So <strong>lifts<\/strong> and <strong>funiculars<\/strong> quickly lead you to the upper city. The most famous is Castelletto&#8217;s lift, which allows you to admire the extraordinary views of the historic center, the roofs (where there is usually there&#8217;s a second access to the houses), the harbor, the sea and the whole Ligurian coast.<\/p>\n<h2>Among the roses looking at the sea<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15126\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Fioritura_parchi_Nervi-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Fioritura_parchi_Nervi\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Fioritura_parchi_Nervi-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/Fioritura_parchi_Nervi-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nervi is the extreme periphery in Genoa&#8217;s east, but it is not like the other city suburbs.

Here you will find nine acres of parks between exotic plants and squirrels that surround three villas that have become art museums. Two kilometers of promenade over the sea and the famous roses of Villa Grimaldi await you.<\/p>\n<h2>Among the historic shops<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_15128\" class=\"thumbnail alignnone\"><img class=\"size-large wp-image-15128\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/29049900401_35b1e54731_k-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by William via Flickr\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/29049900401_35b1e54731_k-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/08\/29049900401_35b1e54731_k-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><div class=\"caption\">Photo by William via Flickr<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The shops of the big brands are the same around\u00a0all\u00a0the world, but Genoa also offers something different: the fascination of the historic shops that Genoa has been able to retain as few other Italian towns.
