Fall in Genoa is an eventful season. Indeed, the still mild temperatures make it possible to explore the city and take part in guided tours, exhibitions, festivals and concerts, both indoors and outdoors. On fine days it is still possible to visit Genoa on foot warmed by the sun's rays, admire the artistic and architectural works and relax at the end of the day with a good aperitif overlooking the sea.
Among the most anticipated events in autumn are the Rolli Days, which this year took place from October 14 to 16, and will be repeated in the spring. On this occasion it is possible to visit many of the city's ancient noble palaces free of charge, including those that now house offices and private residences.
Also highly anticipated are the initiatives organized by the Aquarium of Genoa on the occasion of its 30th anniversary, whose program of events will be unveiled towards the end of October.
Staying at Hotel Astoria allows you to attend all the events in the city: thanks to its central location, you can easily reach all the main squares and museums in Genoa either on foot or by public transportation.
