If you don't have time to go to farther places like Nervi, then Boccadasse is the ideal place to get sun and enjoy the beautiful sunset too. The mixture of colours of the houses looks like Portofino which is another extra. The icecream shop is famous and you have an exclusive restaurant there too. More

This was a place I wanted to see in Genoa,but we couldn't during by day.So one evening we took the bus (No 42 from Piazza Dante) and we arrived there. It is a wonderful place, a very small fishing village,with houses painted in different colors. For 15 minutes in which we listened to the sea and had an ice cream... More

At the end of Corso Italia by the Church of Sant’Antonio you will find the brick pathway that leads down to the small fishing village of Boccadasse. If the church is open, it’s worth a stop for its beautiful art work dedicated to people of the sea. Yes, I agree with the other reviews; it is quaint with boats on... More

From a tourist point of view, Genoa (Genova, according to the Italian spelling) is not an astonishing town when compared to other Italian cities like Rome, Venice, and Florence. However, there are some places which definitely deserve a visit. The small neighborhood of Boccadasse (literally from local dialect "the donkey mouth") is one of them: just walk on Corso Italia...

When people arrives in the end of Corso Italia (starting from the centre of the city) can see the St. Anthony church on the sea. The church itself is quite beautiful. But just there behind there is a steep walkway to reach the small beach below. I suggest to go there to enjoy some relax, eat an ice cream or... More

Boccadasse is an ancient fishing village, founded around the year 1000. This is a delightful and romantic must-see place, with an amazing view of those ancient homes, of the small beach and of the sea.. but also typical restaurants, bars, an historical gelateria and the Church of S. Antonio da Padova, where every June 13th the patronal festival is celebrated,... More
