Should I join a photography tour or explore iconic spots on my own?

A guided tour, like the Essential Genoa Photo Tour, helps you find the best angles and improve your skills, especially if you're short on time. Self-guided walks give you freedom to linger, but you might miss hidden gems. For a balance, consider a private session with a local photographer to capture your memories while learning insider tips.

How can I capture Genoa authentically in my photos?

Focus on everyday life: fishermen in the old port, laundry strung across narrow alleys, and bustling markets. Early mornings are quieter and more atmospheric. Use a fast lens in low light to catch the character of the caruggi, and don't forget to look up—the architecture is full of surprises.
