There comes a moment when the world notices what we locals have always known: our city is a unique, rough, and precious jewel unlike any other. That moment is now.
We are incredibly proud to share that the prestigious New York Times has included Genoa in its highly anticipated annual list, “52 Places to Go in 2026“.
Being chosen as one of the top 52 global destinations to visit this year is not just an honor; it is confirmation that “La Superba” is experiencing a new Renaissance.
Why is the world watching Genoa in 2026?
No longer just a stopover on the way to Cinque Terre or the French Riviera, Genoa has become the destination. The New York Times celebrated our ability to blend the grandiose history of the Palazzi dei Rolli with the vibrant contemporary energy of the Old Port.
Those visiting Genoa in 2026 will find a city that thrills:
- Authenticity: Our caruggi (historical alleyways) are a labyrinth of historic workshops and trendy new spots.
- Gastronomy: From pesto to focaccia, our cuisine is a cultural experience in itself.
- Art and Sea: Few cities allow you to visit world-class museums and stroll by the sea just ten minutes later.
Live the NYT Experience at Le Stanze del Piccadilly
If the New York Times suggests visiting Genoa, Le Stanze del Piccadilly is the ideal starting point.
Why choose us? Because we are exactly where everything happens. Located on Via Antonio Gramsci, we bridge the city’s maritime soul with its historic heart. You are steps away from the Aquarium, the Maritime Museum, and the famous alleyways that charmed the American journalists.
With this global recognition, 2026 will be a busy year. We recommend booking in advance to secure your stay in the destination of the year!
