Genoa bike tour by the sea
A perfect route for all the sea lovers, which can be explored in all seasons, but is particularly suited to the warm weather, is the one that runs along the sea. Departing from Hotel Astoria by bike, you can leave the chaos of the city behind you and quickly reach the sea.
Explore Piazza della Vittoria, just a stone's throw from the hotel, with its iconic arch and artistic flower beds, featuring floral arrangements that reproduce Christopher Columbus's caravels. From here you can head toward the coast, heading to intercept the new bike path along Corso Italia.
A stop in the historic fishing village of Boccadasse is a must, now enlivened by trendy clubs and frequented by tourists and locals alike.
Continuing on, you will be able to visit some of Genoa's most beautiful beaches, until you reach Nervi. This elegant Genoese hamlet is renowned for its pretty little port, full of bars and restaurants, but also for the beautiful Anita Garibaldi promenade. Here it will be possible to stop for an ice cream or a tasty aperitif, before returning to the hotel.
Tour of Genoa's historic center by bike
For culture enthusiasts, a bike tour of Genoa's historic center can be arranged.
Departing from Hotel Astoria, the first stop is Piazza De Ferrari, with its famous fountain, and Palazzo Ducale, a historic building scene of fine exhibitions and displays.
