Are you in Genoa for the Boat Show, as an exhibitor or visitor, and don’t know the best area to stay?
You should know that the famous Boat Show takes place inside the Genoa Fairgrounds, located in the Foce area.
This area, with more than 15,000 inhabitants, is one of the most populous in Genoa, and although it is not in the center of the city, it is a few hundred meters from it.
It is a well-connected neighborhood with several clubs, stores, elegant hotels, and bed and breakfasts.
In this article, I have selected what I think are the best hotels, B&Bs, and vacation rentals located near the Genoa International Boat Show.
If you think these facilities are not entirely cheap, you should know that during the Boat Show period, prices go up quite a bit due to the high demand of visitors.
In this regard, I recommend that you book a little in advance to avoid having to pay a disproportionate amount for a few nights’ stay.
