Five things to see/do in Genoa: The Gallery of the White Palace (Galleria di Palazzo Bianco) has a nice collection of European paintings from the 12th to 17th century.
The Cattedrale di San Lorenzo Campanile is one of Genoa’s landmarks, and offers an ornate interior and beautiful frescoes, as well as a good museum (Treasury Museum).
