kennedy, in the eastern part of the city. From here begins the Corso Italia seaside promenade from where you can reach the typical fishing village of Boccadasse, which became famous for inspiring the Pixar cartoon ‘Luca’ with its colourful fishermen’s houses.

The centre is about ten minutes away by bus. You can get off at XX Settembre and experience the Genoese shopping streets or continue to Piazza de Ferrari, where the historic centre begins. The Piazza de Ferrari is overlooked by the Palazzo Ducale, which is the most important cultural centre in the city and where events are always organised. There are currently no exhibitions in the main exhibition area of the Palazzo, i.e. the Doge’s flats, as an exhibition on Man Ray has just ended. Photography enthusiasts can visit the exhibition on the famous Italian photographer Letizia Battaglia in the Sottoporticato of the Palazzo Ducale.

The whole of Genoa’s historic centre is an open-air museum and we invite you to lose yourself in the alleyways of our city, so rich in history, amidst and noble palaces such as those on Via Garibaldi or the Palazzo Reale on Via Balbi (you can find a guide to the visit here). The Porto Antico, with the Aquarium, can be reached from the city centre or by using the metro from Brignole Station or by taking a bus from Corso Aurelio Saffi towards the west (there is a bus stop a few hundred metres from the Boat Show). And if you are with a family in tow in this article we summarised five things to do on a weekend in Genoa with children.
