The hostel and the Historical Center
Did you know that Manena Hostel has been the first youth hostel in Genova city center? Its fantastic location will let you walk back in the past, jumping through these medieval alleys, discovering unexpected hidden beauty in a big artistic and cultural mix. No wonder everyone is always surprised to come over here.
The old town as sung by Fabrizio De André – possibily Italy's most talented songwriter ever – is still to be considered among the largest and most densely inhabited.
A magical place full of surprises: typical restaurants, old fashioned shops, traditional focaccerie (focaccia is the best street food in town) and gelaterie (we have lots!). For some reason it looks like the best part of Genova was somehow hidden, made not easily available for its many visitors, but Genova is not Milano, nor Venezia... fortunately! :D
