    Let's Travel to Liguria

    by paolatrips (07/04/2008 - 22:46)

    I like to travel and I do it every time I have opportunity for this. Not so long ago I went on holidays in Liguria, Italy. There I went to the province of Genoa because I was told it is not a problem to find accommodation over there. When I came to Ligurian Genoa, I rented a nice cottage on the Mediterranean coast. To be exact, I stayed in Genoa – the capital of the Genoa Province. I was struck with the city and its people. The first three days I spent examining the capital itself. First of all I headed for the city centre when I saw the Palazzo Ducale. In the past it was the place where the senators and doges worked. So, can you imagine how many laws were passed there?! I also visited the grave of Oscar Wild. I don't know why but he preferred to be buried in Genoa. When in Genoa, I wanted to visit the annual International Festival of Poetry. But I failed as it is usually held in the end of February, and I went to Liguria in April. So, I failed to fulfill my this dream. The other 4 days I spent traveling round the province of Genoa. I visited the 117-meter high lighthouse which is considered to be the landmark of Genoa. I also saw such places, like old forts of "Torre del Castelletto" and "Torre Quezzi", Palazzo Durazzo and museum of Antarctica. And I liked there a lot. I believe my vacation in Liguria wasn't spent in vain because I got to know many interesting things about Italy and its people.
