Tour description
This private e-bike tour from Genoa to Boccadasse offers a seamless blend of history, panoramic cycling, and authentic coastal atmosphere. Your experience begins at the Porto Antico, where you get comfortable with your bike along quiet cycle paths before entering the heart of the city. The route leads into the historic streets of the UNESCO-listed center, following Via Garibaldi, the famous “Strada Nuova,” lined with the grand Palazzi dei Rolli—a striking reminder of the power and elegance of the ancient Republic of Genoa.
You continue toward Piazza De Ferrari, the city’s vibrant square framed by the Opera House, the Palazzo Ducale and its impressive fountain, before reaching the House of Christopher Columbus and Porta Soprana, two of Genoa’s most symbolic landmarks. Here, you enjoy a short break with time to explore the garden, stroll through the Ravecca district, or simply absorb the lively atmosphere.
The ride then flows along Via XX Settembre, Piazza della Vittoria, and Piazza Rossetti, eventually joining the bicycle path of Corso Italia, a beautiful seaside promenade leading straight to Boccadasse. This small fishing village, with its pastel houses and quiet pebble beach, feels worlds apart from the city. You have free time for a swim, a slice of Ligurian focaccia with a glass of chilled white wine, or a relaxed aperitivo in a selected local spot.
After the break, the e-bike makes the final climb easy as you head toward Spianata Castelletto, Genoa’s most beloved panoramic balcony. From here, the entire city opens beneath you—rooftops, towers, the old port, and even the route you followed along the coastline. It’s a spectacular viewpoint and a perfect final highlight of the experience.
