Genoa Travel Guide

Genoa Shopping

Shopping in Genoa is as elegant an experience as in any other city in Italy. Bargain-hunters will have their choice of luxury boutiques, antique stores, gourmet food shops and department stores - in addition to a plethora of souvenir and gift shops.

For those looking for high-end purchases, the best fashion shops in Genoa can be found along the Via Settembre, Via Luccoli and Via San Luca. Souvenir-hunters will love the handmade lace and carved olive wood in the shops lining the medieval-style Via Soziglia. There is a large shopping centre near the Genova Sampierdarena train station called Fiumara, which has a variety of shops and is near restaurants and entertainment venues like bowling alleys and pool halls.

Popular Genoa souvenirs include the intricate silver and gold jewellery made in the area, as well as Ligurian ceramic pottery.
