This is a street of the World Heritage Site of Genoa. The Red Palace and the White Palace on this street are also part of the World Heritage Site, but I recommend a set ticket to visit the three palaces including the Tursi Palace. It depends on the number of people, but it is worth seeing, and at the same time, it feels like you have seen enough. It is a must-see place when you come to Genoa.

Our second time in Genoa and of course we walked through this lively street of the city again. It was born in 1550 with the name of Camino de los Reyes, in 1882 it received the current name of Via Giuseppe Garibaldi. Elegant buildings, art galleries, sumptuous palaces, public offices and some museums are what we see as we walk through it.

Genoa was a maritime city-state that competed with Venice and Pisa for supremacy, and the ancient streets built on the slopes exude a unique atmosphere, giving you a sense of the past. Garibaldi Street is home to a group of mansions that are registered as World Heritage Sites, and the Red and White Palace is particularly famous. The streets are narrow, so you won't be able to capture the entire building, including the palace, without a wide-angle lens, so I took this photo with the wide-angle lens on my iPhone. If you turn off the street into an alleyway, you'll find the seedy atmosphere unique to a port town, but I got the impression that it would be best not to get too close. It's about a 15-minute walk from Piazza Principe Station. I only stayed there for one night as a stopover on my way to and from work, so I would like to take my time sightseeing if I have the chance.

A more unique than rare example, a street composed only of noble palaces, the result of the subdivision decided by the government of the Republic in the mid-16th century (to raise cash...). Of course the main reason was to show others one's power and wealth, but at least this left us with a series of notable buildings. Many buildings are still private property and can only be visited on special occasions; Despite its UNESCO protection, this spectacular road still remains little known outside Liguria

Really nice street to walk down with historical building/palaces lining the street.
Of the via is many small laneways making the area full of little shops, cafe and bars.
Many of palaces are now museums and some are good to see.
Highly recommend going during day and night to see the contrast in atmosphere of area.

The street is lined with numerous historic palaces that were built by the great families of their time. Today many have been converted to museums, restaurants or commercial establishments. A great way to see the opulent old architecture of the city.

Very nice place to go for a walk and see the beautiful palazzi, browse some shops and eat great gelato! Several are open as museums of art or architecture and decor. Be sure to get your entry ticket at the bookstore next to the first palazzos. Inexpensive ticket gets you into three of them. This was a great, inexpensive and easy trip from our cruise ship. There were many more to see but we stopped after these three. We took a cab to the plaza at the end of the street and then came back to that plaza and found a taxi stand for the return trip to the ship.

Long, narrow street lined with mansions/palazzos from Genoa’s golden age. While most of these palazzos are now banks, converted offices and other commercial properties, several are open to the public as museums. Most of the main floors of these buildings are open and you can take a look at some truly exceptional art and architecture.

Built for forty years by the Grimaldi family to leave the medieval neighborhoods behind.
And therefore an infamous area of Genoa became noble.
Some of its palaces are framed within the rolli (World Heritage Site). declared in 2006.
Nice walk and enter several of them.

Beautiful pedestrian street lined with numerous palaces
14 majestic buildings in all, some to visit such as Palazzo Tursi, Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Rosso
Others occupied by banks or the municipality
Restaurants and cafes rub shoulders there

Hello, we will spend two days in Genoa. How much time and what time of day shall we plan for Via Girabaldi? We are traveling with teenage daughters, any other destination that you recommend? Thank you.

Hi. A couple of hours for via Garibaldi. You can visit the Red Palace and the White Palace just at the end of the street. Than you can wander the historical center. Cheers
