Staying in Foce, Genoa
Foce sits in the eastern part of Genoa, stretching along the seafront between the Porto Antico area and the start of the Riviera di Levante. The neighbourhood takes its name from the mouth ('foce') of the Bisagno river, and it has a distinctly local, residential character: wide avenues, Art Nouveau apartment buildings, and a long promenade facing the Ligurian Sea. You will find few tourist traps here, which is precisely the point for many visitors. The Fiera di Genova convention centre is nearby, making Foce a practical choice for conference guests, while the sea views and the relaxed pace attract leisure travellers who want an authentic slice of Genoese daily life.
Getting around from Foce is straightforward. The Brignole railway station, one of Genoa's two main stations, is within walking distance or a short bus ride, connecting you to Cinque Terre, the Riviera, and beyond. City buses run frequently along the coast road toward the historic centre and the Old Port. If you are driving, the area is easier to navigate than the narrow caruggi of the old town. Hotels in Foce range from the four-star comfort of the Starhotels President (from 185 € per night, rated 4.1/5) to the well-regarded Boccascena Superior (from 99 € per night, rated 4.4/5), giving a reasonable spread of budgets under one neighbourhood.

The Old Port and the UNESCO-listed caruggi of the historic centre are roughly 2 to 4 kilometres west of Foce, depending on your exact starting point. A direct bus ride takes around 15 to 20 minutes, and cycling or walking along the seafront promenade is a pleasant option in good weather.
