In a nutshell

Costa introduces a new way to explore the city: a new experience offering the same quality, safety and duration as always, now reserved for small groups so as to best discover all the secrets of the city. We have arranged an “urban hike” along the city walls and scenic paths of the Alta Via Ligure. The destination will be the historic Zecca-Righi cable car. Stop for food at the Ostaia de Baracche, a Genoese institution.

Main stops

Forte Sperone
Forte Puin
Forte Castellaccio

The programme

Accompanied by the guide, board the Zecca-Righi red cable car to a point high above the city. Following an old path that runs along the 17th century walls you'll arrive at Forte Sperone, the most impressive fortress.
Continue to Forte Puin, which provides a 360° view. You're on the trail of the “neviere”. The name derives from the pits that were dug to collect snow (“neve” in Italian) and used to keep food cold. Essentially the refrigerators of old!
On to Forte Castellaccio and then a stop for food at Ostaia de Baracche, a real institution here in Genoa. Focaccia and cappuccino await you!
