Picking the right location for your accommodation is significant for a great experience in the city. Whether you want to be close to the city centre, prefer quieter areas that are well-connected, or have no particular preference, there are many housing options for you.

Here are some top areas to consider when planning your move to Genoa:

Apartments for rent in Porto Antico

Porto Antico, or the Old Port, is located in the historic centre of the city. It’s a bustling area with plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés nearby. The port is just a stone’s throw away, and the Genoa Brignole train station is only a few minutes away. While rental prices in Porto Antico reflect its prime location, the benefits of living in the heart of Genoa make it worth it.

Apartments in Boccadasse

Boccadasse is about an hour’s walk from Porto Antico, offering a peaceful retreat from the busy city centre, so this area is perfect for those who look for tranquillity. During the summer, this area becomes a popular spot for its picturesque small beaches, perfect for a walk. While rental prices here are slightly lower than in the city centre, the difference isn’t very significant.

Rooms for rent in Genoa Center

The historic centre of Genoa includes the Molo neighbourhood, which represents the mediaeval city, and the Maddalena neighbourhood, known for its Baroque architecture. This area is always bustling with tourists, bringing a buzzing energy to the streets. If you choose to rent a room here, you’ll be immersed in this lively atmosphere every day.

Erasmus accommodation in Piazza Principe

Piazza Principe is a great spot near the city centre that’s also more affordable. There’s a station nearby, so getting around by public transport is easy. Plus, you’ll have all essential services close by and can reach the historic centre within a half-hour walk.

University residence for students in Genoa

Another option is to live in one of the student residences in Genoa. Generally, there are more applicants than available places, so it’s important to apply early to secure a room.

Many student residences include additional services such as cleaning or dining facilities. Prices vary based on location, room characteristics, and included services.
