How much does a taxi cost from the airport to the center of Genoa
Information translated from the official website of the municipality (in Italian Comune) Genoa:
According to the resolution of the Communal Junta ( Giunta Comunale) n. 432 from 27/11/2008 Additional 1 € for each Russian tourist on weekends or at night.
The minimum number of passengers is 3 people. Rates are subject to request.
Since Russian translators in Genoa do not take taxis, I did not check this information in practice.
Theoretically, if there are three of you, you can ask the taxi driver to take you to the center of Genoa for 24 euros, referring to decree number 432 ( delibera Giunta Comunale n. 432 del 27/11/2008 - approx. translator). If the taxi driver struggles, say in Italian " Polizia", Russian pronunciation [Polits s A]. But, if you do not know Italian, then it is better to take a translator.

Tours to Genoa, Italy
It is sometimes difficult to believe that today the only limitation in choosing a holiday tour may be the financial capabilities of potential tourists. Just a few years ago the situation was completely opposite - there were financial opportunities, but the organization of tours was not of high quality. Today, tours to Italy in February or holidays in Cyprus in March will be organized at the highest level by professional travel agents who are ready to make every effort to ensure that your holiday is unique and bright.
It is possible to choose not only a country for a holiday, but also a city for accommodation. For example, the cities of Italy, which today is the undoubted leader in the list of countries loved by tourists, are presented in great diversity. Some people prefer to relax in the center of the country, where life is characterized by the luxury of big cities. Others are more interested in staying in small port cities, where there are attractions and beach holidays at the same level.
Among the port cities of Italy, the city of Genoa is popular, where today you can stay comfortably and at affordable prices. Small comfortable hotels will be an excellent place to relax for both youth groups and families who come on vacation with children. For newlyweds or businessmen, the best accommodation option would be rooms in prestigious hotels, which are also available in the city.
Regardless of which accommodation option you choose, the main time of your vacation can be spent in two possible ways. In the first case, the vacation will be represented by trips to the beach, which, despite the proximity of the port, is crystal clean and equipped with the latest technology. In the second - numerous excursions. Meanwhile, there is an opportunity to combine business with pleasure by alternating relaxation on the beaches and cultural recreation on excursions.
The centuries-old history of the formation of the city of Genoa has left a large number of cultural and historical values, which invariably, year after year, attract the attention of tourists and guests of the city. Even if you prefer shopping as your main leisure activity in a country like Italy, you can always find time to explore the attractions that, without exception, are in any city, regardless of its age and population density.
The main attractions of Genoa are not only the numerous squares and buildings erected at different times in different architectural styles. You should definitely visit the Cathedral of St. Lawrence, Cathedral Chapel of San Giovanni, Porta Soprano. These are not just the cultural values of Genoa, these are the historical sights of Italy. Particular attention of tourists is attracted by the large number of beautiful palaces, which have long become not only the decoration of the city, but also its calling card as a city with a rich cultural and historical heritage.

Museums of Genoa (Museum of Natural History Giacomo Doria)
The Giacomo Doria Natural History Museum (Museo di storia naturale Giacomo Doria) is located on via Brigata Liguria and is one of the most important museums in the city. The museum was opened on April 24, 1867 thanks to the financial and moral support of Giacomo Doria, who served as its director for the next 40 years. On October 17, 1912, the museum moved to a new building, but due to a serious illness, Doria was unable to attend the opening of the new building. Soon after this he died and Gestro Raffaello became the director of the museum. At the time of construction, the museum building was located in a practically uninhabited area and this was done specifically so that it would be possible to expand the museum in the future. However, very soon the area where the museum is located began to be built up quickly, as a result of which the museum lost the opportunity to expand.
At the end of the 19th century, the Italian Geographical Society financed several trips to uncharted lands, including Sumatra, Burma and New Guinea. During these travels, a large number of plant and animal specimens were collected, which were preserved in alcohol and became very valuable exhibits of the museum. The museum is famous for its collection of invertebrates, which is the largest in Italy. After World War II, the museum acquired a large collection of specialized literature, after which its library became the largest in Italy with a similar subject. In addition, the museum contains a 20-meter skeleton of a whale that died in 1878 off the coast of La Spezia.
