The Palazzi dei Rolli is an open-air museum located in the heart of Genoa, showcasing a collection of palaces constructed during the 16th and 17th centuries to house the most influential aristocratic families of Genoa. This project also resulted in the reorganization of the street system in the historic centre, known today as 'Strade Nuove', which includes Via Garibaldi, Via Cairoli, Via Bensa, and Via Balbi. Visitors can explore the area and admire the buildings, such as Palazzo Rosso from the 17th century, as well as Palazzo Bianco and Palazzo Doria Tursi, both from the 16th century.

After a visit to Donegal Castle, make sure to recharge at this cosy tearoom. The daily soup and quiche specials can be followed with a delicious chocolate or fruit-topped dessert.

Camogli is a stunning fishing village and tourist resort located on the west side of the peninsula of Portofino around 20 km east of Genoa. Visitors are drawn to its beautiful pastel-hued palaces and homes, relaxed atmosphere, breathtaking hiking paths, and, of course, its exceptional cuisine. The town is renowned for its delectable focaccia, which is a must-try. To reach Camogli, travellers can either take a boat from Genoa or catch a train from Stazione Principe.

Portland's beer culture goes back to the 80s when the craft beer movement first began gaining momentum. What started as a handful of breweries has grown to be a crucial element of Portland's identity — one of its many nicknames being "Beervana" — with roughly 80 (and counting!) craft operations in the city. A great way to discover this side of Portland is by embarking on a bike tour of a few breweries, but if you want to squeeze a lot into a short space of time, we recommend Loyal Legion (99 local brews on tap) and Apex to sample the finest of local brews.
