2 Best Sights in The Italian Riviera, Italy

Loggia dei Mercanti

Maddalena

This merchants' row dating from the 16th century is lined with shops selling local foods and gifts, as well as flowers and vintage books and records.

Mercato Orientale

Portoria

A bustling place, this produce, fish, and meat market in a former church cloister has added a second-floor bar, restaurant, and cooking school. Experience the sensory overload of colorful everyday Genovese life while watching the merchants and buyers banter over prices on the ground floor, and then head upstairs for a drink, a cooking lesson, or to try authentic Ligurian cuisine.
