Travel essentials

Why go now?

Genoa is one of Italy's most intriguing, yet lesser-known, cities. It shines in summer when, as kingpin of the Italian Riviera, it offers access to some of Europe's loveliest coastline. It also revels in art. The Palazzo Ducale (1), its key cultural hub (Piazza Matteotti 9; 00 39 010 817 1663; palazzoducale.genova.it; daily 9am to 6pm except Monday, 2pm to 6pm), will salute the last of the hot weather with the 25 September opening of "The Impressionists to Picasso" (to 10 April; entry €15), with works by the likes of Monet, Degas and Van Gogh.
