Genoa

A medieval old town of tangled alleys once funded by a maritime republic that rivalled Venice, a pesto tradition that locals insist can only be made properly with a mortar and pestle, and a coastline running straight into the villages of the Cinque Terre next door.
The best time to visit Genoa is Apr–Jun, Sep–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 20°C (68°F).
